Yeah, I'll admit that the Neons are POS cars, but then, when I have to put 50-100 miles on my car on a _daily_ basis and gas is $3 a gallon, I prefer driving the Neon. It's the Expresso model -- manual transmision DOHC that gets 35-40 mpg. It's quick, has had minimal problems in the 207,000 miles I've put on it, and until this month, was reliable. Plus, as was mentioned, it's "disposable" -- I'd rather beat the shit out of a Neon (or any other bland car) as a daily driver for the long haul than my "baby." :) pax >> >> From: AMC74HORNET@xxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Re: Re: Finally I can get into the garage! Unfortunately Bart if AMC was still in business they would be forced to build a POS like the Neon to compete with the big 3 and the ricer's to survive. I'll keep my old real cars thank you. Don't hit me Bart but even my 77 Malibu which is my snow and salt winter beater. Due to my poor health I just paid 225$ for some brake repairs and a new starter for it. Like I say when I talk Malibu winter is around the corner. I have spent around 1,900$ on the Malibu including the 350$ purchase price in the last 9 years. Not a bad deal in my opinion. I'd keep the good running POS forever as a beater but the body is starting to fall off around it. "Doc" "I love deadlines.
