Subaru & Nissan cars also get great gas mileage (Our '96 Nissan Sentra GXE, which has about 318,000 still gets an average 37 miles per gallon-Which is great considering Deb puts 500 miles a week on the odometer commuting). Like my Mom said, "Drive it til it is absolutely blown up and cannot be repaired", which is what we do to our Nissan.
Still wished I would have kept my '79 Subaru BRAT, but that's alright, In the future I am planning on purchasing a Subaru Baja (Which is the BRAT with a new name).
My older brother owns a Shelby Dodge Avenger, which is a beautiful car. He even had Carroll Shelby (Creator of the 427 Shelby Cobra & the designer of the Ford Mustang) sign the dashboard. Only about 800 were made.
My parents, God bless 'em both, were muscles cars enthusiasts:
Mom owned a '76 Pontiac Trans Am & '68 Camaro SS.
Dad owned a '69 GTO Judge convertible & a '62 Malibu Stationwagon
