My first true love was a ConQuest TSi. My heart still stops any time I see one, but then my brain reminds me of all the times it broke down. I’ve still never had more fun on 4 wheels.

As a recovering Starion whore, I have to say flat-sided versions are weak sauce

Shoot for the moon today. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the Starions.
