For a while, you could get Espadas dirt cheap. Of course then you'd sink a small fortune into repairs and maintenance.

I thought they were underappreciated at the time. I mean a V12 hatchback, how cool is that?

The Rampage is pretty neat. The 5 speed cable operated shifters they put into the Omirizons and their derivatives were absolutely terrible to drive. While in gear you could move the shifter a good 6 inches left or right. Imprecise doesn't even begin to cover it.

And, yes - one of my first experiences with a m/t was in one of these.  Almost put me off diy shifting for life.
Shifted from 2nd to 5th a bunch of times. Bogggg.   Third was up there somewhere allegedly.

Interesting video on the 66 Lincoln Continental convertible.  I’ve always loved the looks of these things and even thought about buying one some day.  After watching the complexity of the top in operation i no longer have the urge to own one.  Now i understand why there are so few still around.  I’m still fascinated by them though.

So in my various searches of hybrids and EVs in Alberta, I searched for a Nissan Leaf and found "The Sex Panther". It's an 06 Nissan Sentra.  ::) Props for the creative ad I guess, other than pretending his Sentra SE may as well be called a Sentra GT-R.

The photos of it being loaded or unloaded from a trailer in front a dealership/mechanic give pause to the claims of reliability too.  :D

Yea, but for some reason he didn't have the hatch locked...

While it might qualify as a diesel AWD wagon, the interior materials are far from "soft touch" so, sorry, I pass...

I was signed up for the tracked course following basic training, but someone on another course put an M113 off an embankment, so the course was postponed pending the outcome of an investigation. I was re-assigned to the comms course. Radioman isn't nearly as fun.  :(

There is a place in Minnesota where you can pay to drive various tracked vehicles. I want to get down there someday.
