The caddy Cimarron came standard with a feature that caused the headliner to drop onto your head as soon as the odometer his 36k.

It may not the biggest POS in history, but it was certainly one of the most over-priced.

Nice! You gotta love those early Corvairs.
As I recall reading back then, the turbo Corvair was the quickest American car when it came out.

That would be the "Cosworth" Vega. There was also a "Yenko" Vega Stinger.....both rather potent for the times.

Yes there were some marketing issues b/c it was faster than the Corvette at the time. :D By today's standards both are a snail however.

Clunker for sure....Between my Corvair and my 996 I have a garage full of clunkers I guess... I keep tracking my M96 engine and it keeps not blowing up. Beating the odds!

Nick I was ribbing speeder based on an old thread or series of threads. Porsches unwanted 911 would almost certainly be the 912E
