Lol the state does pay for me, which is why I only gotta pay $1200.

That is indeed very true, about the opinion thing.

But American cars being crap for long-term investments is generally not an opinion, but fact.

so great news... just got back from looking at the car... dad says we can go for it. There's some 17 year old punk kid that says he's coming Friday w/ money to buy it from the guy but the guy says he'd rather sell it to me. Knows I'll take care of it, not beat it up or try to be hot **** in it. So if all goes as planned I'll have the car Friday or Saturday... and be able to get some pics up.

I say they are crap reliability-wise. Generally speaking, American cars are built for power and comfort, not for durability. If I had my choice, I'd drive a mitsubishi to work and back and an old-school muscle car on the weekends. Alas, I somewhat combined the two and drive a mitsubishi sports car.

Then maybe you take extra good care of it. Maybe it's not the general car I am takling about. Maybe it's a fluke. How should I know? Lol.
