Cars

One of the options we've been floating for me is to keep the old subaru and drive it in the winter but have a cheeky old sports car in the summer.
One of our neighbours around the block has been restoring a Triumph TR6 for the past 2 years. We've been watching. Today he mentioned that he's ready to let it go for $2,500 to make room for a Corvette.
He's given it a Datsun engine and GM parts, so it's more reliable.
I think we'll go drive it this week.

Dude. For $2500, if you won't take it, we will.

You know you want it.

Does it get better milage than the Subaru? They're good in the snow, but the gas does add up.

My commute is 10m of open highway. Not a big issue.

That sounds like a pretty killer deal. Check the floorboards, they're a known rust spot on those cars.

Will do! Thanks!

A repowered Triumph will somehow find a way to ruin your life.

A Porsche with only 63k on the other hand...
