Well after going to look at a few cars... its time to enlist help. I am looking for a car to have fun in. I am in love with auto cross and my wife says I need a new hobby. Unfortunately when the wife is involved there is always a budget...

$3000

So here is the deal, I want this to be interactive as possible. I am including my local craigslist (Albuquerque) to hopefully find something that I can tinker with.. and have fun with. Now here is another catch... we have emission requirements on anything 1980 or newer. So don't got all crazy on just delete the cats... since it won't pass and I will wind up with too many tickets.

My requirements...

1: Must be standard trans

2: Must have aftermarket support

Thats it! Good luck and happy hunting

Step 1: Sell wife and kids on the black market. If you don't have kids to sell, steal them.
Step 2: Add ~$75-100k to your budget
Step 3: Buy a Ferrari

So yeah, you're an awful human being now...but...that's like par for the course among Ferrari owners, so no big deal!
