I once had a decommissioned police enforcer edition crown vic detective car. Scared the pants off all my friends and random people when we'd hit em with the spot light.As fun as it was that piece of junk was indeed a beater.
NO!! i don't want that. i want a little rabbit diesel or some shit.
you could be hydorah level right now

All of you awesome people are going to have to wait ~20 minutes for my intneret to load--
nevermind
@hydorah - i can't afford a ferrari
@dreamyboy - you're speaking my language. where can i find one, like no shit, no shit
@dickbutt - i can't personally support the logistics for a tomcat.

Here's one that's hella flush
All it needs is -10 degrees camber in the back, lowering springs, and a big wing in the back to give you 30 extra horsepower
it's some non-sense... but it's in my language
where the fuck can i find a piece of shit like that?
it doesn't even need to run well

If u really want one, Craigslist would be great if your in America. Finding one with great aesthetics would be hard. I say buy a dirt cheap one and do an engine overhaul with some suspension. You can probably get 150k-200k more miles off it, assuming the chassis is still nice and strong.If you really want to camber your car, Google "camber kit", but that was just a joke lol!
Well let me clarify my situation.
i'm looking for a daily driver.
it could be ugly as shit and have no doors, but i would like something reliable.
has anyone had any positive experiences with craigslist and cars?

if it gets cambered then it gets cambered.... just sayin'...

I have friends that use Craigslist successfully for car purchases. They buy simple cars like older "rice rockets" like the 92-98 Honda civics and Acura Integras. The successful ones bought it from older white men or women. No kidding. By older, I mean looking like they are 50+ years old, from their mouths not mines. You might have to do some fishing of course. Listen to their voice to see if they sound like senior citizens on the phone. Im sure they don't have to be white, but I think it has to do with the "baby boomers" taking good care of their cars and maintaining it well.

i found a sedan version of my car for like dirt cheap. it's like pocket change for me at the moment.
why the fuck does this shit happen though. i'm looking for something fun, not a fucking saloon.

You can always get a 97-99 Acura Integra GSR. It's kind of "peppy", but reliable. Power weight ratio makes it light and gives you some kind of fun compared to other reliable options

you are way too fun, where the fuck am i going to get a 97-99 Acura Integra GSR?
I'm all about this saloon at this point.
i can't wait to go get some groceries.
i still think i'd have more luck finding one of these in my area

i feel like i should reiterate this is a prospective daily driver.
i already have a car that i adore but don't want to drive.
i kind of just want something i can beat the shit out of and not worry.
alright... i did find an integra gsr but they want like $ 5 g
my price range is more like $ 1-2 g

Crx's are reliable. Dam things are made back in 92 and I still see them. What state or country are you from?
i'm in the US, i'm thinking craigslist is going to be more successful for me than other routes.
there are a lot of scooters around here though... starting to think about just getting one of those.
that's not realistic though, honestly.
there are times i'm running late and find myself whipping up the street just to get to work on time.

i'm just looking for a freaking hyundai accent that runs and will pass inspection.
one of the cars i looked at, i swear to god i put that bitch in drive and let go of the brake and it was like the earth stopped turning. i stepped on the gas a little bit and guess what happened? ain't shit.
i floored it and guess what happened? i pulled out like a little-ass fuckin' tugboat.
i should probably buy it, it pretty much meets my requirements.

I seem to have convinced myself that i need a beater-ass fucking car... solely because i love my posh-ass Volvo and hate putting miles on it.
I'm looking for something specific. 80's vw, neither here nor there, but is there some strategy i should be utilizing to maximize efficiency to attain the piece of shit i'm looking fir?
