You've obviously never driven a 240...it's just not capable of "fast", whichever transmission it has. Assuming it's a coupe, it weighs 4030 lbs with 114 hp - that's a lb to hp ratio of 35

Edit: oops, that was GVW. Curb weight is around 3000, so a ratio of 26.3.

4 speed with a push button..........ding-ding-ding we have a winner. It is a beige (with blue hood, don't know why) 4 door.
I will grab a few pics tomorrow, it's too dark outside right now. Well maby that might be better.

What about a Jeep Cherokee? Pretty stout, can't kill the, aren't speed demons, can haul loads of stuff (if she is in or on her way to college) and can be had for cheap money.

...and she won't drive it too much because she won't be able to afford the gas.

I also think she had "issues" with the 4 speed because it was beige with a blue hood. I mean my bad, what kid doesn't want a beige and blue Volvo tank? I mean I know if I were younger and needed a car to pick up chicks a two tone Volvo would be the hotness....

I don't think she is trolling for chicks.
She has another car to drive, because of the good nature of a fellow Dorki.

I didn't mean it that way. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I didn't want to put trolling for guys and everybody give me the curious look.
