The Ultimate <$3000 beater
I think this will be a fun thread that can live for a few days and die into the history of AKIC...
I just got my RS back from being down almost two weeks and had been rocking a 91 Honda Civic around 4 door 5 spd, 4 injector swap. Anyways here's the bit...What would your ultimate <$3000 (for those that didn't pass algebra < is less than) car/truck be. Hasta be NADA under $3000 not just a 2002 WRX with a smashed quarter. So be crafty here

hands down for me...have a street version of my circle track car in high school...1991 Geo Storm GSI. They never lasted in the Midwest due to salt, but still see a bunch up here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geo_Storm I'd love to one day find a Isuzu Impulse RS, but it's basically impossible with only 600 of them made and everyone of them being tossed aside because there isn't any parts for them. |

I'll be into my 2-door swapped for < $3000 when the time comes.
Hell, all the cars I own now are all sub $3000. I can't afford to have a new car payment, so I just buy beaters and keep them running. |

Sounds fun, however for clarifications on the NADA price, which value shall we use, Average retail? (just so everyone is playing by the same rules)

There's a video of a Justy with a full WRX conversion street racing on youtube, which I can't find anymore, beating high-end performance cars with ease. |
