she has pulled out of the ditch many a time. when our shitty porsche died, she was there and when my beautiful VY burned up she was there.  Yeah for Holly.
i would recommend a vn to everyone as they are reliable, easy to fix and have proved their staying power.

Pros — she is always there
Cons — she rattles

Stanley was my 1st car

Stanley was a reliable friend who took a beating (one big accident and one little one) from me on my P plates.

He finally gave up the ghost when I fell asleep behind the wheel just south of the Hawkesbury river on the old Pacific hwy and smashed into the side of a mountain.

Can't go past the red car with red wheels look.............foolly!!!!!!!

I would like to get another VL but Karena always says no funnily enough

Pros — Red ones go faster
Cons — He wasn't invincible

I probably would have never bought a vl, because I don't like the impression that comes with them, but she's a hand-me-down from Dave. This car is the best $1000 I've ever spent, the torque in it is amazing for a 20 year old car, and the steering is super light. My only complaint is the amount of fuel I go through and the mysterious noise coming from the muffler. I also love the exhaust on this car, everyone knows when I've arrived, hee hee.

Pros — tourquey, good handling
Cons — petrol guzzler

Pros — Looks awesome
