This car will not die!, I have been driving this car for quite some time now and I love it to death. I will admit this car is cheaply made and doesn't have great amenities like other ones, but it is my little army tank! I have driven it through farmers fields, hit many curbs many times, ran through a fence with it, rear ended a truck, backed into many things, and drove it through puddles over a foot deep. I've hit the ditch and just been very rough with it. It starts on the coldest days in winter and never over heats. This car has never let me down. It is small and has squeaked by in many dangerous situations... It may be small but I've never gotten it stuck. My friends all think its the best car in the world because I can drive it so rough and horribly and never be afraid its going to die on me.
LOL, I know how you feel.
Just a word of warning. Don't let your friends drive. I let a buddy drive my 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera and he managed to kill it. I think it's a head gasket that's blown, but I've ramped ditches, hit patches of black ice at around 80 MPH (not fun on the highway!), hit a truck with a lift kit that put a hole in the left rear bumper, and I have ramped it, so it's done pretty good for a $250 car, and now my play car is down, my normal car (2000 Ford Focus) won't start either :@ (I don't know what he did, but he did it hard in the Olds. Thank god he's paying for it }:@>
