I see an Opel trend in this thread. Is Opel the gateway car to the Porsche?

My first car was a 73 Manta. Bad body and really ripped up interior but it cost me $300. Best deal I ever made in a car. Over 3-4 years I drove it all over the US when I used to race bicycles, the odometer was broken, but I estimate I put close to 75k miles on it with the only expense being a set of tires, a clutch and a driveshaft u-joint.

And the car was fast. My little brother got arrested for going over 100 mph in it.

Yikes! Sorry. How do I resize the image?
