This 1970 Volvo 142s. [hartford.craigslist.org]

the car has xxx,xxx miles on it but the odometer broke so it actually has (xxx,xxx+2,000) miles on it.

I am pretty sure this would be posted to the comments here eventually.

Should have had a Thunder Muscle

Agreed all people should learn to drive with a manual but not one with +500hp.

The WORST car for a new driver: Lamborghini Gallardo Balboni

Subaru WRX STi

Over several days/weeks tell her all about the car. Bring her to the dealership/the seller of the car and bring her on a test drive or at least let her see you go on one and how happy you are.

I would rather get this volvo:

it will explode it given enough time :)

*4 wheels and 1 cylinder

I think no one mentioned it because it is certainly not forgotten. Just consider how often it is mentioned on Jalopnik and how many videogames it is in. Not to mention it was featured on TopGear not all that long ago.

just had to add this picture too
