It took owning my Boxster to make me appreciate what a true gem the 2005 Corolla is, haha. I was going to give it to my son when he gets his license, but I've changed my mind. 198,000 absolutely trouble-free miles. Never seen the inside of a shop, and not even a light bulb has burned out. The car is like an appliance! Gas, oil, tires. Never a clutch, or even a battery yet. 35 mpg all the live long day, the paint still shines, and the interior looks new except for the floor mats.

The worst have to be both of my Explorers. Oh Ford, why cannot you avoid rust like the boys at GM? Oh, my '85 Vette is definitely in the running though - that car fell apart faster than it took them to screw it together in Bowling Green.
