The car was only insured at the minimum.
( " I mean ..seriously, what kind of fool would steal a car that stands out like this ! " )
Boy was I wrong !
I'm just hoping to not have to have the car towed home. $$$
BTW, I have been aeromodding the car since the day I bought it 21 years ago.
Basjoos beat me to it, but I planned a full boattail on the car even before Ecomodder existed.
I never got around to actually just going for it and going all in.
One memory I have of the car was when I sealed the front hood gaps with soft clay. This was summer, and the clay melted - oozing from the front of the car, and looking like the car was vomiting.
At the time, the car was in perfect shape ( perfect paint and interior etc )
People actually walked up to the car in the parking lot, totally bewildered about what was happening.
Nowadays, people would have had their phones out, taking video of it, but that was so long ago that there were no smartphones then.
I've had a lot of failed experiments with the car over the years too.
I made an engine plate ( partial bellypan ) using sheet aluminum riveted to aluminum bracing.
It worked great until I started the car ! Lol
Even at idle, the thin sheet aluminum rattled loudly.
It was a fantastic car.
I'm looking at newer ( used ) vehicles now, and keep coming back to this car as my ideal car.
I even love the "missing" mirror on the passenger side ( less frontal area ! )
