Ahh my heart skipped a beat when I saw the 1980 Corona. My first car was a 1980 Corona 4 door Luxury Edition (this is before Toyota changes that to LE). Simple, but fun and classy, for a tiny japanese sedan. It had no real power but the auto was geared so that the first few seconds of acceleration would always push you back in your seat. After that, it began to wheeze, but when you think about it, that is all you really need. That initial feeling of taking off. I've had much more powerful cars since then, but I will always have a soft spot for the Corona.
Something is just not right. Why are all the butterflys totally open, yet the things sounds like it is just above idle. I suspect lameness or something bogus.
@TampaShooters: I guess the actual model makes a difference as well. My 37" LG 720p looks much better than my friend's 1080p Panasonic (46" I think ), using the same dvd and player.
Hey, what is with the Seattle hate? The city and its people are amazing. Sure we have some nutjobs, but who doesn't. You should have seen our satellite Sanity party on Sat. Epic.
I volunteered for a few weekends for the L.A. Natural History museum. My duty, help with the autopsy of a beached pilot whale. I can still smell (15 years later) the "bucket of brains" I got to scoop out in the name of science. But wouldn't trade that experience for the world.
