Yup. Ford had the turbo coupe and super coupe. An old friend from my last job had a TC.

Those GMCs are pretty rare. Big money comparatively.

2011 Saab 9-5 Aero Turbo 6 XWD First Test - Motor Trend

Guessing they will be going for a steeeeeppp discount.

What am I missing here?

No thanks to the GMCs...there is no excusing how ugly (and white trash) those fucking things are. I WAS thinking factory turbo but I'm also entertaining any non-turbo, fun, and relatively cheap sports car. I just want to bang 5 gears again, like a man. I'm tired of driving boring, sterile automatic cars like this turd Lexus I'm driving now.

Hell ya. I would suffer retribution from all of my friends and family who just wouldn't understand. My fucking boss would tell me every single day that it's a "girl" or "chick" car...fuckin herp derp

[corvetteguy78]

not considering a Celica All Trac Turbo?

 

[reckedracing]

i can vouch for the old probes
i had one that i bought off a friend, somewhere close to 200k miles on it
i beat the shit out of it everyday and never popped the motor.
had to put a 5 speed in it, was fucked when i got it, and it had a habit of eating wheel bearings, but over all a reliable fun car to drive.

old probe = mx6

I think I'm just going to buy a bugeye rex wagon and be done with it. I search and search and keep ending up back at that. I realized I would need something I could securely carry my bike in and that fits the bill...
