For the win! Friend of mine had two (one for parts, of course). Totally fun. Any kind of accident, well, a beer can has more structural integrity. Super easy to work on; easy to overheat as I recall. Vague shifting and steering; made much more so at speed as the front end starts to lift at highway speeds (yeah, right -- must've been downhill). Heard a rattling noise in the engine, couldn't find it. Pulled the head, found a carb nut embedded in one of the piston crowns; looked like it had been there for a while. Ah, memories. Probably the most fun in the worst car I've ever had.
