subaru brat wheels : Low Points: None. It was a great car.High Points: Loooove driving cheerleaders and homecoming queensaround...mostly cheerleaders, though .1970 Oldsmobile Delta 88: Loving known as the Millenium Falcon; itcould go anywhere any time faster than anything around it, and it wasgreat at avoiding Imperial entanglements. 455 H.O. motor, 4:12 rearendgears. It could pass everything but a gas station.Low Points: Had to fill the tank every single time you drove the car -the car would not make it to it's destination and back if it didn'thave a full tank of gas. Also, the radiator had to be filled everytime the gas tank was filled. No leaks, just some strange watervampire.High Points: I could stretch out all the way across the back seat ofthe car comfortably, and I was in high school, and I hung out with thecheerleaders and drama chicks...you do the math.1978 Subaru Brat: In all fairness, I did my best to destroy thisvehicle. It was a good car, and it only ever let me down once. But itwas truly one of the most butt-ugly vehicles ever produced besides theold Saabs...obviously, Pontiac took a page from the Subaru Brat manualwhen it designed the Ass-tek.
subaru brat wheels : High Points: Unflaggingly loyal through repeated jumping, fourcomplete rolls, and general off-road silliness spanning a minorportion of my Senior year in High School.Low Points: After all that abuse, the front suspension abandoned shipwhen I drove the car over a speed bump at about a mile an hour. And itwas ugly. Really ugly.1978 VW Scirroco: Attempted to kill me by releasing the steering wheelwhile executing a fairly sharp turn.High Points: ...Low Points: Mean spirited car bent on self-destruction. It had issues.1985 VW Cabriolet: Cute car, drove everywhere, never had a complaint.High Points: Girls loved it.Low Points: Salvaged vehicle assembled from two wrecked Cabriolets.Car broke in half.1982 VW Scirroco: Really nice car, fairly quick, impossible to see outof, power everything.High Points: Rusted really slowly.Low Points: Only started when it wanted to. Apparently the electricalsystem thought it belonged in an English car.1985 Ferrari 308 GTSi: Temperamental, bitchy, thin aluminum, crappyelectrical system, over-priced hunk of doo doo.High Points: I could pick up any girl in Newport Beach anywhere,anytime.Low Points: I couldn't always get the car to take the girl all the wayhome.
subaru brat wheels : 1990 Jeep Wrangler: This was a pretty cool car. The only thing thatreally annoyed me about it was that it was constantly attempting tomove my kidneys to another part of my body over every singleimperfection in the road.High Points: Chicks dug it.Low Points: Top came off at 75 mph in the middle of the night in thedesert on highway 111. Heater stopped working within 10 minutes of thetop removing itself.1983 Mustang GT: In all fairness, this was probably the fault of Ford,not the car itself. It didn't start. And once it was going, it wouldjust stop. If you made sharp turns, it would stop. If you drove on thefreeway, it would stop. If you were attempting to cross andintersection with heavy traffic in both directions, it would stop.Ford attempted to fix this car for a year. They finally gave up.High Points: Gave me remarkably fast reflexes.Low Points: Overworked my heart.1986 Mustang GT: This car had issues. If you turned the fog lights on,after awhile the headlights would turn off. We don't know why. When Iwent to pick it up from Tuttle Click Ford after purchase, they had(the previous day) backed into it, denting the rear quarter panel andbending the axle. They then attempted to bondo the damage, put on anew set of wheels, and paint the body. The bondo never fully dried,the paint looked like orange peel, and the wheels were pretty cool.They attempted to fix the body twice. After that, they had to replacethe radiator, which they did, but they forgot to bolt down the hoodlatch, which decided to release the hood while I was driving down thefreeway. They fixed this. I gave up on them.
subaru brat wheels : High Points: The car didn't kill me.Low Points: Tuttle Click Ford Service Center.1999 Corvette Convertible: Only owned this car for a month. But it wasinsanely fast, remarkably agile, stuck to the road like glue, and agorgeous blue color. Once the car warmed up, it would stop and notrestart. It would get towed to the dealership, where it would startright away. This happened a number of times. Returned car.High Points: Truly a bitchin' car. I highly recommend picking one up.Makes a great girl's car.Low Points: It didn't like me.1982 Suzuki Samurai (SJ10), 1986 Suzuki Samurai, 1987 Suzuki Samurai,1988 Suzuki Samurai, et al: These are absolutely the greatest rockcrawling rigs out there. They can crawl over, around and probablyunder just about any obstacle out there. Start every time, run well,get good gas mileage, etc. That whole thing about them tipping over isincorrect; they can turn around on slopes where other trucks can't,and they and very, very nimble.High Points: Great fun to off-road.Low Points: You can count the horsepower with the fingers of one hand.Driving the cars in traffic or around big rigs requires balls oftitanium.
subaru brat wheels : 1994 AM General Hummer Open Top: Electrical system didn't work right.The truck developed it's own atmosphere, and while the front of thetruck would be dry and hot, the back would be wet and sticky, andvice-versa. The truck got all of about 10 mpg with diesel, which isn'tall that inexpensive. The power windows only operated during businesshours, refusing to function after dark. The A/C blew - at best -anemically (I so want to say something about the Ex-Thing rightnow...). The door locks didn't. And when you came to a stop, it rockedback and forth.1982 VW Rabbit Convertible: Cute car, drove everywhere, never had acomplaint.1980 Volvo 264 GLE: The fuel pump would either come off, shriekloudly, or fail repeatedly. The heater would come on. And never, evergo off. The car had a Peugeot 6-cylinder engine, which meant thatevery time you had to get a part, it had to be shipped from France toSweden to America. It was never in stock. Ever.1984 VW Jetta: This car had so many problems it was silly. Tires wentflat at random. Gas poured out. The rear window exploded. The radiocaught on fire. The emergency brake didn't. The lights came on. Thelights went off. The sunroof would only open when it rained...byitself. The windshield wipers would only go one direction...if youpushed the one on the driver's side, they would return. The taillightsfilled with water on sunny days, but remained mysteriously emptyduring the rainy season. The driver's side front wheel attempted tochange lanes without alerting the rest of the car. The trunk madeeverything that was put in it smell like either gas or exhaust fumes.The horn would only work if you used the lower right button...unlessyou were making a left turn, in which case if you stopped turning thewheel at just the right moment the horn would go off byitself...unless you pushed any of the remaining three horn buttons,which would shut the horn off. The key would only work if you put itin one way...and no matter how many times you remembered this, and putthe key in the SAME WAY as you took it out, it would be wrong.
