Nice bullet-proof doors, and the bp glass is very normal-lookin'.
Is it solar or fusion powered?

Canardman's is hot-air powered Chrisisall

Don't they have roads out your way? That might be why your first vehicle didn't last.

What's even funnier is that you're pretty close to the truth.

When I moved from LA to a rural county for undergrad one of the things I liked to do was to explore all the back roads I could find. Unfortunately, my car was a 1980 Mazda 626 coupe. I'm sure all the bouncing and scraping and general abuse I put that car through contributed to its giving up the ghost at the age of 19. It's too bad, I was hoping to make it to 300k.

Now I'm getting all nostalgic for that car and some of the adventures we had. Creeping over Shasta summit in a snowstorm with a tire chain on only one tire and that chain lashed on with wire scavenged from my audio system... Breaking an axle doing 70 and having my left rear tire assembly walk its way out and bounce away while the rear end sat down and I sparked to a stop... And many many more.

Good times. Great car.
