So I got to work today, was browsing Craig's List, and came across a '95 Celica with a salvage title for sale. I was out of work on my way home and then to Seattle within minutes. Three hours later, I was the owner of this:
Yeah, it's pretty beat up, and purple, and a slushbox, and the tranny makes lots of noise at idle, but I'm very happy with it. Drove it three hours home with no problems at all, despite being told it has a blown head gasket. The car has 114,000 miles and the engine and tranny both feel strong and smooth. Whaddaya guys think? I don't think it's too bad for $350.

Very cool. Hey, if not for a possible daily driver, you could probably make a profit off of it just by the parts or parting stuff out to members.

[right][snapback]225404[/snapback][/right] That was the main idea before I drove it. I planned on using some parts for my yellow Celica before I sell it, and then part out the rest. Not so much for profit, but more to help my 6GC friends out.
