Cheap performance.

[Antisocial]

[Trumpy]

My little list:

1980 Subaru 4wd station wagon 4sp manual + dual range 4wd (absolutely indestructible)

1992 Subaru Liberty station wagon 5sp man

1998 VT Late model camira 4sp auto

2000 Mitsubishi Magna Sports 3.5l Man

2003 XR6 Turbo 5sp

The first Subaru was great fun, unbreakable (even in the hands of a P plater) and would go anywhere. My parents used to wonder how I got it so dirty all the time. Used to try and 4 wheel drift it on the dirt roads up the mountain.

VT Late model camira was a piece of junk, got out of that lease early.

I would still be driving the Magna (great car, just no character) if the T didnt come along.

At least you got to reuse your cardigan Matt

I agree. I did the same thing. In fact I will never buy an all new model of any car before it has been around for at least a year ever again.
