Someone please remind me why I am supposed to love this car.
 On the way to work this morning, just after filling up, pull onto the hiway and slowly get into the throttle. Just as I'm shifting into 3rd at a modest 50mph whoof.... WTF was that? Car is a complete dog... first thought is blown intercooler line... pull over and pop the hood. Nope, everything's tight. Oh shit. Start it up again. This time white smoke that I hadn't noticed earlier pours from the exhaust. Oh F@#$!! Best guess at this point is either a head gasket or turbo that blew. Car has been eating (not leaking) antifreeze for the last couple weeks.
-------------------- The fastest car I own is a minivan....

If you're feeling handy I've got a line on a blown 16G that could be had for cheap. Shell out for a rebuild kit and your got a pretty cheap 16G there. Unfortunately it would entail downtime and labor though.
I think you can send them off for a rebuild to a few places for a bit over $300. -------------------- |
