1978 Chevy Caprice station wagon - bought new and driven HARD - 130,000 miles before we sold it. Required normal maintenance, which was performed on schedule.

1978 Olds Delta 88 - bought new - 130,000 miles before we sold it. Required normal maintenance, which was performed on schedule.

Perhaps you neglected your vehicles.

Izzuzu Impuls. I like the little pop up lights and the over all design. From what I recall the build quality was not that good and it was pretty anemic.



Ford Probe. It was a Ford from the early 90's. Looked cool as a kid. Not to impressed now.

1974 Audi Fox. For some inexplicable reason, I thought it was a cool car....

Breaking Bad definitely brought the cool factor a notch up for the Aztec. A prius isn't much prettier.

I know, I'm going to wait 'till it's available online. It's going to be tough, but I'm going to wait 'till I can watch it in one go. I'm an adult now, should be able to handle this....

The Prius is at least appropriately understated and good at what it's made for. The Aztec? Yecccch!

VW Corrado G60 - the coolest vw ever until you owned one....Half of it was Golf/Jetta parts, half were Passat parts - and everything broke.

example - the powered rear spolier was on the same fuse as the instrument cluster - so when it got stuck and popped the fuse, your speedometer went to zero...
