My buddy had a Pinto wagon.
We pretty much lived in it for six weeks once.
It would run plenty good enough to get a ticket.
But, even as a youngster, I knew the thing rode like a pogo stick. Developed a Nasty habit of dying in a left turn, THAT'S Scary in traffic. But, I digress.
Point is, even if it Would've run faster, a day of that car was just brutal, and the Suzuki, dude, I Love the thing as a hop into town, run errands, go home kinda deal. I made Many trips from Longview Texas to Tyler, just to see a chiropractor. Yes, a Good chiropractor is that hard to find.. Anyway, it's not that far, but if you push it, it's a whipping. A windshield might have been a smart move,
I did get 12,000+ miles in one year.

I ended up with a Yamaha FZ-07.
Much safer, much faster, much better MPG, much better acceleration, and at 400LBS, not that much heavier.

All in all it costed me $4.5k, vs $2,5k for an S40, but the $2k surplus is well below any modifications I'd need to do on an S40, to get it 'up to speed', if you 'get my drift'?  Wink
