Looks like I've got a deal in place to buy an '09 Nissan Xterra Off-Road, should be getting it this weekend if all goes according to plan.

Ugh.
Gotta buy tires, install lower ball joints, get my car aligned. And eventually get a new intake manifold.
Gotta get a clutch and flywheel for the Corolla.
Ugh.

I've found a vintage (early 90s) French car for you; You'll like it. Enjoyed by working moms and car thieves (because just too easy).
Has a beautiful 1.2 55hp engine so you can race the soccer moms in their MPVs too.

If you want extra cheese with it, you can go for the Peugeot 1007 which is a failed innovative design to cross the minivan in a subcompact format.
No purple available though.

Are the working moms easy or are the car thieves easy?
Either way, sounds good to me.
I like how that car looks like it's all door.
The car I posted above has a .66 L engine.

So, that Renault'd be a step up in power.

Nah it's super easy to steal. Door is super easy to open (I know I helped a neighbor steal his own Twingo, because he had locked himself out

), and no ignition locking on the first half produced of the first gen. It's been the #1 car stolen in France for almost a decade.
