Anybody Have a Soft Spot for TURBO Cars?
Wife had a mid 80's Turbo New Yorker like this one. Bought it used from a friend for $300 in the mid 90's. Went good enough for her and decent ride and mileage. One day in Amherst NH, at a light a late I think a late 80's Firebird stopped besides us and the driver laughed and pointing at the turbo and gave a thumbs up. Of course we looked like a pair of old fuddy duddy's. As the cross light turned yellow, I started to add throttle and brake to spool the turbo, our light turned green and I got the jump on him. After about an 1/8 mile he finally passed, but the look on his face was priceless!
