Corona would be the lap of luxury compared to my 35 year old fond memories of pedalling around in a tiny 2 door Corolla Sprinter of the same vintage. But beware, parts are not going to be five and dime variety anymore.Comment

There are many who would seek out Maseratis, Porsches, Rolls Royces, and the like, if they had the correct digits from a corner store hail Mary, but I prefer such as above, because the people that you meet in such vehicles (like Festivas) make you rich in more ways than just what a lottery can give you.In love with a MadScientist!:thumbright:
There's a fine line between breathtaking ingenuity and "That's the stupidest thing I've ever seen!"

Nicely stated and a good summary of conspicuous and flaunting wealth vs subtle and discrete common man rolling history lessons.Originally posted by DriverOne View Post
Mind you Coronas were top of the line at the time. And a 2 door must have been as frivolous as you could aspire to from a full size Japanese car.Comment

Dad had one of these when he first got his license, later that night it was sitting on its roof in a ditch. The next day he jacked the roof out and drove it around for awhile. Good thing grandpa had a towing service that dad worked at for years so he didn't have to pay for the tow.Originally posted by gadelbert1 View PostOld Japanese cars are AMAZING...
