A guy down the street in the neighborhood I moved into a few months ago has a Grand National that I sometimes see while I'm walking the dogs. I have not yet found a good excuse to make friends with him with the sole intent of him letting me drive it some day. Playing the long game. I love me an inconspicuous beast.

But then I think, "Where would I put it? Where would I drive it?" and remember those monsters got single digit mpg and had crappy handling and brakes, and getting parts would be expensive and not only would it take a huge space just to park it, but also it would require the same space again to work on it.
So instead, I just watch "Jay Leno's Garage".

I expect you could find one if you looked hard enough.
But since they last almost forever, even 100K miles is considered "low mileage" on the Saturn Forums site. They consider mine to be barely "middle aged."

It did have A/C. Very modern compared to our Sharpsville car with no A/C.

Our HOA's management company is all up in arms because we are repainting the exterior of our house without HOA approval first. Irony is that we are repainting it the same color. SMH

A 1983 VIN Y Buford is one of the things nightmares are made of. Getting the air cleaner off that thing would be the limit of your mechanical ability, and getting it back on would cost you money.
Say no to that, Velo Vol.

$3k. I imagine that's the opening bid, 7 days left.

OK, you've convinced me--no bid.
Trouble maker.
You should be required to paint over your repainting.
