The truck sounds like fun. :D
 
1989 Mazda MX6 GT Turbo with 4 wheel steering (pretty rare car actually).

This is the only car I've ever owned that I really miss terribly. It was one of the nicest cars I have ever had--powerful as hell, handled great, smooth and quiet, extremely comfortable, and nice looking to boot. I would change the oil and it came out honey brown--looked like brand new oil even after 3000 miles.

I blew the turbo at 130K miles and had to get a new car to get back and forth to school, otherwise I would still have her.

Anyone else ever own one of these sleepers? It ran a 15.0 in the 1/4--this is a 4 cylinder/5-speed car back in 1989, folks.

Thanks,

Guhan
