Looks like he got his bell rung pretty hard and was picking grass out of his teeth for weeks, but survived.

As Richard Petty used to say

“he got to wreckin”

[RegulatorCountry]

I’d say it rolled at least four times, there’s not a straight body panel left on it.

Did you know that six speed Tremac trans is made in China? It takes a while to get used to. Getting it into reverse is “fun”.

They’re older and have more insurance...

Stay out of their way in parking lots!

[PLMerite]

Just takes a little imagination...and a few bolt-on parts.

Apologies! My previous reply sounds a lot snarkier on the screen than it did while being composed in the aether. Cheers, Byron

And the mpg is.......?

[nascarnation]

Did not know that, but not surprised.

They used to be made in Mexico.

I know a lot of auto components have taken the journey from USA mfg to Mexico mfg to China mfg. China taking jobs from Mexico exacerbated our illegal influx problem.

Now I’m seeing smaller China stuff that has moved on to Vietnam and Indonesia continuing to seek lowest labor costs. The bigger stuff that is heavily tooled takes longer to move.

[HeadOn]

Did not know that. I’ve had no trouble with reverse.

And the mpg is.......?

Probably something south of 5mpg at full throttle, and not much above that any other time.
