Best: ‘93 Subaru Legacy LSi wagon. Bought it dirt cheap and it was reliable, easy to work on, and it literally saved my life at least once in winter weather.

I’m waiting for the special edition “Pale Horse” Demon. White on white.

You had me at “gold over biscuit”.

Haha, true. BUT my mother had an ‘80 Fairmont wagon with a straight six and a four-speed, and it’s what I first learned to drive stick on. That was a challenge. I remember the dash shaking like hell while my skinny 14-year-old left leg tried to find some non-existent sweet spot.

Important points:

If I had a giant collection of Saleens already, I would need this. But I can’t think of many other reasons to spend that much on it. For maybe 4-5k I’d bite.

That’s not really a hell of a lot of money to spend on anything, car-wise. Like most of y’all, I’m appreciating anything that’s cool and semi-old and pretty well-preserved. Let’s do this, NP style.

Yup, NP. I’m personally not much of a convertible guy (even in weird forms like this), but I think this rig has that much value in it when you factor in both fun and pseudo-collectibility.

I would still daily drive that.

I just saw a VR wagon sitting on a used car lot this weekend! I honestly didn’t even recall that they made a wagon version of it.

I had an ‘88 in college, and honestly that was a damn good car (for the era). 2.5 4 cyl. actually had some guts and the thing was kind of bulletproof. It was at 207,000 mi. when I traded it in.

There’s one of these on my local craigslist for 10k. I keep going back and looking at the ad. I don’t know why. I shouldn’t care about this car.

It looks cool, like in the kind of way where you’d take it to your local parking lot car show. Not much of a tow rig though. Price isn’t terrible, but barely a CP.

This is tempting to investigate. There’s something appealing about these, even though I’m really a V8 guy at heart. It’s the new SVO, and what could be bad about that?

Late to the party here, but this is easy: 1991 Chevy Lumina Z34 (that belonged to my wife when we were first dating). Initially it seemed almost cool in a ‘90s way (this was in the ‘90s, so...), but it proved to be the most unreliable piece of crap. The only thing you could count on with that car was that it would…

That’s hot. Makes my VW Sportwagen jealous.

Totally thought this when I saw that pic. Very TL. Not that that’s a bad thing.
