My 87 toyota camry gets 35 miles to the gallon (5 speed). I keep fixing it because of that.

[quote=taz3cat;337695]I personally am not driving one of those death traps. I want a vehicle that is safe and strong enough to give me some protection when the idiots on cell phones crash into me. My old body won't take the crashes like a crash dummy's.

lol, try riding a motorcycle here in Cali(with the cell phone law in full affect, but making no difference)
it might be a cheap car, but its still not quite a "death trap".
but to agree... along with my bike, i have a 2007 silverado... it makes me feel pretty safe... and it's the best vehicle i've ever owned by far.. next to my 97 z28's fun factor (but it kept breaking)
