Topic: My most questionable vehicle.

I didn't expect this one, but a friend found the rare windshield at a pick-n-pull that my yard car need, and now I have two months to get it ready for the Rocky Mountain Breakdown. Abandoned since at least 1995, I've had it since 2012 as a parts car, but haven't really needed parts from it.

You have a mini-Corvette?!  Save it.  Please.  These are too wonderful to commit to the race track.

Exactly this. I am putting this Opel GT back on the road. It was an abandoned car, but I was able to get the title for it a while back. I tried to give it away on an Opel group, lots of people said "If only I were closer", but no one would come get it. It isn't getting restored, but if I have time I'm going to swap it from an auto to a 5-speed with parts that I intended for my Kadett. I might fall in love, we'll see. I needed a fuel efficient car to drive around town anyway.
