My roommate has one of these in an early ‘90s F150. We abused the heck out of his and that thing took it like a champ. I also learned how to find Top Dead Center by sticking a ratchet handle in the spark plug hole on one of these.

Considering that I almost bought a clean 5 speed ‘91 for $3500, instant CP. The interior made it even worse.
Instant NP. A clean, maintained SVX is super rare. It seems that all of the issues of the car (transmission and wheel bearings) have been taken care of. One of my dream cars is one of these with a 5 speed swap.
Every time I drive her somewhere (which doesn’t happen very often, you’ll see why). My mom never learned how to drive stick so the concept of the manual transmission is basically witchcraft to her. I should also add that my car has solid mounts and bushings and a decent exhaust leak so it’s kind of loud and vibrates.
That’s an easy NP. But these can have electrical problems. A kid I used to work with a 5 speed regular turbo wagon similar to this and it was a nightmare. The alarm system kept tripping and going off. Fun little car though.
Matt Farah drove one of these for his One Takes. These don’t look terrible lowered.
As a diehard Subaru fan, this one comes to mind.
It made me so happy to see MK3s in this. We had an ‘87 at my tech school. We never got it running but it definitely sparked my desire to have one.
This has been on Craigslist for far too long and I am so happy that there is a relevant post for this.
Props to posting Foxy Shazam. That band is criminally underrated.
One of these decked out with radar and lights. Very confusing.
This: my first car (1997 Oldsmobile Bravada). It’s the car I learned to wrench on, drift in, and off road in. The AC didn’t work and it got terrible gas mileage but I loved it. I paid for it completely myself which was a big deal. If I hadn’t blown the motor I would still have had it. It wasn’t anything special but I…
So about an hour into my 2 and a half hour drive from college to my house, I noticed a rumbling noise coming from my front end and that my steering wheel was shaking. I pulled over and it quickly became apparent that something was wrong with my front left wheel. I should also note that it was raining (important). Of…
God I love Formula Derp. If you’re into drifting you need to follow them on Instagram.
Not an MR2 expert (the username should make it obvious), but CP wayyy to much especially because of these:
No, because I don’t want to cause an accident/spectacle myself.
TLDR; of course it’s fake and you’ll probably see it shared on Facebook by your weird Republican friend in the next couple weeks.

This is likely to happen and not totally irrational but I have this fear that I’m going to blow my Outback’s motor. Granted I’ve blown motors before, but still. This has gotten to the point that I check my oil and coolant regularly and spend my time expecting a rod to go through the block.
Behold: the mythical Subaru Ring of Fire. As someone who worked as a mechanic, this made working on an already hot car even worse.
