That's impossible, but nice try.
I am currently driving a 2006 Ford F-250 Crew Cab XLT with a 6.0L Turbo Diesel. Runs about $45,000 but the dealership is paying for it (it's my demo).

My list of cars, 1992 Volkswagen Jetta-toatalled in corn field, 1998 Dodge Dakota 5.9 R/T-toatalled ate a guard rail, 1987 Ford EXP- dead exploded, and my current vehicle a 2004 Volkswagen Jetta GL Black- still intact. My sis has a grey 04' 1.8t and its pretty fast compared to mine.
In any case it gets pretty good gas milage, about 300 plus miles on a tank of gas.

hmm well none. But i did once have a rusting Lada Samara with leapard skin seat covers.
Cost me all of £50 and was the most disgusting thing you ever saw, but I used it to get to work and back when I was on nights so I never saw a soul anyway. Then I found a tramp asleep in it one morning and that was the end of that.

it's not impossible...i'm going to have to assume you don't know anything about forced induction. albeit i needed a brand new intercooler.
i'll explain better just so i don't have to repost. i know it's a touchy subject, but it has been done many times and i'm good friends with a mustang expert so he did all the installation. 9000$ later i had brand new internals, new fuel injection, manifolds, and to make the TT/SC work together you redo the bypass for the blower and a bypass for the turbocharger. the supercharger is liquid cooled, so it doesn't get heated up again when it comes through.
Engine>turbo>intercooler>super
in the end it was pretty impractical because it detracted from my top end, but the accel is like getting punched in the chest. plus i know i can at least break even on the car now since it only cost 1500$ to start with

lol no i've just had a nasty history finding cars that have enough leg and head room for me to be able to fit in comfortably without my head denting the roof or my knees acting as a wheel lock
there are big cars out there but unless you have serious money to spend finding a small car with a lot of room inside is a wee bit tricky!

I'm driving an Opel Corsa 1.7 Diesel (For some reason its called Vauxhall in England
)
Its a small but very good car.
460 + miles with one tank of gas (around 42 liters)
Almost totalled it last year, 2800€ of repair costs when I bought it for 3200€ two years ago

i've got a renault laguna...
don't bash me, i know its french
btw, the opel/vauxhall thing came about because in some countries "vauxhall" is a swear word aparently, so i've been told, its that one word may mean something else problem that most manufacturers have... the HSBC's ads point that out quite well
