I've had a few of them and I see them driving around all day long. Rust doesn't mean ----. I'd have a hard time finding a rusty vehicle within a 50 mile radius of me, but that doesn't mean there isn't a piece of ---- vehicle near me. You can't expect any vehicle to last if you don't maintain it. Brakes are a maintenece item and they will go bad on any vehicle if you don't change them. Geez.....

Drums rotors and calipers go bad too. Do you expect them to last forever without ever having to change them? Hahaha...I hear they run out of gas all the time too. :P
Just because you had one car that was a pile of ---- doesn't mean they all are. :P

Look at the skid marks in the front of your underwear - it is the same color but there are holes . You guys suck, I have spent half my life fixing rust on my Cars in Ohio.

I have an SVO Mustang that is getting restored.
I like the 4cyl car, Forged Crank and rods pistons aren't forged but they are strong enough to hold 400+ HP. Plus they have a posi rear end. Tranny is heavy duty too. 16" 50 series tires, Koni struts and big sway bars. I am kind of suprised that these aren't worth more than they are, there aren't that many of them around. 1985 1/2 and 1986 were the best years most horsepower.

I have a Neon and a Mustang! I am the enemy.

Any Svo would be sweet, but where I'm at, there still worth more than I'd be willing to pay...

Old dude at my work bought one with a blown head gasket for $800 and its pretty clean, but everytime I ask him " when ya gonna drive it to work", he says " when I fix a few more things", but when I ask how its running he says " runs great", hehehe...

SVO would be sweet... I'll bet it gains 40whp for a real IC, instead of its stock "heat sink".
