My Grand AM.
Things I love:
4 doors
Comfy short/long trips.
Feels good on bumpy roads fast or slow.
Takes corners like a sports car.
Easy to do what you want it to do (becomes an extension of myself)
Doesnt need to be plugged in the winter.(tried it 4 times in 4 years) always starts.
Has lots of room for sex!
(ill add more later)
Things I hate:
The 4th or 5th "Horn" replaced. Last one broke too used it once.
When it was new the abs didnt break in for 50,000 kms.
The engine temperature soars (hence the speed holes in ma hood)
Reverse backup lights fill with water and burn out looks shit.
Headlamps were made for city driving only (faded looks shit)
AUTOMATIC

SPRINT!
FIREFLY!
SWIFT!
Oh yes. I've owned new cars, but these are the ones I always drive.
300+KM's on each one, and they run perfectly still :) Love'um.
Very peppy, awesome on gas. Take A TON of abuse. Fast (well, the turbo Swift is).
The secrets out!
Awesome winter vehicles. The only downside sometimes is the trannies are weak sometimes. |

plugging it in when its gets really cold is alot easier on it then not plugging it in, If you can plug it in like a place where you dont have to pay power like at work or something.
P.s. the hazziness of your headlights can be removed with some "Mothers Mag & Aluminum" polish. Buff the shit out of them with a cloth. |

93 Swift Gs 1.3L MTX
Pros:
Quick for what it was, could take almost anything off the line(rest of this is under cons)
Great on fuel... buddy before me used it for off roading and everything was still fine.
Reliable - only had 1 probably with it when got a tank of bad gas and the tank froze and blew the fuel pump fuse.
Cons:
Quick off line got got spanked in the 1/4.
Valve seals went, was great for freaking out punks though(rev it at a light or slowing down for a light and have a blue oil cloud waft over and freak out punks who now think they broke their car.
2002 Neon LE MTX
Pro's
Decent on fuel
Some what quick considering it wieghs like 2800lbs
Took a licken and came back for more.
Con's
only decent on fuel
In my 3yrs of owner ship i drove it hard and went through 4 lower control arms(torn bushings) and 1 CV... mind you I was doing tight figure 8s in a parking lot doing 40-50+ to show the dealership the clunking. |

I don't have much to say for/about my car except:
1) It does what it was designed to do, is supposed to do and does it well.
2) I wouldn't recommend it to a friend because not many people would want such a high maintenance, gas guzzling, unpractical car. |

2 rotars are always better then 1:)
ive had my accord for about 6 months, so my opinion doesnt really count yet but here goes...
Pros
good on gas
ability to bottom out and survive to do it again
good body for its age
good engine for its age
Cons
muffler broke off
exhaust pipe leading to the muffler broke off(from bottoming out)
it stalled once(at the worst time too)
its loud
it doesnt burn alot of oil(i want it to puff out blue smoke...)
refuses to drink oil
AUTOMATIC
the thief who never looks through the window to see the club in place, atleast steal something
steerings a bit boring
bad color
sounds like a ricer
it has alot of problems, maybe i should send it in to the junkyard, but i love it too much |

Polish dont work I tried tons I gotta resand them then and polish. Thing is they are worth almost $700 a pair they should last alot longer than that.
As for pluggin it hasnt hurt it yet and it starts every time. |

'87 Thunderbird TurboCoupe
Pros: It's a torque monster,
It pulls just as good at 19yo as it did when new,
RWD,
5-spd,
Extreme comfort with great lateral support,
Parts are a dime a dozen (picked up a spare block and head for $50),
More stable at 150-215 than at 120,
Easy to mod,
PRC suspension (also a con),
Hooks up like a tank,
I fill my tank once a week, where the V8's I cruise with need to every trip,
Bulletproof 8.8" Posi,
Power everything and styling I think won't fade,
Going on 250k on a heavily boosted motor.
Cons: It breaks down a lot,
Leaks oil (but doesn't burn a drop),
SOHC,
Tiny turbo & downpipe (soon won't be an issue),
Cat sucks power,
Trying to explain to the parts guy that, yes, Ford did make a 4-pot Thunderbird, and no, the V6 or V8 model parts won't cut it,
Specialty parts are impossible to find and expensive (PRC Shocks, 4W-disks with ABS),
Mustang quad-shock setup,
No full boost in 3rd,4th, or 5th (stupid Ford),
No one knows what the hell it is, so they laugh at the 'riced out' stock T-bird :rolleyes:
Hydraulic clutch is a workout,
Heavy, but not for a T-bird,
Overpayed for it when I first got it. |

Always the Love.
I've owned 10 civic/crx's.
I currently have 2 EG's, and 2 CRX's.
I've driven/owned other cars ... but .. I can't help the love of that pesky ecobox that started the import fad in north america. |

if you red lined it in first you should be able to pop it into second and make it go pretty fast(acceleration wise), i did with my accord and i dont consider it 'slow' |

Just because the damage isnt apperant does not mean it doesnt exist. Mostly prematrure engine wear, I dont see why you would want that. |
