Should I trade?

[Pip]

Riattas have special interest value?  I'll be damned.  Unless you are talking about the original (1940).  I think I would rather own a Rambler.

Mmmmm... Rumble seat.

It IS kind of a weird car. I've done a little research, and it was basically a hand-built, two seat version of the Regal that was offered for four years at a price that would almost have bought a 911(I'd trade for a 911 in a heartbeat, but no one's offered.  ). I'm both intrigued and scared that it has a touchscreen to control radio, climate control, and ancillary gauges, computer diagnostics,and a digital dash. If it ever has electrical problems, I might as well junk it.

Thanks for all the input. I think I'm going to make the trade.

YIKES!

[Turf]

for 7 years i haven't needed a car through all weather. it's a mindset. good rain gear pays for itself



in that case i'd make the trade. the DRZ will be easier to handle offroad anyways.

Quite correct, unless...

Car ownership = 0, and probability of rain > or = 50% then car > bike

I've been car-less for 5 years rain is just more fun.

A college buddy of mine had a Rambler and it was only four years old.

Here's what you do Buick-Boy:

Make the trade.

Sell the Buick.

Vacation somewhere nice.

I'd trade, just for the sheer oddity of the Reatta.

Ha!  Go to Michigan and see just how much of an "oddity" they are.  You'll see residents still driving those, Fieros and even Pontiac's biggest mistake..the Aztec.  They're all still on the road.




That is..if they're aren't rusted out.  A little bondo takes care of that though!

........even Pontiac's biggest mistake..the Aztec...........

the Aztec was more than a mistake...it was a bad omen,

a harbinger of things to come for the US auto industry...

to the untrained eye it was merely a visual abomination...

to those more perceptive it was "The" sign of doom

a veritable crow perched on your kitchen window sill cawing

a hat or shoe on the bed

a bat in the house

curdled milk from the cow's udder

Ill see your Aztec and raise it a Citation!

My cousin was still driving the tweety bird yellow Aztec last summer.   

She offered me a ride in it but I declined and walked the mile and half home.
