Semi OT: Car confusion

[scirocco81 at vwmail.net (Eric S)]

ROFL!

Who ever said I was a nice guy?

Cynicism runs in my blood...can I help it? NO!  Can I unleash it on unsuspecting victims? YES!

;-)

Really, I'm not out to be an a-hole.  Just throwing out the truth here...thats all! ;-) (plus, I wouldn't want to challenge Josh's title) LOLOL

didn't you used to be a nice guy? ;) 
you're mean now, like evil eric. it scares me.
as for autox-ing, yes, dump the cutlass. reliability will always be an
issue in a 15 yr old car. at least until you work on it and replace the
neglected parts. if you want cheap, reliability and ability to auto-x,
maybe a miata or (shudder) civic?
of course, i still say go vw.
