    Because it was something nice, within my budget, and right here in Fargo. Plus, Car & Driver named this chassis to its '10 best list' during all 8 years of production.

        because i wanted an awd, turbo car and couldn't afford a wrx at the time. plus I got a pretty good deal. I wanted something to work on, and I got my wish, but I wanted to work on making it faster not just fixing the damn thing. Although it's ran pretty well for the last 3 or so months. jinx

              cause it wasnt a mustang....

              And the Maxima is ghetto, low key, and a pos....

              On the other hand a new car is in the works as soon as I make up my mind.

                  I bought mine because I was hooked on Mustangs after I drove a 2003 GT when our truck blew a spark plug in Nebraska. I bought mine because I loved the color, it had the 5.0, was a 5spd and was babied its entire life. I also got a pretty good deal on the car.

                      Because i wanted coupe, AWD and more options for reliable upgrades than any other car i can find. Plus, a billion years of reliable rally must have taught them something.

                        because tahoes are pimp...

                        wanted to dump the explorer for something more reliable and wanted a fullsize so that down the road I can pull a loaded 18' dovetail if the cards so fall that direction. Was looking at fullsize x-cab pickups when I found the Tahoe. Tahoe rode better than the pickups, turned a shitbunch better in tight areas, had plenty of room in back for all the shit I tend to carry around, and will work good if I so happen to get married and have kids in the next 5-10 years. Also found out it was a babied 1 owner and the price was only about $6k over my budget. :eek:

                        Then in the long run it'll still haul if necessary.

                        Next car will hopefully be a 96-98 SVT cobra in black. Why? Like the body style the best, quick enough out of the box to keep me entertained, and boatloads of potential.

                                I chose my SVX because it was cool lookin. Um I really didn't get a chance to make much of a decision, I had crashed my car and was just lookin for somethin. And I looked at the subaru and an E30 Bimmer. I did like the bimmer better, but my dad ended up getting the svx for some reason. Next car will probably be an E36 M3 but as I keep looking, I see that these things are damn expensive to mod, so maybe something else. I need suggestions

                                    When I bought my car in 2001 it was one of very few new affordable turbocharged cars available, had a solid reputation in rally, and aesthetically was my favorite car on the market. I didn't know a whole hell of a lot about the "scene" or about modding imports in general when I first bought the car.

                                      I bought mine because I needed a new car, and it was the best bang for the buck. I had a few other cars on my list, but this one made the most sense.

                                          At least you got the best year of Chevelle. I miss my old '70. That's one car I NEVER shoulda sold.:mad:
