I don't mind AWD. You can't have as much fun as you can with a rwd car. but it's still better than fwd

OK, AWWD...

Been there and done that with a '92 Mitsubishi 3000 vr4 my ex bought with my credit...

It was a blast at first but then once you started pushing it you came to realise that when it did break free you were screwed and there was no going back and it was a good then crap sticks to leather. It was curiously a better drag car than road racer.

At least with FWD you can "goose it and steer" and the back-end will follow you...

RWD is much more controllable (and forgiving) at the edge, that's why F1 and most (maybe all IDK) road race cars (and roundy-round) are RWD.

Passed on the car and the addiction is right. I even sold my damn rims before I made the decision, that's how far I went and still couldn't do it. Needless to say now I need rims and to make my mind up to never get rid, I'll be buying more parts whenever I can now.

Good decision (except for the wheels part), the quickest way there is to lose money is to buy a new car--particularly a Chrysler. The moment you put your plates on it and drove off the lot you would have lost 3 to 4 grand...
