    Tijuana tuck & roll? I've only seen one car with any, and it was a filthy rat's nest inside.

    My dad said it used to be real popular to do, he heard stories of the stuff they used to fill it with... Most of it was probably just that, stories...
    Like filling it with marijuana and then when it's on the other side of the border they rip your seats open and take the drugs, leaving you with a worse interior then when you showed up to get it done...

    My temperature could be a 137, not sure I would ever get that ill to cozy up to this car. Was really on the fence of trying to find some redeeming feature, then that interior smacked me in the head like a 2x4. Barf

    It's overdone for sure and I'm not big on the grill insert either, but for $2,500/$1,950 it's still a good car and would be a cool project.
