My new ride... Chick Magnet!!!!!! ?

[kx250rider]

78HP? That's exciting! My Corolla Diesel is only 47HP. (but seriously, the torque will pull a house off it's foundation, just about).

I've been busy and haven't tried to drive it on the road yet. I got the last few things (new glow plugs, some hoses, etc) that I needed to make it ready to test-drive. Maybe Monday.

I'm going out to look at another Buick Century later today (one with a common, ordinary, ho-hum gas V6), which flunks inspection but has a showroom-condition interior. If I buy that one, it has all I need to make the Diesel one "perfect" physically, including factory radio with stereo 8-track tape player.

Now I hope everyone knows that I know, the whole point of fixing up this car, is to get laughed at in car shows . Honestly, every time I do this, the laughter turns into "Wait a minute: I haven't seen one of these in running condition in (x) years... In fact I don't think I've ever seen one in person!" Then all of a sudden they think it's cool that somebody actually "saved" such a worthless hunk of junk from the scrap yard.

I think that's a compliment... But I've never been in a movie or TV show.

My sister-in-law has that Murcielago, and a couple other Lamborghinis. Here's her garage: My wife is in the tie-dye, and her sister is in the pink shirt.

My garage is full of 1980s Toyota Diesels, and now a Buick Diesel. When I get a chance, we're going to go visit my sister-in-law, and drive this '84 Corolla Diesel up there... http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m174/kx250racer/th_BlueCorolla11-09.jpg

I'll take a spoof picture of the garage open, and one of the Lambos out in the elements, while the Corolla is parked safely inside. I'll have it made into a poster and sell them to Toyota owners
