The Mits was a Japanese Porsche. The turbo was great and the car ran real smooth at, shall we say, highly illegal speeds! It always got looks because it was somewhat rare.
The day I bought it I took it over to show my dad and let him drive it. He ran it through the gears on a few twisty roads enjoying it immensely (compared to his Ford LTD!) While we were out we drove by the medical center and he wanted to stop in to get his blood pressure checked. It was sky high probably from the fun he was having driving the Starion.
The other car was a 76 Alfa Sprint Veloce. To this day I love the look and the lines of that car. I especially liked the way the dash was laid out. Tach in front of the driver, all other guages including the speedo were in the center of the dash out of the drivers direct line of sight as if to say don't worry about your speed, just don't blow up the engine! Too bad the car was so unreliable!
