I had a Probe GT in high school/college. It drove great but didn't have nearly enough power and was still wrong wheel drive. In the end, those cars were engineered to be thrown away after 5 or 6 years. You almost never see them on the road and when you do it's a busted up 4cyl.
That said, there was a lot to like about it and when they were new, I thought they looked great.

I raced one in lemons twice.

That's brave. Made to break. Handle great though. I saw an MX-6 (same car, basically) destroy the competition at an auto-X event back in the day.
I learned my lesson. Two engines in two races was enough. It was fun and relatively easy to drive fast. I set the fast lap of the day both the brake and clutch pedals were laying on the floor due to fluid overheat.

There comes a time when honest debate, serious diplomatic efforts, and logical arguments have been exhausted and only men and women willing to take up arms against evil will suffice to save the freedom of a nation or continent.
