    something like this: 
    https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/cto/5931214523.html is what I would buy
     
    If you want cheaper, I would get a Fit.

    Honda Civic, Honda Fit, Honda Accord, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Camry, Toyota Matrix, Lexus ES/IS300 from the early 2000's. Not much of a Nissan fan (from that period) but you can look at those as well. IMO those interiors are shit.
     
    All reliable. Honda's tend to be sportier than Toyota's (if you get an EX trim or similar). Lexus' are more luxury but also reliable. The IS is the sportiest of the bunch. All of these should be around 10 years old and somewhat affordable.

    *Mitsubishi Evo Lancer...
    Now that's a proper bad boy's racer  (and my favourite car since 2005, like I'd rather have a Evo X FQ-360 over a super car plus it's something I could actually buy in the future and justify)

    I don't really know your budget or if car prices are different in Cali, but if here's a few suggestions.
     
    -One option would be a Mitsubishi Lancer. They are a bit more common in Manual Transmission and I think they don't look half bad. I also believe that some of the "ralliart" edition ones are AWD. Not to mention they are nice little economy cars and get good MPGs.
    -If you want something super reliable and cheap to repair/maintain, I would look in to Hyundais. Specifically the Hyundai Elantra. Its hard to find an older one with low miles but they're easy to drive, comfy, and get decent gas mileage.
    -If you're willing to pay a little more for super reliability I would look into toyota's sedans too, those things are bullet proof and will last forever if maintained properly. 
     
    The main thing I would recommend that you DON'T do is impulsively buy a European car. All my friends with VW and Audis are paying ass loads for simple repairs because the parts are quite often more expensive and they are harder to work on so you pay more for labor if you don't work on the car yourself. 
    Another thing to remember is its your FIRST car, so there's really no need to go too crazy with how new it is or how low the miles are. I kinda see cars as an investment, because you will most likely be using them to get to and from your job faster and much more comfortably than public transit. 
     
    I'm no car expert but I hope this helped you out a little bit!

    I have had much success with easeus in recovering deleted/formatted drives.
    One annoying this is that you will likely lose all filenames and folders but the majority of the files will be there, buts with names like "doc00000001" etc.

    Don't try recovering the partition table just yet. Get the files themselves. Whatever you do, don't write onto the drive. 
    So what you need is a second drive that you can save the recovered files onto. Then a program that can read the data off of the formatted drive.
     
    Piriform recuva is one decent and free software: https://www.piriform.com/recuva
    I've had loads more luck with Photorec http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec It's not as easy to use though. But it's also free.
    The best I've come across is EaseUS data recovery, but that's paid http://www.easeus.com
     
    EaseUS can get you your filenames and folder structure too. The other two just get the files with on-the-go-generated names and dump them all in a single heap. They do retain the metadata though, so you can then rearrange the photos according to something like date taken. I'd suggest starting with Recuva, then re-doing the scan with Photorec. That's how I usually go about this.

    Hi there
     
    What you would need to do is basically navigate to Disk Management and Initialize, partition and format and then assign a drive letter to the drive and you should be ready to go.     
     
    Let me know if you have any questions!

    Lamborghini announced their new car the Asterion, their new plug in hybrid with an astounding 910 total horsepower and a cool look 
     
    The Asterion LPI 910-4:
     
    The car features a 910 total horsepower in its all-wheel-drive configuration, where 300 comes from electric motors. The car can operate at 910 horses full mode, or at 200mph in its electric mode which "delivers power to motors mounted in the front axle alone", which give it a 62mph in three seconds.
