My old car + my new car! (56k might suffer)
I had a '83 ford laser, POS for short.
Here's a pic  3 door hatchback... 1.3liter.....  Inside...   Traveled far! (Km)  now, two wednesdays ago, I was driving this POS down to uni (50km trip) like I normally do (once a week I drive), and I lost compression, I thought it was weird, and I started losing speed. This affected my trip severly, so my "expert" Dad had a look, thought it was the spark plugs, so I replaced them, but it didn't fix the problem, then he decided it might be a burst valve, so I took it to the mechanic for a pressure test, and he confirmed it was valved number 3 had burst, and it acted like cancer, it spread to the entire engine, the head crank cracked, the manifold started cracking etc, and i was leaking oil, and petrol fast. So, he said I'm up for a new engine, as this one's about to cave in... .............So I bought this     1996 Holden Commodore Executive VS, 3.8liter V6 2nd hand (obviously), done 187k's, which is alright, high but OK.  Picked it up for 8k, plus I got tint on it. It doesn't have a CD player, but it has a pretty good speaker system, so I have a tape jack to a cd-walkman. -Davo out. (sorry TS)

Go the VS!
Now all you need to do is get some SS rims, lower it, supercharge the 3.8 and get a minispool! good times
