How many of your personal cars ended up in junkyards?
All 3 of my v8 rwd cars (minus the Cuda) got totaled within 2 years of buying them. My 96 caprice lost all oil pressure. So I ripped out the engine and rear end and sold it for scrap. The 95 wagon that replaced it, got t boned hard during the first snow of the year. And just last May, my 09 G8 GT that I had finally gotten fixed (engine and trans rebuilt along with new suspension and replaced the headliner) got rear ended on my way to work. My little 6 speed saab 93 that I replaced the wagon with lasted me 7 years in between the wagon and G8. Fwd, stick, turbo 4, it was fun little car and quite good in the snow. I just seem to not have good luck with rwd v8s and have to settle on cars that are avalible, ie my current daily is an RDX.
