I know, I know, believe me.  The shame is not lost on me.

When my mother-in-law gave me that Corolla free-of-charge, I said, "why the
hell couldn't she have driven a Golf??"

When an 8V Golf GT 4-door came up for sale down the street, I offered the
Corolla in trade but was turned down.  And, I'm not sure how I would have
explained it to my extremely generous mother-in-law.

But I must admit, the Corolla is a beast.  It's starting to rust in all
kinds of places (odd for Colorado) but it's never given me any mechanical
trouble.
