gr8scott Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 My sins of my youth and age both caught up with me at the same time, and being quite a bit limited in physical work and mobility, I haven't worked on my 89 Coupe. Thankfully it gave me no trouble and other than a slow tranny drip, everything is fine. The leather (maybe vinyl) on the drivers side door armrest, and the center console cover are beginning to crack in places in spite of garaged parking and leather conditioners. I take it out for weekly spins to keep things from getting stale, and once a month on a short road trip of 80 miles or so on the freeway to blow it out a little. During the most recent road trip the odo passed the 81,000 mark and thing are running smoothly. I laugh when I see a 3 or 4 year old vehicle for sale around here, with a "low mileage" of 150,000. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDirk Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Great looking car, and I really like the setting in the pic. Did you have the car lowered at some point? Almost looks like it based on the gap - or what I perceive as a lack tbereof - between the tires and the edges of the wheel wells. Be sure to enjoy the fact that it's been a reliable car, I don't mind wrenching and tinkering, but it's always nice when it just works and you don't have to worry about what might break next. At 30 years old, these cars can get into a cycle of needing multiple repairs in a short time frame, and that can get rather frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZVET Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Beautiful Reatta. I wonder when these cars will start to rise in value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski.dive Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Yes, this Reatta looks like it has been lowered? What size tires do you have on this Reatta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I believe he has said before that his car was lowered with Photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8scott Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 As stated above I'm limited in what I can do, so what I can't do with a jack and a wrench, I do with Photoshop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
