hm... now that i have a job...
 
...What would be the best beater to get. like something i could redily find for like under 1k bones, and that i could run intothe ground. im thinkin a truck of somesort, but not really. something like a cheap ass subaru or a carolla. something with a carb cus they are simple and less bs to break.

whats your opinion?

ive been looking for a first gen crx or civic especially.
