Shouldn't that be a "Red Barchetta"?

Yep, there are several "ugly" cars I would take under my wing because they are so ugly they are cute {this is not one of them... and if I had 1M I would pay off my mortgage, buy a 996 turbo, and put the rest in the bank ;) }.

Like the Nissan Juke:

Local is selling a Valiant... I have no idea how I would pay for it or where I would find room for it... but I told her I was interested.

Copilot raise the gear after landing instead of the flaps? (Nose gear will retract but often not the mains. As the nose sinks onto the ramp the mains are held in the down position. Saw a C-54 do that at an air force base in the early '90s when they delivered it to the base for the museum. Copilot grabbed the gear handle vs. the flaps as they cleared the runway and it crunched onto its nose in front of the assembled dignitaries.)

Anyone seen my 7/16" combo wrench?
