I would give brown town to that rear |
| Foxscotch:
the spoiler helps I guess but it's still imperfect |
| Strovbe:
YO what's a good, cheap car I can get that won't break down in a year? My budget's like 1200 at most (I'm broke as forget). I don't like most Japanese cars, usually, but if it's gotta be Japanese that's fine too. |

Turns out its fuel pump in the tank was upside down from when the last mechanic replaced it. Its not a bad little car though, its almost cute. Its transmission was no more than a foot long --- End quote --- My aunt used to have a yellow one I think. There is also someone who lives on my street with a green MG coupe. My dad has a friend who has two in his garage. I've been in the garage before and I think one is red and the other is blue. |

I don't like most Japanese cars, usually, but if it's gotta be Japanese that's fine too. --- End quote --- I have three recommendations, mostly because i own two of them 1995 Buick Lesabre I know its ugly and slow and gives you almost as much street cred as does a bicycle but its also bulletproof, my Dad's has taken endless abuse. Hes driven it 60000 miles since he bought it 2 years ago with no major problems, the only thing to watch out for is the front suspension, they go out a lot on older buicks 1996 Cutlass coupe, I own one and its an utter joy to drive pros: 3.1 L v6 gets average to good mpg low end torque gives 0-60 in like 7 seconds good throaty noise >:D never had any issues in the 4 months ive owned it good factory stereo, mine has a tape deck :D looks sporty and agressive passenger and driver airbags plenty of room for 2 people in the back with decent legroom Very large American trunk many parts are interchangable with other GM cars of the same year making parts very cheap and easy to find cons: Intake manifold gaskets often fail and lead to coolant burning interiors are not very high quality and are often in poor condition Oldsmobile badge=no street cred Battery located under the washer fluid resevoir which is under a bar mine bounces revs at idle door handles are terrible as they are vertical and up near the window, they break all the time 1990's Celica I own a 1987 model convertible, but most of these traits carry on to newer gens Pros: Cheap: often 1000-1500 easy they last forever, the body will rust off the frame before the engine dies as is with most 1990's Toyotas shares engines with camry's and Rav4's Street cred- you look cool in one quite fast with a little mod work great mpg, I get 25 easy with mine if you get a hatchback larger trunk than you could ever fill with everyday use Cons: Back seats arent very comfortable, not much leg room or headroom in back if its not a hatchback (convertible or 1989 or older coupe) prepare to ride with bags in the back seat the ones you find for cheap often have 210,000 or so miles rust prone Insurance is high, especially for GT-S models |
