Primary Use: Family transportation

Pros: Fast, looks nice for summer driving, fun to drive.

Blah. — I give this one some points considering that I've never owned a convertible. I got this car as a partial trade with cash for when I sold the BMW. It rattled like crazy, has a bunch of water leaks, and it was slow. I got this pic from the net, but mine was black.

Pros: Top down feels nice.

Cons: I really didn't want this car.

1996 Eclipse Gst Spyder — I've owned this for a while and had a lot of fun. Though the turbo is baby, it pushes the car pretty well. The interior is comfortable and well organized. Everything that you see on the car came with it when I bought it and I don't have the $$ to go out and do a complete 97-99 conversion with non-gangster wheels, so relax. It's actually been pretty reliable. I bent a few valves a while back but other than that it has really been pretty good to me.

Pros: It's the love of my life. It will eat a Ferrari one day. It's about to get a 3kgt SL big brake upgrade.

Cons: The damn ABS light is always on. The check engine light likes coming on for no reason as well. The foose spank 5's are pretty gay.
