There's a guy (I think I've posted about him before) that posts on HC that lives kinda near you that builds omnis into crazy fast little cars. He used to hang out with one of my cousins.

I have a soft spot for omnis, I drove one all through high school.

I'd be terrified to go 130 in that thing.

Those are cool little sleepers.

Had a friend in high school that had one.... It got zero respect from the hot rod/muscle car crowd or the sports car crowd. Fast for what it was but it wasn't really fast.

My mom had one of those when I was a kid.

Never understood why Carrol Shelby put his name on those things.

There is nowhere on God's green earth that one should drive that POS 130 mph.

Ever.
