Haha yea, I'm just going to work my ass off doing anything I can for cash and buy some cheap POS with a stick, so long as it runs. I don't have the skills or the knowledge to be trying to fix major problems and I don't want to bust out a ton of cash just to get the thing running, not to mention any leaks ect. I'll try and bring a family friend who is a mechanic and have him look at it too. I was thinking spending about $1200 MAX on something? Would this be alright, so long as it isn't so messed up that I'll be overwhelmed? I have a friend who picked up a 240sx for $300 on craigslist as his first car. It was a ricey POS, but it still ran, and thats how he got into modding so I'm just keeping an eye out for anything cheap.
