@FISH, I'm still driving the POS Neon!
I had a Neon for 13 years. (No longer do) Best car I ever had. It was like a zombie. The last time I took it for inspection the mechanic said the car shouldn't' even be running... but it did. It sounded like crap, ran like crap, leaked fluids, but the most important thing is it kept on going. My inspection failed, yet I drove it for nearly 3 years after with an expired sticker.
