I'm quite likely mistaken - but if I'm not...it is. Got that?

I thought they actually made a diesel Isuzu Impulse at one time. Hard to believe this car was based on the Chevette chassis....

you should find a crysler lebaron turbo or a crysler spyder turbo. 4cly cars and you can get the turbos cheap.

didn't even make 10 post before the bomb it post came in.

An S10 diesel? I've never even heard of one of those. They must be really rare?
