They are terrible cars. The plastics crumble if you touch them. The adhesive used hold the interior together lasted 10 years at best. The cast aluminum oil pan is designed to be the first point of impact if you bump a curb. I was really happy to sell the one that I had bought for my daughter.

...Then about a year after I sold it, it was wrecked by the kid who bought it and came back to me for the cost of a $225 towing bill.



Having it back wrecked and for basically free opened my mind to new possibilities. It's one of my favorite cars now:
