Few Regrets 1800

I can understand your frustration, I was just trying to zen you into accepting water under the bridge as water under the bridge.

My curiosity piqued, I looked his ID up on eBay and saw what looked a couple of items that looked like they might be from my old car. The fuel door in particular, I recognized the 'unique' combination of tan and gray primer on it. And also perhaps the horribly faded carpets?

For whatever reason 1800's have utterly lost their appeal to me. Perhaps it's just the sad experience of having two of them die under my care (one violently bent into an 'L' shape when someone ran a stop sign), the other one getting smashed into from behind at a stop light and then succumbing to salt rust. but neither 1800E I had was ever half as much fun to drive as my PV is. I'm not exactly sure why. Of coruse, the PV isn't stock (at all) any more, so it's a bit unfair to compare it to a bone stock 1800E, but even when the PV leaned like a sailboat in the corners and had 90 tired HP pushing it around it somehow was more fun to drive. Now it has 175(ish) HP, corners like a modern spports car, and is loud enough to make Harley riders wince...
