My cheap ass car :)
Custom shot:
It's a 1993 Renault 19 1.8RN Phase II. It's pretty spacious (important when you're almost 6'7" (202 cm), not too slow (it's far from a rocket though), and pretty comfortable. Needed a cheap car for downtown driving (as far you can talk about downtown over here  ) and could get this one for cheap...
Specs:
Topspeed - 183 kph
0-100 kph - 10,7 seconds
95 Hp 4-cylinder engine
Plus:
- Space
- Reliable
- Not too shabby speed
Down:
- Paint (front)
- Most ugly wheels EVER.
    
And yes, the camera is shit.

A people carrier as JC would describe it  10,7 secs is not bad at all

Re: My cheap ass car :)
It may not be a Ferrari, but it gets the job done for you and is fairly cheap to run I am assuming. 
Thanks for the pics/story

Well, I'm not sure if I want to drop money in this car. Might save it for a next, much better car in the future...

Because of your avatar it is almost impossible for me to see what else was posted in this page since my eyes are glued to it
Is it reliable? My typical question to Renault owners since my family had awfull experiences...

I only have the car for a month now, so I can't say much of it already. Apart from a cooling hose (which is normal at that km's) I have had no problems...
Part of the reason the acceleration is decent is because it doesn't weight so much..

If the car has 4 wheels and a steering wheel, who cares how fast it goes *thumbs up*
As long as it takes you from point A, to point B. The more powerful rides can come at a later time
