2nd '80 and Righteous Again
Hello everyone. My very first car was a red 1980 I bought in college in 1987. I couldn't afford repairs and wound up trading it for an MR2 after less than a year.
Now, almost 20 years later I have returned to my senses and have another 1980, this time a black 4-speed. I'm the 3rd owner. It runs well, but needs a lot of work to be a really nice driver. I'm not a mechanic, but I love these cars. I would someday like to have a C1, preferably a '54. I'm also considering a C6, but the C3 is my favorite. Nothing ever looked as drop-dead sexy.
