- Burnbomber GM front driver A-bodies. They are the Chevy Celebrity, Pontiac 6000, Oldsmobile Ciera, and Buick Century (5th Generation). These are a derivative from the much maligned Chevrolet Citation, but they got this generation good. My 1st connection was in a daily 80 mile car pool,always riding in the back seat, in a stripper Pontiac 6000. It was a nice ride, quiet and roomy. Then I changed jobs and had a Chevy Celebrity as a company car. They were heavy duty strippers with a better than average GM feel (from F40 heavy-duty suspension option). I bought 2 ex-company cars at auction--one for my family and one for mother-in-law. They were extremely reliable, parts dirt cheap (especially in u-pulls), and simple to work on. It was the most reliable GM I've ever owned; better than my current Chevy Equinox, which will take a miracle to last as long as they did.
- Slavuta Drivers in Bharat are better. Considering that rules are accepted as mere suggestions and a mix of car, bicycle, motorbike, pedestrian at the same place and time, these guys are virtuosos.

- Ava169189168 NO driver, at any age, should get a license without completing a Driver's Ed course.
- Golden2husky My HS friend's family had a Wagoneer. These SUVs, plus the next gen that replaced it, were very much front and center in affluent neighborhoods. They were a tough as an anvil, and about as sophisticated. What this poor truck was put through was a testament to how rugged it was. We needed the "emergency" switch in the glove box on more than one occasion to get moving. Sadly, he flipped it in a parking lot - going fast in reverse and cutting the wheel hard. Tons of tire squealing, then silence. It's over so I thought until we landed on the roof and front of hood. I watched the windshield shatter and we ended up on our side. Stupid things kids will do. The Wagoneer took on a decidedly TR-7 look after the rollover.

Yeah, gotta disagree with the sedan lovers here. It looks no better than someone ricing his Civic to the extreme. Big fugly wing in the back, unnecessary quad tailpipes, and ground effects only it's creator could love. To be honest, the hatchback doesn't look much better, but the shape is much less jarring. I thought that a WRX hatch would be a decent upgrade from my current car, should it get totaled or stolen, but it looks like, if I did upgrade, I can't look at anything newer then the 2010 model, as the steroidal fenders have now found their way onto the lesser WRX from the STi and have ruined what was once an aggressive yet clean design.
Yeah, it's a bit on the ugly side but it's a Subaru. I mean c'mon you guys knew it was gonna be ugly, that's just a given. Oh but gods I want that 5-door so bad.
