[V8] All the Best Cars have been built. #2

[diemarthadie at aol.com]

I'm ok with the conversion cars, but I think that falls out of Rogers 
plan since its not 'stock'.  I nominate the stock 4 cyl model.  It met 
every need I had.  Cheap, solid, reliable, easy to work on, good 
mileage, usable speed (though hardly a rocket) with the manual, 
zillions of parts cars out there... when I sold my '82 DL Wagon it was 
at 200k, and it's still on the road 10+ years later with probably 
300k+.  Oh, and it had hit a tree dead center at about 35mph when I got 
it.  Rebuilt it with new/yard parts in my barn and shot some paint for 
a total of under $300 and drove it for 5+ years.

I'll ditto the Miata by nominating my '91 British Racing Green Special 
Edition - for exactly the same reasons: cheap, solid, reliable, easy to 
work on, good mileage, usable speed (though hardly a rocket) with the 
manual, zillions of parts cars out there :)

Although the DL wagon held a lot more crap than the Miata does :)
