    My buddy's wife had one of those Cavaliers back in the late 1990s. I had to drive it for some reason, and it was actually pretty fun. It was faster than I expected, even though I had an '88 Fiero Formula at the time with the same engine. I don't remember if it had digital gauges.

    I almost bought the convertible version from a pot-lot in Tacoma, WA around the same time. I don't remember anymore why I didn't pull the trigger. Price, maybe??

    I'd kill for a mint 85 up fuel injected K car wagon with as much optional stuff you can get but then it's a 5 speed manual. I've got an automatic wagon and a 5 speed coupe (and an automatic coupe as well) but I've tried for years to get a stick wagon with ac and stuff and have had no luck. They're pretty much nonexistent.

    Was wondering how long it would be before someone mentioned the Isetta!

    Not to insult John DeLorean but I wouldn't mind a Fiero either (close second or third choice.)

    But I already have mine (no, it's not Speck.)

    I'll answer for two reasons:
    1.) I'm bored and there's nothing to do right now
    2.) I feel like starting up an old thread again

    The one car that I'd love to own is a car that I would be owning next.

    Used 2015 Toyota Prius with low miles

    1.) Because I love the look and body style of the older ones versus the new.
    2.) The old Priuses did not have any of the safety tech.
    3.) Parts are a lot easier and accessible for the old Prius than the new ones.
    4.) Great Toyota reliability and great MPG.

    After that I'll go with an old 1988 Lincoln Town car... Bc big boat & V8 baby
