I love my 86, which is why I try to approach it from the rear so I don't have to look at the front and get pissed at the morons who stuck this car with that face.

It was awesome, for 16-17 year old me at the time. Would love to have one today.

I love that car.
When I was 13-14 I had a paper route (look it up on the history channel lol). Someone on my route had one of these Opel GT (red, as I recall). As well, someone else a Porsche 914. Also another guy had a couple Porsche 356 (not really impressed at the time).

As soon as I could I went out and bought a Fiat x1/9 (which I wish they would revive).
