Well don’t buy a 1981 Pontiac Phoenix (for a lot of reasons :-).

Actually it was a fairly good car. I got 220k miles out of it until the clutch gave out again and I decided to use the motor in a jeep. Those Iron Duke 4 cylinders last forever.

The worst car I ever had was a 198? Chrysler Lebaron. That thing fell to pieces before 100K.
