    The 92 accord. It’s barely broke in.
    Edit: window says it’s a 91 and it’s only $1750 so either way I’m going for the accord.

  2. Turbulent_Gene_7567

    Definately the Caddy. Nothing else materializes failed dreams like an old luxury car that is behind on maintainance.

  3. Temporary_Ad_6673

    That Scion XB is the most bulletproof car on the list

  4. phil_parranda

    Is the startup called “los pollos hermanos”? If so in that alternative Universe of Breaking Bad i would choose a white Aztec.

  5. TheyStoleMyNameAgain

    That’s oddly specific. Is the Volvo girl nice? Add some more stains on the backseat and pay in starbucks

  6. AshlandPone

    Cutlass. But if someone gets it before me, my second choice is the aztec.

  7. SweetTooth275

    Pff, i take the cheapest one get my shit in it and drive as far as I can from that god forsaken state

  8. QuestingNPC

    Aztec because how can it get worse! Plus you can live in it!

  9. Lower_Kick268

    Cadillac for sure, mostly because I’ve always wanted one though

  10. MikeCromms

    The Ford Escape has the same engine as the Ford Ranger had and the engine was indestructible. The Toyota, or Honda/Acura SUV would be a good option.

  11. Ok_Annual_684

    Give me that scion xB , or the Honda accord

  12. mastajor

    Matrix. I had 2 Pontiac Vibes (basically same car) and they have been life savers at the time. Can’t go wrong with a Matrix

  13. truckinfarmer379

    F150. Put a bit of money into cleaning up the inside, then it’ll be a good truck for the time being

  14. 2ndOfficerCHL

    The Cutlass. They were comfortable inside, and your engine choices were a Pontiac Iron Duke or the 3.3 V6 which was a debored, destroked Buick 3.8. Neither were sporty, but both were durable. 

  15. poopoomergency4

    well the smart choice is probably the buick. so i’ll go for the volvo

  16. Does the Buick have the 3800? That’s your choice if it does.

  17. False-Application-99

    The Buick century with the 3800 engine. That V6 is the thing of Legends.

  18. smoores02

    Probably a beat up e46. Not a smart decision but I never claimed to be smart.

  19. A-Rice-Bowl

    Volvo for sure. Half of these I’d rather kms than have to drive, let alone own.

    Hard pass on the Ford Escape hybrid. The battery will need to be replaced soon. If you can find 1 (likely), then it will cost more than the asking price. Also pass on t he Golf, because Volkswagen.
    I like the cheap-ass Cutlass Ciera, as long as it doesn’t have the Iron Puke
    2nd choice is the Aztek, if you can stand to be see in it, or like to be ironic. Ugliness aside, it’s actually pretty practical. & cheap.
    Taurus doesn’t sound bad.
    Caddy but only if you plan an LS swap.

    Only ONE failed startup? Do you even California bro?
