"As an homage to the EPOdays of yore- I'd find the world's last remaining pair of 40cm ergonomic drop bars.....i think everyone who ever liked those handlebars in that shape and in that width is either dead of a drug overdose, works in the Schaerbeek mattress factory now and weighs 300 pounds or is Dr. Davey Bruylandts...who for all I know is doing both of those things." - Jerk
Recently sighted in the Twin Cities - a Pontiac Aztec in drivable condition! Don't see that every day.
Too bad I couldn't get closer to the Aztec, but this showroom condition AMC Eagle was in the way. A car way ahead of its time actually. The original crossover.
And sighted just now, a Land Cruiser just four doors up the street from my new house in Michigan. I'll try to talk to the owners as soon as I can!

As a foolish teenage driver, I was "racing" my parents home on a road trip from VA to NY with a couple of younger siblings in my sister's AMC Eagle. At that age, we were immune to any bumps and potholes and trying to beat mom & dad. Started making increasingly loud and odd noises as we grew closer and closer, but needed to keep driving to beat our parents. Dad recognized a smell as soon as he pulled in the driveway (about 30 minutes after us) and popped the hood to see that one of our bumps had perforated the oil filter and we had proceeded to drain all of the oil. He was livid that we had driven like that and certain we had blown the motor. But he screwed on a new filter the next day and poured in the new oil and wouldn't you know that it showed no wear at all. No knocks, ticks or any damage. In all likely hood it was a close call/miracle, but that vehicle as a legend in my mind....until my sister drove it off the side of the road and into a pond, if my memory serves me right, with the sun in her eyes ~ she does fine now, but she was pretty horrific as a teenage driver.
Congrats Joe, that's going to be fun. Please add a Woodstock Peace sign ASAP.

Took the 911 for a "spirited" drive to the coast using twisty bay area roads after my bike ride today. My god this car is so good. Traveling at jail driving speeds with amazing grip, radio off, windows down, stupid but thrilling. Smoked a guy in a Ferrari on Pescadero road, not quite sure he has realized what happened to him yet :)

We went and fetched this on Friday. Lowest mile used orange w/leather that we could find. Previously owned by a nice 73 year old lady that selected every doodad, protectant and extended warranty (all transferable) available and changed the oil religiously every 2,500-3,000 miles up to its current 38k. Total cream-puff.
Tires at 4/32s will be replaced in the spring, but we use winter tires anyway.
Hopefully the bumpers will stay attached longer than they did on her Impreza (it sits almost 3 full inches higher).
