:impressive: that the Cav ranks above the likes of the R32. Not surprised your Miata is at the bottom, mine was near there too. I love Miatas, they’re so much fun, but we both had kind of a rough ownershit experience with them.
I loved my Cavalier. It was my first car, dead reliable except the sunroof leaking in the rain. I loved the seating position, back then I though the car was a blast. Id bet today its terrible. But from my 18 year old eyes it was great. Great AC, full soundsystem, decent on gas. It was an all around fun car. Even today I think the Z24 looks okay and I wouldnt be against getting another for a crap daily driver.

Also I said based on how the R32 turns out over driving it and time I will dictate where it ends up. At the moment the small seat and lack of AC make the car less enjoyable than anticipated. But still fun and exceptionally capable.
Yep, my Civic was high on my list for similar reasons, I'm sure now I'd be like "wow this is a turd".

Thankfully the weather should cool down soon.

Floodrolla gave us three years of NFG motoring, survived 9" of water on the inside, and was :notbad: to drive.
GTI was a great car, and the people I met while having it really makes it where it is, but it was a PITA at the end due to tuning issues, and was more expensive to maintain that I was willing to pay at the time.

While not a particularly great vehicle by design, the 2001 Ford Explorer XLT I had was, and shall always be held in the highest regard.
It was the vehicle I had during the worst of the worst of my drug days, and it never let me down. I drove it drunk, high, nodding off, all of the above, and somehow it got me home safe everytime. I drove it all over the country, from Texas, to North Carolina, even to Washington D.C and it never missed a beat. I did the nasty in it, I snorted coke off the center console, and smoked it out more times than I care to count, but it never ever left me stranded. It even waited for me while I was in rehab, for two months, and it started immediately after sitting for so long.

Because of that, it will always be near the top of my list of favorites.

I built it one piece at a time
Gonna spend me some dime
Well the engine is from an 89
The gauge cluster was restored just fine
The seats came from a place online
The transmission shifts just fine
The brakes are from an 88
And the windshield is new mate
The rear end was from Baltimore
There's sound deadening in every door
The springs are from tire rack
The custom exhaust makes noise out back
The radiator and hoses are all new
The coolant, well that's BMW blue
I built it one piece at a time
Gonna spend me some dime
But I'll have the only one in town!

So many deets. I should do up a better list and include the :butwhy: for each one.


Edit:
I still love my 1990 240SX the most, learned to wrench on it, drove it four actual seasons, which taught me how to handle a rwd car in snow (el-drifto). Light, fun, could fit four people in a pinch, memories of drive-ins (etc) with girl friends, autox it with a buddy who owned an 84 Fiero, I sucked but fun times were had.., and the thing was ridiculously reliable and nicer inside and outside then many modern day offerings and way better then the :poorvette: which was manufactured fifteen years later. It had three pedals with good steering, brake and clutch feedback and 140hp on donkey piss that back then cost me less then half of what it costs now. It was essentially a Toyota 86 of its day. It needed a LSD and a turbo kit but it got written off by a BMW douchebro before I could afford the upgrade. Got almost all of my money back from insurance buy out, I wasn't in the car when it got hit... fond night, crappy morning.

Next in line, hmm.

17 :gorf: , hands down a very practical, well appointed, and quick vehicle that handled the first 50k miles like a champ. Service is good, the car just never fails at anything thrown at it by moi. The DSG propels it into the next price category of performance with very little to sacrifice. New dishwasher, just pull the car seats and cheerios residue and slide the bitch in. Premium fuel is a bummer, everything else is :tits:

05 C6, manual, zero depreciation, very analog. The clutch was decently communicative, steering was good, the car felt tight to a point, and the noises from the catback were :jizz: . It was also a wicked experience to drive around roof down, with the performance of a motorcycle but the safety of a car. It had terrible weight distribution, corvettes going mid-engine are the right move IMO.. and it is primarily why it gets knocked down below the Gorf, plus it really isn't reliable or practical as an only car mainly because it isn't a convertible, no back seats, and only usable three seasons.

12 Golf TDI. Loaded/actual leather/900km per fill at donkey piss pricing or slightly above in the winter. The car had a DSG (which didn't work well with the very brake heavy engine), got a stage 1 APR t00n, and Koni yellows + DG Springs. I set the shocks to quite soft and the car rode like a MF champ. VMR810 18" wheels. This car was a corporate usage vehicle, it made me money for 100k and sold back to VW for 50% of a :gorf: pre tax and fees. I need to do something like this again soon, maybe even get another TDI and since we dont do emissions testing anymore just gut out the cats/piss/etc.

2002 Dodge Durango, I get the :jeep: , this thing was kind of like it with fat mudders on it. I mean I could hop curbs and islands in any mall instead of weave in and out of actual designated "lanes". It was black on tan leather and had the 5.9 :dedong: fill ups were $100/canuckians every four days.

04 Acura TL, this bitch has had two repairs since 2005, a leaky steering fluid hose which I fixed with my dad (mom still drives it now).

Everything after these cars listed above is downright depressing, with the 2010 Mazda Protege and 2007 Dodge Caliber being the absolute rock bottom in my car ownership experience. They both had a few great attributes but were a true fail. The 1987 Nissan Sentra I drove first was better than both.

The DSG propels it into the next price category of performance with very little to sacrifice. New dishwasher, just pull the car seats and cheerios residue and slide the bitch in. Premium fuel is a bummer, everything else is :tits:

05 C6, manual, zero depreciation, very analog. The clutch was decently communicative, steering was good, the car felt tight to a point, and the noises from the catback were :jizz: . It was also a wicked experience to drive around roof down, with the performance of a motorcycle but the safety of a car. It had terrible weight distribution, corvettes going mid-engine are the right move IMO.. and it is primarily why it gets knocked down below the Gorf, plus it really isn't reliable or practical as an only car mainly because it isn't a convertible, no back seats, and only usable three seasons.

12 Golf TDI. Loaded/actual leather/900km per fill at donkey piss pricing or slightly above in the winter. The car had a DSG (which didn't work well with the very brake heavy engine), got a stage 1 APR t00n, and Koni yellows + DG Springs. I set the shocks to quite soft and the car rode like a MF champ. VMR810 18" wheels. This car was a corporate usage vehicle, it made me money for 100k and sold back to VW for 50% of a :gorf: pre tax and fees. I need to do something like this again soon, maybe even get another TDI and since we dont do emissions testing anymore just gut out the cats/piss/etc.

2002 Dodge Durango, I get the :jeep: , this thing was kind of like it with fat mudders on it. I mean I could hop curbs and islands in any mall instead of weave in and out of actual designated "lanes". It was black on tan leather and had the 5.9 :dedong: fill ups were $100/canuckians every four days.

04 Acura TL, this bitch has had two repairs since 2005, a leaky steering fluid hose which I fixed with my dad (mom still drives it now).

Everything after these cars listed above is downright depressing, with the 2010 Mazda Protege and 2007 Dodge Caliber being the absolute rock bottom in my car ownership experience. They both had a few great attributes but were a true fail. The 1987 Nissan Sentra I drove first was better than both.
:nice: write up!

:butwhy: is 50/50 weight distribution bad?
