I beg to differ. I've bought not one, but two reliable daily drivers for
$1000. Okay, the first one erupted into flames. But hey, I got 16000 miles
out of it. My 1978 spit has over 20,000 miles in the last 14 months and
is still running. I've even autocrossed it (yes I got "whupped" by an MG,
but at least I beat a Saturn) Not to mention the fact that I'm in college
and don't exactly baby it at anytime. I've gone camping in it four times
for 5 day trips. It's a great car, it even has overdrive. At a nickel a
mile, it sure beats a bus pass. Of course the PO was the original owner
and loved it like a son, putting tons of money into it. He even gave me
all the receipts.
John, it can be done. With the combined resources of this list, just about
every question can be answered. I just hope it does'nt burn up like my
first spit. Good luck!
