I think it'd be good to hone up on my automechanical skills and maybe make some sort of Mad Max vehicle out of it...

They should have included the 1981 Cadillac Seville. It was available with three very exciting engine choices- the unreliable and underpowered V8-6-4, the unreliable, underpowered, and noisy Olds 5.7 Diesel, and the brand new, next-generation, unreliable and underpowered "4100" V8! As a bonus, it was fugly.

And I've said it a million times on CF, but i don't think i've said it here yet- when I was shopping small cars in 2001, I bought a Neon- it had far more features for the money than the Civic, and felt like a luxury car next to the Sentra. Except for recurring problems with the sunroof (shouldn't have let the stealership talk us into taking a sunroof car), it did just fine for 80k until it got caught in a flooded street. We'd probably still have it otherwise.
