I'd drive that!
Previous owner of my house had two second-gen 2-door hardtops like that, one stocker and one with a SBC in the back seat. I haven't seen any others around here in the last 3.5 years since he moved. There used to be a beautifully restored Corvair Spyder around here too, but I haven't seen it in 15 or more years.

Still crazy after all these years!
I went through a "Corvair Period", just after my "Volkswagen Period".
Which did you like better?

This one.
A VW project has always been in the deep recesses of my mind but I've never taken the plunge. Sure would like to be in the right circumstances one day to get one. You can do so many things to 'em.

Fascinated by rolling objects!
What are the details on the Datsun big B? So this has triggered another old man story. Bought a junkyard refugee Datsun to use as my only vehicle for $75 in '90 or '91. Drove it everywhere until the head warped and was blowing head gaskets. Had the head shaved flat and reinstalled it which cured the gasket problem but of course it was still warped and broke the cam in half. Took the back half of the cam off and the back two spark plugs out and continued to drive it to work (slowly) for a couple more weeks. Ironically my sons rode skateboards that cost $125.
That's a cool looking car! I have an old man Datsun story to add to E-mans. I learnt to drive a clutch in my mom's 69 Datsun wagon. One day I asked her if I could use the car and she replied " it needs a starter". I went out and popped the hood and saw what I assumed was the starter and thought how hard could it be? 2 bolts a cable and a wire. I proceeded to remove it with my dad's Thorsen socket set, put it under my arm and rode my 10 speed to the local Checker Auto Parts store. As I remember the reman. replacement cost a whopping $8.00 of my hard earned dish washing money. I returned home on my bike with a shinny new starter under my arm, reinstalled it and informed my mom it was fixed. So, that ole Datsun long roof was my very first auto repair job and to this day my mom will tell you it was the worst car she ever owned. It blew head gaskets too.
Tail Light Tuesday... sweeeet! I'd definitely rock it!!!

I know it's not Tuesday but I need help identifying the kind of car these taillights are on.
Our younger daughter was involved in a road rage incident this weekend and she snapped this photo after a guy cut her off, slammed on his brakes, threw it in reverse, sped back to her, and got out of his car running up to her car shouting she'd messed with the wrong guy!
To me it looks like an SUV. It's unique features are the shape of the taillights and location of the reverse lights The kind of car it is, is right on the tip of my brain but I can't find it.
Now here's the funny part. Our daughter is a terrible driver. I've ridden with her twice and it was scary. I'm guessing she cut him off without realizing it. But it's still no excuse for that kind of behavior. For goodness sake, she's a librarian and a book editor, total book worm, sweet as can be!

Looks familiar but I can't place it just yet...
Terrible for your daughter, regardless of driving she doesn't deserve that.
Kia tends to put the backup lights in the bumper, but I'm not finding a positive ID yet.
