My ex crashed one of those once while I was riding shotgun. Be careful once you get them sideways. The big a** keeps rotating once it starts!

Re: I bought my first grown up car.
nice, I like the wagons. I saw a sedan on craigs for $1000 with blown turbo seals. I was thinking of flipping it but meh, I probably woulda kept it and I shouldn't.
