forgotton cars
Where did all the 90's Plymouth Lazers and Dodge Daytona Z's go, they were all over the place in the 90's
one of my first cars was a 1991 RS Turbo Laser 5-Speed. My knees bashed the steering column every time I'd shift gears and I had to adjust the seat down & back to keep my head from hitting the sunroof (and I'm only 5'11")
Sadly that car is long gone. My dad and I sunk a fortune in it (it was my mother's car and she gave it to me, hoping I'd stay far away from powerful muscle cars).
I replaced the ECM, Upgraded the Turbo, Injectors, etc, did a full rebuild on the engine, with a nice Port & Polish, Repainted the Car in a dark metallic green (was an Electric Blue), dyed the interior Black, and installed a full Alpine Stereo System. A week after I finished the car, my folks split up and my mother took the car with her, gave it to the son of the guy she was seeing behind my dad's back.
I found out that he put the car through a fence (trashed the front end) and then blew the engine up :mumum:
My folks got back together about 6 months later, but I was out my car and money :banghead: Boy was my mother pissed off when she found out I had not only bought a Muscle car ('74 Duster), but that I also refused to sign the title for the Duster over to her. She kept insisting that it would be better off in her name... Yeaaah right, I lost one car because of that, I'm not stupid enough to try it a second time :finga:
I still keep an eye out for a Laser on occasion though, I wouldn't mind getting another RS Turbo 5-Speed car to putt around in. But they're so hard to find anymore. 10 years ago I would see them all over the place, and the junkyard had rows of them (all with bad bearings or trashed turbos). Now, You'd be lucky if you could find one at all.
