1989 Isuzu Impulse Turbo – “Handling by Lotus”
The Impulse was sold to a gentleman in Denham Springs, LA (East of Baton Rouge) for $415 and is in the hands of a good owner. He’s going to “fix it up”. He, along with two of his buddies, met me at the Chevron by the Breaux Bridge Interstate exit in an older 4-door Jeep Cherokee with a small trailer and followed me to my mom’s house, where the car’s been sitting for a couple of years. He was so excited – he hopped out of the Jeep, ran to the Impulse and “humped” the front-left corner of it. His two buddies and I man handled it and pushed it onto the ramp after a few tries. It was obvious they had done this sort of thing before. The (flat) rear-left tire was put in the trunk and replaced with the front-left tire. The spare was put on the front-left. Got it? This way, 2 good tires were on the back, for the trip East on I-10. I took a picture of the happy customer with his new toy, which I will add to this post.

I’ll add stories related to this car, as well as the ’85, some time. YA RLY. That’s where the autobiography part kicks in. I plan on writing tidbits of information that lead to other things – this reminds me of that, and so forth. Like Wikipedia where there are links to other articles, within the article. It will take some time before things come together, but I’m in no rush.
