Now that I think about it, if I hit the lotto I'd need a good beach car too. I always like Subaru Brats for some reason. I'd probably get the suspension beefed up a little and a transmission with a good low range installed so I could actually take it on the beach but I would definitely want this paint job

 
You need a suspension like on this Subie. My buddy built this for his son to take to college this year. It's a true bad ass Subie

What about the sweet ride you already have??? Isn't it an Austin?? I can't quite remember what it is --- I know it's red and a roadster but that's it.

67 Austin Healey 3000.  My dad gave that to me, I would not have picked it out but am thankful for it.  It is hard to get in and out of.

I'm surprised nobody has called me out on my 83 Vette comment. There was a hint there to see if anyone was paying attention.

I went back to look ...  I think you're actually using "squeeze" as a euphemism. Did I get it right?

They never made a 83 Vette. Well, they were never put into production. I have seen one before but only at a corvette museum.

Love the Karmann Ghia.  I found one for sale for $200 when I was looking for my first car.  I wanted it so bad.  

That same GF's father test drove it with me and told me it was junk.  

He floored it and it got louder but didn't really accelerate.

"It's got nothing."

The motor was shot, and the body was probably 20% bondo.

No lie- I worked with a gorgeous Pinay once named Ghia who had a twin named Karmann.  The dad was a car nut.

I checked out a VW bug the other day, really cool they brought back the round chrome wheels and improved the shape somewhat. I still wouldn't get one, but I like it far more than the second generation one.

I'm a big fan of these old jeep trucks as well. If I hit lotto this weekend, I'm gonna get this one...



Then I'm driving to Reno to buy this camper to go on back
