Great story Rick. And yes, I remember that offramp. It was fun in my Mustang too!

I actually bought a local one last year for grins and to flip. Had fun with it for awhile and made
some money on eBay. Low miles with a 4-spd.
A guy in Alabama bought it and he had it shipped via open carrier all the way from Seattle.

Actually, my Opel GT was one of my favorite cars as a teen.
Although the valve cover is big... and the cam IS in the head, it is not an overhead cam.
Grossly under-powered. Flip over headlights were a pain to keep working, suspension was acceptable at best.
But with a good hard set of Polyglass tires along with the torque tube
on the rear end, handling was super predictable and consistent. The freeway off-ramp nearest my house (Keegan, HWY-50 east at Bradshaw) was a constant uphill gradient (1.5%) and not 90 a degree left hander... more like 105. You could come off the freeway
and never slow down, at the turn pop down a gear, tap the brakes flick left then full oversteer right into the most repeatable 4 wheel drifts... every time. OK, the other side of the Freeway was where the Ice Rink was where I worked and played Hockey...
I was spending a couple hours a day on a Zamboni so 4 wheel drifts were every day life at that point. I'm sure it helped.
I had a CHP follow me all the way to my folk's driveway one night... told me that he would love to write me a ticket but just couldn't. I never exceeded the speed limit and although he said it looked like I was almost completely sideways, the
little car never left it's lane... Looked spectacular!! I know you didn't mean to do it
<wink> Don't do it again.
Before I left for Canoe U. I probably did it another 100 times.

I must be getting old, I don’t see the appeal. All those nonconformists are all alike...
Tattoos?
The jeans no longer have holes in them. We now know where the money went.
