Yugos rule man! You can't kill the things! I had a friend that had one and she abused the hell out of it. All you need for roadside repairs is a hammer to randomly bang on things.

Hopefully I'll be able to find one in 8 years when it's time for my first's first car.

I thought you liked the boy?

Why don't you put your slippers on, run next door and ask my son what his first car was?

Here's a couple of pics you cheap bastard - no pressure:

The only way I'm buying on of those will be if it has a Pasha interior :P

And actually I expect I will have a 944 or 928 at some point

It's just so much more fun if you get one of each.

Same as W220, only more expensive and even more complicated. My associate had s63, his average monthly repair bill was about $1,500. He paid $85k for it used with 40k miles.

Oh OK you're talking about the AMG models. I knew the 220 500 was kind of a dumpster fire with the suspension but I thought the 221 550 was supposed to be pretty stout.

W221 had the same suspension. Ironically, video about s550 carmax fail exists.
