I like beaters. I had to change two valves in my beater but it still smokes a little. I can go 4wding and also my beater has a turbo on it ;D but its still slow. I like not caring about a car ; its an odd feeling

I'm probably going to buy a beater pickup for the winter. Pa winters can be pretty bad sometimes, so my Civic is like a damn snowplow when it snows, plus it'll give me all winter to get my turbo done. Looking for a Ranger or a Toyota. $1200 is the limit though. Found a few so far, but I haven't completely sold my wife on the idea yet, a couple more weeks ought to do it. ;D

hehe thanks Jeff.

oldschoolteg - I like the idea of a beater too... keyword IDEA! Not caring about a car is a fun thing, I was popping the clutch at every intersection (the three or four it actually got through). It's fun but not knowing how long the car is going to last you because it's in such bad shape is not fun :(. I told the dealer all I want this to do is last me until Pittsburgh, which isn't much to ask but the ------ thing just had to die 4 miles away from the dealership. I think I may take another trip out there this weekend (as long as it's still there) and see if maybe I can fix the head gasket. We'll see.

Can't wait til that video is done. My friend is editing it and I'll post it when he's done. :) I'll prolly look for another beater if this one doesn't work out but I dunno.

where in the hell in ohio did you leave it... Seeing how i live here this is what they can do.


Tow it Keep it they will not auction it they will end up crushing it. I know cause it just happened to me. Then they will send the bill to the guy you bought it from.. That is if the title isnt ran all the way yet. NEVER EVER sign a power of atterney. did you get it notorized? In ohio it has to be notorized. If not I bet he knows a crooked one that will do it...

hhhmmm never ever huh? well that's not good. I don't think it was notorized either. What kind of ---- can he do with that?

I left it in the SpringBrook Plaza off of I-77 North in Canton, if you live nearby go take a look, maybe take some aggression out on it :).

I wouldn't worry about the power of atourney. Everyone who buys a car at a dealership has to sign that.

lol sweet! That's cool that you're going down there post pics if you can!!!! I'm going down there probably this coming Saturday to try and fix the headgasket. If you wanna meet me down there I'll let you know what time I'm gonna be there. If I can't get it fixed then it's time to break some windows!! ;D
PS: look for the small pond of antifreeze if it's still there :o. The car is a red (beat up) 89 tercel at one of the exits of the plaza. You'll see it!

OH yeah and Shadow can you see if you see the title in there :-[ :-\ i'm not sure if he gave it to me or not and if he did I don't have it :'(
