I liked my Eclipse because it accelerated REALLY fast, cornered great and had all wheel drive. It got to the point where it cost around $500-$700 every time I had it in the shop, and it was in the shop 2 or 3 times a year. It also ate PREMIUM gasoline at about 23 MPG. I have a Saturn now, which is an OK hoopdie, but I guess all I need is transportation.

My all time favorite car was a 1976 Honda Civic CVCC. It was a 5-speed with wood grain shift knob, steering wheel and dashboard bits. It got over 50 MPG. The car went from California to Texas, and Texas to New York, and to Illinois. I sold it before I went to England, and about a week later got a call from someone who said they'd passed it on the side of the road, burning fiercely. I felt bad for the people I sold it to, but I felt worse for that poor car I'd loved, that had been part of many wonderful memories, from tooling around Austin streets at night to watching the dry summer miles wind away serenaded by the road rocking away under my wheels... and 'Sultans of Swing' on the radio. Poor dead car...
