I’ve always been fascinated by “cool” cars that have obviously live a long hard life. “Junker” sports cars have a definite appeal. I think it was the movie “The Big Chill” that included an old beat up Porsche that I absolutely loved.
But this storyline is based on the kind of car that I had most of the time growing up. I’m a strong believer that early drivers need a healthily trashed used car. I know I learned a lot about cars putting band aids on some of my old junkers in my early driving experience. Of course none of them had left over spy gadgets.
