You'll never guess what car my father bumped into earlier.

Whatever you guys think it is, you are right. Car's a survivor, but could use some bodywork.

The car broke down at this very spot, and wouldn't start up, it needed new ignition coils. were these known to have reliability issues?

I'll be that guy. What is it? Other than the fact that it's a Buick Reatta. What's so special about it?

I'm not so sure myself, but I'd say it's the design which was ahead of its time.

I actually saw one of these Monday (no SR20). It looked rough, not rusty, but Floridaized.

Possibly because it has a touch screen in a car in 1988?

Looks like somebody bumped into it long before your dad. Often.

I don't care what anyone says; Reattas and Allantes are cool in my book.

Oh, and they're somewhat reliable... unless you count every single thing in your field of vision once you're behind the wheel.

My father talked to the owner, and pointed out that it needed new coils.

I really dislike these. I don't understand why you people like them. They're basically a FWD, GM, shittier quality Miata.

Yeah, I don't see it either. It's just a Malaise era shitbox with a different design. my father snapped the pictures because he bet me that I didn't know what it was.

So cool. I feel bad for the people that can't/don't appreciate cars like these.

My "computer" teacher in elementary school owned one. Was like an exotic car at the time. Everyone would gather around it haha. `

Haha I like these. A car doesn't have to be a great drivers car for people to like it. I like these too:

They can't corner for shit.
