thnx. apparently it needs a bit more work that I thought, all shocks except for the front left are shot and theres something seriously wrong with the steering (feels like youre grabbing onto a wood chipper in the lack of a better description), havent looked into what it is yet but it certainly looks nice outwards (the car, generally) :}
I can only hope there isnt anything else seriously wrong with it / Can only hope im not buying a polished turd.

Sounds as if the belt in one of the front tires is broken.
The Star Spangled Banner bring hither,
 O're Columbia's true sons let it wave.
May the wreaths they have won never wither,
 Nor it's stars cease to shine on the brave.

Ask and ye shall receive, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI (Turbo diesel)

35/42 mpg, but diesel costs less than gasoline.

That's just an example of one make and model my friend, but the Jetta is a mighty fine car and has won numerous awards lately. I'm still a Toyota man though, Honda being my second choice.  ;)

You have obviously forgotten about the Fiero.

Yup, that was a cool car IMO, know why? They had many car kits that you could buy and install to make it look like an Italian sports car.  :)
