I know, I know, believe me. The shame is not lost on me.

When my mother-in-law gave me that Corolla free-of-charge, I said, "why the hell couldn't she have driven a Golf??"

When an 8V Golf GT 4-door came up for sale down the street, I offered the Corolla in trade but was turned down. And, I'm not sure how I would have explained it to my extremely generous mother-in-law.

But I must admit, the Corolla is a beast. It's starting to rust in all kinds of places (odd for Colorado) but it's never given me any mechanical trouble.
