    I know, I know, steering wheel is on the wrong side. It was free, and cheap at that price!

    Weren’t they mini V8s? Nice model…clipped wings for low altitude, don’t need those tips for lift and extra drag.

    I only had it for six months. Left it at a friend's house and went to Japan. Never came back for it. Sent him the title, signed, when it was forwarded to me from the dealer. (An Aunt left me a wad of money when she passed. I was kind of stupidstious about that money, so I moved it on.)

    I avoided speeding tickets by having a hot gal in the passenger seat. Miami Vice.
