Car: POWERR!!! Rep Power: 0  |  I sort of like the Previa. I like how it's mid engined, has middle seats that swivel around, and has two sunroofs.

Car: 1990 Volvo 740 GL LFS Status:  Rep Power: 19  | In a slanted parking lot with other rental cars, one of the best "bad cars" is the Hyundai Accent. They are fun cars to throw around. Mitsubishi Endeavor was a rather nice truck, and I do have to admit I have a spot somewhere for the Pontiac Vibe.

Car: 2004 Honda Civic Coupe 2000 VFR800 Interceptor Rep Power: 121 | I would not go so far as to call it a "bad" car, but, the 1976 Volvo 245 DL - my first car. This one is similar, but mine was green and had the original steel wheels.

Car: '01 Sebring Coupe Rep Power: 0  |  1981 civic.. yea.. i had one.. it was a total piece of crap.. infact it was given to me.. used to haul pigeon feed.. mirror was busted off and replaced with a piece of wood bolted to the door with another mirror tacked onto that.. total pos that only saw field duty.. but i want another one  i also have a love/hate relationship with eagle talon/mitsu eclipse AWDs.. tons of fun when they work.. when they work being the important bit here.. i think i've had about 10.. and have spent more time with them on jackstands than with them on the road.. i'll have another someday.. for a ground up resto project.. I also kinda miss my 1985 ford tempo.. 4cyl and a 5sp.. it had 400,000km on it before it died.. drove like a pig.. handled like a pig.. slow as a snail.. but it was the first car i did 160km/h (100mph) in.. holds a special place in my history.. The beaters are dead.. Long live the beaters! |

Car: Volvo 940 Turbo Rep Power: 23 | Suzuki Samurai The 2nd car I bought with my own money (1st was an '83 Honda Accord hatchback). I drove that little Sammi HARD and it never skipped a beat. Even with mud & snow street tires it would go anywhere off-road I asked it to. Mine was a few years older ('88 ) than this photo with a different grill and had black fender flares instead of white. I wish I never got rid of it.   |
