"A large tuna boat of a car that is fun to drive with low running costs"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Passenger f/ tire went bad at 170,000.

Positive battery terminal striped from vibration. (This was a problem from the beginning and after 5,000 miles it finally would not tighten at all).

Starter solenoid went at 178,000.

General comments?

First off I bought this car for $600.00 and have put close to 20,000 miles on it with a total repair cost of around $150.00. I think that over all it has been a good car considering that it was not in the best shape when I got it.

Gas millage is poor to say the best, around 13 miles per gal city.

Performance is not as bad as I expected for a car of this size with a small v8. although with the right conditions it will smoke the tires and the other night I did beat a Volkswagen passat in a little street racing action.

He he he! The Perisienne is a very nice boat is it not? I had one and there was a dent on every panel on the car, it still ran like a dream! VERY nice...! But, do you know how to pronounce the name?

It's pronounced "Pareezy-en"
