Sometimes you just like how the car looks. The first car I bought for myself was a Dodge Avenger. Thought it was a sweet looking car and knew I wanted it the second I saw it was in my price range. So, bought it despite having no idea how to drive it home. Only took a few times killing it to figure out though. These guys just didn't want it bad enough.

You have learned yourself a valuable lesson about buying interference motors.

I learned a few lessons. Don't try to go 80 in 3rd gear. it's better to fork over a few extra thousand to get a new engine from a dealer rather than rebuild. Change your timing belt on schedule.
