1986 Buick Regal, came with a 307 (the slowest V8 ever produced!)

But I have to thank that car, otherwise I would have never been exposed to and appreciate the Grand Nationals like I do.

1995 Saturn SC2 5spd coupe here. Good old Plastic body panels, so it had zero dents on it. Paint was actually a nice color (minus the scratches here and there)... it was a black that would turn gold in the right sunlight. I loved it. Bought it for $1700 when I was 17, had a total of 138k miles then. Drove it for 6 or 7 months until around 143k miles when I blew the motor. I don't really miss the car. It was kinda a POS. Driving it home and being a n00b to stick at the time was effing hilarious though!

I have no idea how mine did either. I really drove it hard and it never gave me ANY problems. But, the moment I stopped DD it, it broke a couple months after.

yup 16v recarro seats with the bbs wheels. Dropped some coil-overs,exhaust,short shifter,intake and some 17's always passed smog only problem in eight years was an alternator just sold it last year. great car overall.

---

sounds pretty sick... I want some BBS's on my 84 rabbit hella bad... My old 86 was all original with the recaro buckets & I lowered it with a crappy H&R cup kit, & besides that the only mods were the G60 corrado BBS wheels....Mine was only an 8V though... pretty damn reliable except the fuel pump would conk out when it got over 100 degrees outside....

VW fan here, though I've never owned one. Huge fan of Audi's too. Meant to bug you about your VW last time you cam into my work. I'm thinking about a VR6 Jetta or GTi after my Cobra is gone, but we'll see what I end up with, haha

VR6 GTI's & GLI's are sick, & i also like the 1.8T too.... I wanna do a 1.8T swap in my GTI, but I think a VR6 would be easier & cheaper.... What year are u planning on getting....

Heres a few cool videos of rabbits....

Mid-late 90's probably. Not to familiar with the years to be honest. I just know I want a VR6 because the 1.8 is slower than balls in stock form, and I LOVE how VR6's sound with exhaust. a 1.8 isn't bad, but half the reason I want a VR6 is for the exhaust note, LOL. Not getting it for anything more than just simple bolt ons and a fun DD. Going to keep the SHO, and if either car get's anything substantial, it'll be the SHO receiving a Turbo.

And yes, I did just say that. Haha

A VR6 would be your best bet IMO, but i love the 89-93 body style the best, which was before the Vr6....

I dont care what anyone says...These are badass IMO....

That Jetta is sick! I'd rock that. Was looking at a red VR6 Jetta, but now that my Cobra is sold, it's conveniently off Craigslist. I did just find this one though:
