I think I still have burns on my scalp from scalding gear oil that poured out of one dead box! Another fond memory is looking up at the door handle of the stretch limo “Rolling Chicane” while passing it in the Esses at Buttonwillow Raceway, and essentially seeing eye-to-glowing-brake-rotor… it really is a small car.

All of you are legend. My GT is in the drive, yet does not. 

I’ll never forget my opel gt my first car, taught me how to fix my own car, made mistakes learned from them.  the car made it almost 100k before the engine blew. Fortunately that happened after I traded the car for a Honda not sure that was a great choice but it was what economics required. Miss that car more than you know.
