So let's hear about and see your cars.

Just picked it up this morning. And it's listed for sale. Can't get that 94 Z out of my head.
 
Just found out my wife's CX 9 has coolant in the oil. The motor is a 3.7L Ford and apparently the water pump is in the engine and driven off of the timing chain. Apparently if the timing chain get loose the water pump "floods the engine with coolant" according to the dealer. She is bound and determined to put $4,000 into a car worth $8,000 car with 180,000 miles. My son and I keep trying to make her understand that even if the water pump issue is fixed, the damage my already be done and she may only be buying a few months. There is just no logic there. She has this irrational hatred of buying new cars. But when I get her one, she loves it.
 
My 1978 Silver Anniversary is now owned by my oldest son. This is a current pic. Never been in an accident. It has a little over 30,000 miles on it and is completely stock except for batteries, tires, shocks, brake lines and pads, bushings, and a new gas tank. Neat car in its day, but slower than your average Honda Accord with a V6 today.

Very cool car. I always thought the C3 was good looking. Growing up in South Africa it was one of the cars we oogled over.

It did get the looks back in the day. I sat in it a short time ago and rediscovered why I sold it. Probably one of the most uncomfortable cars to sit in and get into and out of. It’s range was about 200 miles, and that was about the limit of my ability to tolerate the cramped seating. My head touched the ceiling with the t-top on.
