    Looking for suggestions for fun car under $3k

    That's disappointing. I was hoping for a car to have fun with for a little while and sell it. I'm not interested in rebuilding it over and over until I sell it.

    Does anyone have a good RSS reader they can recommend? I can't find one that will handle a lot of feeds.

    Looking for suggestions for fun car under $3k

    That's what I do too but then I don't know about some of the cars that'll come up. That's why I come here, to get the opinion of all of the experts! :lol:

    Looking for suggestions for fun car under $3k

    Man, I was ready to go to buy a 3000GT VR4 for myself but I see they have a propensity to spin bearings. I don't want a car that's broken more than it's running. :(

    A 94 Camry 2 door V-6 and a 5-speed would be ideal. It's a nice blend of safe, fun enough, and it'll last forever. Seems like most of them are more than a mid-2000s BMW 3-series, if you can find one.

    I've always thought a $500 Tercel would be fun. I like throw away cars. Sounds like that Camaro is just a junker eyesore. Tell you what, just cause I like you, I won't even charge you to take it off your hands. :wink2:

    Looking for suggestions for fun car under $3k

    This has been an interesting drift. My first car was a '66 Mustang 289 with a 4bbl carb and a cam. I had fun with that car but I never had any moments where I think back and say "I probably shouldn't have survived that one." I don't remember where or when I heard it, but someone was...

    One Extra Day in Austin, TX

    Fortunately for now I'm too broke to have an airplane. Maybe if I get on the list now I'll have a hangar open up around the same time I get one.

    AF Drone Pilots in short supply

    A friend of mine emailed this to me today. Seemed relevant. http://defensetech.org/2015/02/14/fewer-than-10-drone-pilots-to-receive-1500-monthly-bonus-this-year/?ESRC=airforce-a.nl This seems like a perfect job for our Guard units. They can fly the RPA part-time and still be home to do...

    If y'all get my thread closed I will personally track both of you down and slap you! :rofl:

    One Extra Day in Austin, TX

    Goodness, I didn't realize how many other people we have from Austin here. I second Louie Mueller in Taylor for brisket. I like Southside Market in Elgin for sausage. You have to order it "dry" though, or else you'll have grease all over your shirt by then end of the meal. I'm actually a...

    What about a Baja bug? I don't know how they'd do down here in the summer. I don't know much about air cooled cars. A/C would be almost mandatory too.

    Most of the ones I see have 455s too!

    Looking for suggestions for fun car under $3k

    Surprisingly, cars are relatively inexpensive down here. You can find some nice older cars for not a lot of money. I thought the 944 might be a reach, but it sounded fun. That was another one I saw, I forgot to list it. I think there was a Forester Sport or something that was pretty...

    Looking for suggestions for fun car under $3k

    My younger brother will be 16 soon and is in the market for a car. My opinion is that everyone needs a fun, cheap car to start with and work on as a character building exercise :). I also wouldn't mind a throw away car for myself when I'm feeling more spirited than the TDI can offer. The...

    Timing belt kit? (2010 Elantra)

    On my Jetta it's like 6 bolts to get the whole front off. It takes longer to gather the tools than get the front off.

    Just land over the construction crew's head; and then play the victim. http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/inhofe_senator_closed_runway_texas_faa_investigate_203537-1.html
