This was my first car in high school. No idea what my dad was thinking buying me one of these. 1998 Honda Prelude. One of my buddies who knew stuff about cars put "goodies" in it as he called it (sorry not a car guy) but it could get up to 140 mph and I had it up to that a few times. Now I'm scared to go faster than 85 mph lol.

Not going to lie, it was helpful with the ladies, even high school girls who shouldn't even envy materialistic things yet.

Oh yeah. My ride from 16 until 21, although mine had a black top. I'm amazed that I'm still alive.

Mechanic: "Do you see that, dipshit!? (pointing under the car)"

Me: "Yeah, it looks like a leaf or something..."

Mechanic (reaches under the driver's seat): "No, it's not a leaf!"

He pulled off a chunk of rusted-out floor pan about the size of a basketball. He then pulled back the carpet inside the cockpit, and the only thing keeping me from falling through was rusted-through metal and the carpet.

LMAO

nice lol.

I pulled so much poon in that 442. Not as much as Radar Chief with his ride, but quite a bit.

Forget about just buying a vehicle. Why not get a new van, home, AND vehicle all in one! Be sure to park it and sleep down by the river. What a deal.

However, in 12 we bought an 11 Buick Regal for 22K. I love that car. The gas mileage isn't as good as it should be, but it is a hell of a car. Depending on what you need to use it for, I'd throw that one in the mix.

They have a clean diesel option available, not sure on dollars, but that looks intriguing.

I really wish I could get away with driving that Regal out on the farm.

Turbo? Ecotec?


I almost bought a 14turbo gs. Real close

Is my concern for the expense of repairing German cars (Volkswagen) justified?

My beauty was a 1985 Chevy Cavalier hatchback with a 2.0L, manual trans, and a nice rumble/vibration that made all the women wet.... Kinda like this only blue...

Your concern with VW should be the timing chains. Seems they go out at least every 100,000 miles and they gotta pretty much drop the whole front clip to change it. When you run out of warranty, they aren't cheap to replace.

Other than that, not too many big issues, but yeah all the parts are more expensive like any other German car. I used to work at a VW dealership. My bud also worked as a mechanic at a VW dealer.

If you go TDI you have to get that AdBlue shit added often enough, like every 12,000 miles or something.
