Best E28 Accessory Ever?

Post by Capital »

Image

I remember these from when I was a kid and have been looking everywhere for one. Tried online a couple local places that sell quirky stuff, no luck. Today I was meandering around an army surplus store and there they were. Couldn't believe it. Package was marked 1994 with copyright dates going back to 1980. It even has the, "Need Help Call Police" lettering on the otherside!

A buddy of mine had a 91 Camry when we were in high school. Best car in the world. The thing cost like a few hundred bucks, and as such, it was beat to hell and back. It was a 5 speed, but the clutch was almost completely gone, it had a bad starter solenoid so we had to bump start it 9 times out of 10, the ignition switch was dead so we wired in a radio shack lighted switch with a huge red safety cover and a start button. It was an absolute turd, but we could cram 5 people in it and get around town. :D

One summer we pulled the doors off it an cruised around like that. I think it was the most fun I've ever had in a car. I just remember trips to and from Home Depot (we were building a shifter cart in another friend's garage). We'd load the trunk with materials, then 4 guys would hop out, get it going pretty fast, and then a quick chirp of the tires when he popped the clutch. Then it was a mad scramble to get back in. Good times... :)

Yes, and it's Bronzit-like in color, to boot!
