1991 jetta.

-used to be fun to drive until the suspension went  
-no spedometer cable makes guessing my speed a great time especially when being followed by a cop  
-i get to fix my exhaust every couple of weeks  
-lack of linkage makes guess my gears at stop lights a great time. “am i in first or reverse? let’s find out the hard way.”  
-really nice snow tires so it handles really well in the snow  
-second gear is fucked so it makes a really crazy grind when the car is cold so i tell people it’s the dog teeth for racing.  
-driving cross country or up the street is an adventure  
-digi!!!  
-no power steering so i don’t have to go to the gym as long as i parallel park at least 5 times a week.  
-back doors don’t usually work so it’s like a sports car because it’s a quasi-two seater without the insurance jump!!  
-it’s white so it shows dirt/battle scars really well and makes my car look dirty/tough  
-there’s a red button on the dash that’s connected to nothing and i can tell people it’s for nitrous/turbo/supercharger/wastegate dump etc.  
-some stuff leaks real bad so it’s like a mobile swimming pool in heavy rain  
-my girlfriend hates it so we fight about it and don’t break up making our relationship stronger

:lol:

My '01 Passat, perfect Daily Driver/ Sales Guy car.

Comfortable, reliable, good on gas, decent power, looks decent, Etc.

Best of all, for work, Potential “customers” don’t think anything special of it. It’s not too nice where they “hate on you” for having a nice car, and it’s not a POS that says “I’m not a good sales guy” LOL

Honda S2000 :

- Point and shoot handling
- Light-ish car and great brakes
- No traction control to fuck you over when you are in the middle of doing fun things
- 8 seconds top up/down
- 28MPG when I don’t beat on it
- 9K sounds like sex
- **I never drive when we go out because “I can only fit one other person in the car”**

Galant VR4:

- Retardedly cheap to insure
- When it works, it’s fun to drive
- Very comfy interior
- Modability
- Axis spins
- Massive turbo lag, stupid 272s
- 29MPG
- Cops don’t bother me
- Girls don’t look at me in it either. ☹
- Leg Vents (not just feet, it has vents for your knees and thighs)
- 5 speed

MR2: Literally everything. It’s the most fun car I’ve ever owned.

Lotus: It does everything the MR2 does, only better in every way. BUT, it can never be as reliable, or help me sleep at night knowing all the things that can and eventually will go wrong with it. I’ve been pulled over 5 times in it, in the first 4 days of driving it, all for nothing. It’s truly an amazing car, but they need constant attention, and to be driven. If you even look at it wrong, it won’t just fuck you, but also your mother.
