My first car was an '86, it was sweet. The digital dash lights burned out though which were expensive to replace.

Im not buying it to race it. i just want something somewhat reliable with cheaper parts and auto trans. Plus cheaper insurance rates own, i dont see myself getting tickets in that thing. My EF is trouble.

You misunderstood what i was saying. Im just tired of my hatch, and modding cars in general, at least for right now. I want a reliable DD is what I was saying.
Its really not that I dont like my hatch, I just am getting tired of the import ----, too many ricers. I just want something clean to cruise in.

between that and the price being right. Paint and some D's and it will be right. Maybe HMT kit in the future but just a -ish DD for the mean time lol. How bad are the 6's on gas stock?
