Well, I’m embarassed to admit that in a moment of weakness I did this to my car: [![](http://barrygoldberg.net/photos/eclipsegsx35a.jpg) ](http://barrygoldberg.net/photos/eclipsegsx35a.jpg) Granted, it _is_ turbo-charged and I have driven it upwards of 110mph, but it’s still mostly there for looks. Still, the car really stays glued to the road regardless of the speed. Of course, that might also have something to do with the fact that it has all-wheel drive… 😉 Barry ---

> [@](#): > > Post your car photos, take your chances. Hey – I _did_ say it was in a moment of weakness, didn’t I? 😉 Never fear – I expect abuse as a result of driving my car. I wasn’t counting on the slashed tires and broken windows, but I was definitely expecting ridicule from my peers. If it’s any consolation, my fiancee drives a Hyundai. When we get married, we will only need one car. She, of course, wants me to sell mine, and I refuse to survive with only a Hyundai Elantra (aside from the fact that it has no guts, I don’t fit behind the wheel comfortably). I’m trying to concince her to sell both cars and buy something practical AND powerful. Like maybe a Pontiac Grand Prix GTP or a Mercury Maurauder. Barry ---

It’s a fancy Gillette Trac II. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-spoiler-on-a-saturn/153335.md?page=2)
