This is another point which i didn't make in my previous post.
When i first learn't to drive, and for 12 months after i first got my license i drove an 88 Astra, old and run down. I didn't give a shit what happened to it as it was already full of dents with paint scraped from the previous owners.
Whilst still on my P plates i bought a wrx, cost me a fair amount of cash. Because of that i was extremely careful when i drove it and rarely ever did i do anything stupid in it.
My point is, crappy cars are essentially worthless. If you blow up the engine or break the gearbox who cares. Scrap it and buy another $1000 car.
Spend 20-40k on a performance car and your lively to take care of the thing and not thrash it to within an inch of its life!
