I settled my Integra insurance claim and have been looking for cheap cars to compliment the 7. Here is a nice parts hauler I found. I like it, do you?

Lol, no, but it's in great shape and only $750. These get 30-35 mpg and are trouble free. I figure the 7 is like a fine babe that needs $ and attention to be happy, so the beater had better not compete for those resources.

It looks fine, and for that price, you can't go wrong.

The car looks great, and with just a 150 shot of NOS, you'd be pulling close to 200 horsepower!



Seriously, the car looks great. If I needed a beater, I'd buy it for $750 in a heartbeat.

Blah, too ugly for me. If it's going to be super old, it has to look funky.



Get a MKI Mr2. A lot less space, but a LOT more fun. You can find one for $750 and it will get 33mpg all the time, and be a blast to drive with no worries!



If you need FWD, or AWD...get a G2 Integra (I Just got one as a beater/DD for the up-and-coming Sports car [not sure anymore what I'm getting]) or a DSM.

Dude.



It doesn't get any more funky than this.







And is this thing RWD or what?
