so time for some sad, but also good news, its getting to be that time Options

So, in just about a month and a halfs time, im packing every thing up and moving for school. Im moving about 3 and a half hours away from my home. Gonna be right across the river from Detriot. So, since detroit has a pretty good crime rate, my parents were kind of paranoid about me bringing my car down there. They were affraid that if i keep it parked in the parking lot, its gonna get jacked. So, the sad news is, my celi, shez gonna b sittin under a car cover for almost a year Im kinda pissed off, but they think its for the best. So, they want me to find a "beater car". Somethin thats gonna be cheap on insurance, somethin thats not too much of a looker, and somethin thats gonna be easy and cheap to maintain. So i did some looking around at different cars i could get, looked into a few old cressidas, some camrys, some corollas, but couldnt find any thing i liked. So, my friend Tyler, just got his new car imported from Japan. He also bought a 72 Datsun 240Z as a daily driver for b4 it landed, unfortunatly, the Z needed quite a bit of work. So the body shop he deals with, loves old nissans. The owner offered to buy it off him, or maybe a trade. So the guy offered my friend a new paint job for his 180SX and also a 1977 Toyota Corolla SR5. Ty was kinda wondering why he would even want a 77 rolla, so the body shop guy told him, "oh, btw, its got an S14 blacktop SR20DET in it"..lol So even with that insentive, my friend still wasnt sure about it, he also didnt need another car. So, guess what my next car is gonna be? Gotta save up next paycheck b4 i can buy it. Its a complete car, runs, etc, only thing it reallly needs is paint, a bit of rust work (that the body shop is willing to do), and the interior put back together. So i figure, ok..a little less than 2k for the car, about another 350 for the rust work and painting it flat black, then just bring her home and put her back together, just..with a few new fun parts *cough* momo steeringwheel and 1 piece seat *cough*. So, this will mean that soon im no longer gonna be driving my celi, but it also means soon, i will be driving the sickest sleeper in ontario . Ill still come float around the forums every so often, just figured i would give every one a heads up.

i know its not that bad, but my parents are just stupid. Im actually going to St. Clair college in windsor. Plus, with my car, i dont have tinted windows, i have a crappy alarm thats been on the frizt for like 2 or 3 months, and also red is a big target colour. Plus yea, the drivin 4 hours back and forth is gonna be great for the KM on my car. Oh well, if i get the rolla its gonna be drive down once, then just use it for drivin around the city.


i would get a 5th gen, but the thing is, my insurance is stupid on my 6th gen, and its still pretty high on a 5th. My old 87 non turbo automatic supra was like 150 less than my celica. The rolla is really cheap on insurance.
