TOday I was going into a gas station to get a drink and a 70+ year old man said he liked my car.He said he was looking for a new car and wanted something that him and his wife could have sex in...LOL I just started launghing and said you could put the rear seats down.Then he started talking about maybe getting VW bug and I told him to goto our local mazda/Ford dealer and have a look around because he will find something better there.I also said you will not be able to have sex in a bug.

False! My girlfriend in high school had a 99 beetle. The front seats fold forward pretty far, leaving plenty of room on the back bench. You can't lay down but she can ride your lap all day.

If they were 70+ they may be worried about injury. You aren't as flexable at that age and one wrong move and you need a new hip. Any car with a front seat can accomodate 2 people getting nasty but they probably wanted something with a bit more room to move around and explore the space of the vehicle. +1 for sex in the car.

Getting noticed...

Here's my 2 cents worth...

I'd say this is the perfect "sleeper". The only people you should expect to get noticed by are ones you race or that know about this specific model.

I really like the looks of the car myself, but really, there are a number of hatchbacks that look kinda like it to the untrained eye (which is most people). If it were a sedan - it would be even more so!

If you want a car that is reasonably priced and "kicks butt", this is it. If you want something you get noticed in, restore a car from the 70's or earlier. Just about any make/model will get lots of comments wherevever you go.

I get more comments about my Restored Jeep or Harleys on any given day than I will probably get on this one in a year.

I LIKE it that way. This "sleeper" is a keeper!

I get plenty of looks in my car, but mostly after ppl hear it

and, well if it is truly a restored CJ-8 then I have no doubt that you get PLENTY of looks, those things are sweet (pics?). My dream restore is a '85 M5 or go extreme classic and fix up an old camaro, I would def get some looks in those cars!

Don't get me wrong...it is a great looking car. I just feel that the Speed3 makes its biggest statement by far in the performance area. It's hard to "see" performance for the general public and it doesn't come stock with a lot of "bling".

Case in point...I have two Harleys. One is pretty new and dripping in chrome and has won a few small shows. The other is a 48 year old bare bones chopper. Everybody looks at, and many comment about, the chromed-out springer, but many less stop to talk about the '59 to which I have made quite a few mods and it can outrun the springer. The people that comment about the '59 know what it is - just like I would expect with the Speed3.

Probably nothing more to say here besides this: I have owned/restored/sold many cars and bikes over the years, and I can't see myself getting rid of my new Speed3 any more than I can my Jeep or Harleys. I believe that says it all.

I'll PM you a couple pics of the CJ-8 Scrambler to try to keep this thread clean and focused on the Speed3.
