Default NEWS!!!! well..for me?

So my mom told me when she gets her income tax, shes going to buy me a car, so i can work on it until i can drive. Lots of people don't understand why i want to do that, but us car enthusiasts do. And if you don't. Well, Its to get some work done to it, and it won't be a 3000 dollar car, my limit is probably 1500. Looking on craigslist.org. Trying to find a 240sx that RUNS. This should be a challenge to find a 240sx that hasn't been molested like four times.

yea, I've had to drive any where from 20 mins to 4 hours to get all my 240's. I'll check and see whats up. But if you do go to look at a 240, just to check it out, make sure you look at the rocker panels, inside the bottoms of all the wheel wells, bottom of front shock towers, lower firewall, and the spare tire well. These are the most prone spots to show rust on 240's.

Well, the dudes giving it to my mom for 650. That's real cheap. I figure, once its nice weather, ill primer it so its not that hideous looking. But i wanna see how the motor looks.

And like on the phone he said the trans was rebuilt so. yeah.

Yes, tommorow we're going to pick it up im pretty sure. but theres a catch, my brother blew his motor in his camaro. and hes using my step dads car, so my step dad will be driving this car around until my brothers is fixed. haha. but id rather have it driven until i can, rather than let it sit, ya know?
