    • Never go to a psychiatrist, adopt a straycat or dog. On the street they live only two years average.

I have a soft spot for Opel, especially the GT. My adopted Pops, a car guy’s car guy, had one.  My first car was a Kadett station wagon.  I loved that car.  Figuring out how to get the standard tranny into reverse took a minute.

In Germany the GM are Opel.
When I was young I bought a used Maverick 6L 3.8 as my first car, this thing has reverse gear aside to 1st gear, as a result I hit the car behind at a traffic light on a hill.
