I left that option open in case someone didn't fall underneath the yes/no options. As others have mentioned they have had trucks/suv's that might be rwd/awd. Others might have an awd car that is rwd biased. Yes I know the question is yes/no, but wanted to leave it open for those who didn't fit the mold of the question perfectly as that always happens with self created polls on these threads. Someone always tends to chime up, "what about....X" or "how about a 3rd option cause...."

Hahaha, you realize that your first car would be a primo slide wagon? I would LOVE to have that sucker!

This will be my first RWD, but I've driven S2Ks before. My group of friends all have S2Ks and one of them has bought/sold maybe 5 of them. He told me 2 of his buyers crashed the S on their way home the same day after buying. I've learned to respect the oversteer.

Hopefully I'm not the 2nd but it doesn't hurt to be in the Top 5!

I was everyone's ride home with that thing. It never got old every time they used to see the "5-Speed" emblem on the rear hatch too.

My pops actually had a few cars that would defintely be classics if he kept them today; '60 Ford Galaxie, '63 Impala, '72 Nova SS, '78 Corolla, the Corona, '88 Toyota SR5 p/u.

i chose "other." my MR2 is RWD, but it's MR, not FR. i did just pick up a 240sx, but haven't really driven it much yet. i have driven other FR cars on the street and at autox. also, my truck is part-time 4x4, so it's sort of FR when the transfer case isn't shifted in.

One of my best friends has a 78 Corona Sedan. His roommate, another friend of mine, just picked up a seriously insanely clean 80 Corolla coupe (TE72). My jealousy was...in great number.
