I'm a sucker for anything in electric blue. This !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! is my latest in a long chain of vehicles I continually search for, despite having zero moneys or time for them. I blame Orlove for this one.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

What's the latest vehicle you've been lusting over on Criagslist/Ebay/Kijiji, despite having no means to purchase?

Literally every car I look at on Craigslist. Cobalt SS, Sky Redline, SRT and RT LX cars. The list goes on and on. I just want some performance man, but no monies.

if the tin bug hasn't feasted on it too badly, I would say NP.

I like the way you think! I've got $14.75 in a drawer at school. Maybe he'll take that?

The blue highlights in the wheels were a nice touch.

I'm partial to Turbo Omnis but I have had the pleasure of owning one SVO Mustang from all three years of production. In various states of disrepair of course.

I'd love a DD version.

There's no such thing as a "Terrible idea" when it comes to cars.

The latest have been e30's, TT quattro's and 240sx's. I've found a few SC300's with 5 speed swaps too...

That's always the case with Craigslist! Those are just a few cars I've been drooling over lately. I've decided I want a 70's super beetle and an MGB that I found as well. I came across an Austin-Healey Sprite the other day too, it was a Mark II or III, really good looking car.

If rust isn't too bad and it runs, that's definitely a NP. Super fun to drive, hilariously easy to work on and parts are plentiful and cheap. I wish I still had mine and I'm looking for another one to make my DD.

I haven't even driven my own car yet wich is my first and I am already looking for replacements...

Opel Kadett C - rwd and easy to work on with still lots of support from forums. Sadly getting more and more expensive.

I am always looking at 180sx/200sx/240sx but they were never sold here I think. Right now there are only 2 for sale... A fully built 'skyline 200sx supra ' with 400 hp and a imported 180 sx wich will arrive in Januari... They are really expensive.

Any american car under 26 years are not affordable for most here..

Various 80's El Caminos, and a 1978 Plymouth Volare.

and this Duster, 79, with a 360, and a 3 on the floor.

hahaha yes it would be.

I've been looking for a "cheap" way to get a muscle car lately, and it seems the best way to do it is buy something fro the late 70's. something considered "ugly" like that Duster, or a Nova, heck even a.. Mustang II. If you're willing to go with a 4 door you can pick up something for even less. Like the Volare I was looking at was 900 bucks, and "rust free" it just needed a V8 and a manual trans.

But I'd really like to get a H body and put a 350 in it. Specifically a Olds Starfire.
