In reply to VolvoHeretic :
I liked their looks fine. For a few years they were reliably the college student car most likely to pass me on 101 doing 80+. There are probably a few more still around than Vegas which would rust into nothing. My buddy had one, the wagon, that you could get into using a coat hanger past the door rubber in ten seconds, it's too long of a story though. And the gas tank fix wasn't hard to do I am told, or you could just put in a cell. My roommate's Pinto, though, would die if the rain was too heavy, that was a bummer.
