Wow, this sounds a bit outrageous...

[Bun-Bun]

At the time (1999) my Eclipse looked like the best horsepower/$$$ deal. My turbo only takes premium, but I was really in the mood for a peppy car. I drove my ~100 hp Pulsar for 11 years, and longed for a car that did not require a merciful consensus from the adjacent drivers to enter the freeway.

I guess Austin's not a big city. Mass transit here inhales. Completely. Utterly. And the planned "commuter rail" neatly avoids my part of town.

And now everything's turning into a toll road. :(
