You quoted a post about a videogame, which is why I asked. I think there have been some ZX2 or at least third-gen Escort owners here. I know more about their Mazda predecessors.

I normally go with latex gloves as a barrier against muck, covering the fact that they're generally not very durable by wearing mechanic's gloves (I use grease monkey gorilla grip ones, as they're cheap) over the top as necessary.

My living situation owns bones. My roommate I found on Craigslist is cool as gently caress, gives me $700/mo, and is building me cabinets for my garage (eventually). Super courteous, and he's got a security clearance so I don't have to worry about him doing something crazy. CSB is this how people turn gay? I like him more than my girlfriend.

Passed my ASE test, didnt get reamed for crashing a customers car into a tree (someone didnt pump the breaks up and I was told to back it out while working on 2 other cars) and the city is letting me keep my license due to speeding tickets if I take a safety driving class. 2014 might not have such a bad ending after all.

27.2 and 25.5mpg for each 100 mile leg of the trip so far in the beetle. First leg was dry and 65mph steady flat, second leg was horribly wet, varied between 40 and 60mph (stuck behind semis the ENTIRE half), and was mostly uphill. Pretty pleased so far. E: RCR bros

mafoose posted:Parts can get expensive quick and they aren't worth poo poo to try and flip. Thanks, but I wasn't actually serious. There is no way in hell I want a '96 850. I've had one good '96, and it was an NG900. A complete loving turd that I fixed up for somebody who was without a car. That $1500 car ended up costing me nearly twice that by the time it was fixed (perfectly, natch, since it was getting CARB'd). I want a hatch again.  The '99 Saturn SC2 is a 5 speed and probably has a reserve of $600, too. Power started getting fucky last night (Rain to Snow to Slush to OHFUCK). Went out for good this morning about an hour and a half ago. I'm not too worried. I have two laptops with good batteries, my amazing noname UPS can run the router and cable box for 10 hours.. and as for heat? I've got a gas stove. I'll just light it carefully from a match clipped to an antenna with an alligator clip.  I would like to listen to a bit better audio than the $0.25 radio I picked up a few years ago to flip because it was branded with a local event. Never bothered, because it isn't worth all that much.

Seat Safety Switch posted:The fuel distributor alone is going to pay for those cars in just a few years. I have a least three of those hanging around now, and tons of injectors. If I ever decide to build a CIS based rally engine, I've got the spare parts for sure. Only one of the Audi 5ks runs, the other is a parts car, but the 5k body is really too heavy for any real fun, so I plan to gut both bodies and scrap them and keep the driveline and powertrain.

Good, keep those around. When I was trying to fix the 5000 I eventually condemned to a life of auction hell, finding a replacement (even used) fuel dizzy was impossible. The 5k body is heavy (sound deadening, waxoyl and tank-thick metal does that to a car) but you can save about 400lb stripping even the front seats and collected trim out.

There are always ZX2s popping up here for like $1000-2000 also this looks pretty fun and is a thing I would like to do I'll reiterate what a friend told me when I got my ZX2, so many years ago. "Nice car. Does it come with the strap-on vagina, or is that separate?" It was pretty fun to SPIN DEM FRONT WHEELZ in first from a stop light but once you hit second, yeah, it was almost overtake time. Plus the high rear window made it a bit of a bitch to parallel park until you KNEW how large (small) your drat car was.

My uncle wants to give me his Cherokee at the beginning of the year. This sources an engine, harness, computer, holy poo poo a ton of things I can use for my truck and my dd. This frees up some cash to get my transmission taken care of, and I might pay for a hydroboost brake system as well if I'm clever parting things out. Free car. Free car! HOLY CRAP FREE CAR!
