LOL, our cars scored: 164 points according to my additions..
Quote:
Point Key:
0 Points: Try public transit.
1-5 Points: Edmunds is that way.
6-15 Points: Hey, at least you know what a car is.
16-30 points: That's a cool car you got there. Time to Sawzall the back off.
31-45 points: It's no Hoondai Sonata, but it's pretty good.
46-75 points: You like driving. You even like driving a lot. But why all the compromises, man?
76-100 points: 'Vettes get 'em wet, dude. As do turbo-diesel Peugeot wagons.
101-150 points: Is that an E39 M5 in your pocket? Or do you have an erection?
151-200 points Fantasy Garage
201-250 points: Bitchin' Camino
251+ points: You love cars. Secret cars, concept cars, flying cars, vintage cars, tricked-out cars, red cars, black cars, blonde cars - sometimes, cars just because of the curve of a hood.

I came up with 149 point for my 04. Did you subtract for the 4 cup holders?
Rotary: 23 points (+23)
ongitudinally mounted: 25 points (+25)
Throttle bodies: Add 5 points per throttle body (+5)
Normally aspirated: 0 points (+0)
Suicide Doors: 50 points (+50)
Rear-wheel drive: 25 points (+25)
Mid (engine): 10 points (+10, See Note)
Manual: 20 points (+20)
Japan: 1 point (+1)
161- 270 hp: 5 points (+5)
5 - 10 years: 0 points (+0, my 04)
Cupholders: -5 points for every cupholder (-20, 4 cups)
Ashtrays: 5 points for every ashtray (+5)
Note: There could be an argument on this one. Some consider mid-engine to be only behind the passenger/infront of the rear wheels.
