On a small and foreign machine in the Motor City: "What are you, un-American, son?" ...No, I'm not sure /you/ should buy one. Yes, it's really vintage. Well, it burns oil, and they're illegal to import now, so it's not really "green." Oh, and there's no one left to work on them anymore, so here's your wrench. 4 manual gears. ...um, fast enough on 10 inch tires to race you to the next stop light. 800 miles in 3 days; that's my record, anyway. ...and if all you really want to know is the miles per gallon, you really just don't get it.
