My Beretta was one of those $200 cars. Worked very well.

I'll be driving the Camaro in the winter only because I have no other options. Though it does have that SGS option, I don't know if it is useful at all.

My first car was an 86 El Camino with a 305, so the Camaro can't be any worse.

I am trying to get my Fiero running as it is only a 4 cyl and even though it is RWD the motor is back there so it stays planted.

IM gonna try to find a cavi.. I looked at a place this weekend... They had a 97 SHO with 150k, great condition for 3500, or a 98 intrepid decent condition with 115k for 3500. Im thinking about bumping my bracket up to the 3k range... Might just pay a little extra for somthing a bit better, and more reliable. I need somthing thats going to do highway well. I need to get somthing soon though... Im down to like 2 weeks. Im trying to find a decent cavi somewhere.

avoid the intrepids they were a junk car, the sho's are nice but probably won't help much in snow and ice

Just a heads up, my Cavalier is on mile 212 on this tank of gas, and I got like 3 notches left. Should last me til Saturday and maybe Sunday. Last time I put gas in it was November 2nd. If all goes well, I can't beat 60 bucks of gas for a whole month in city traffic. Love it!

SHO's had alot of engine problems. look into taurus's i hate saying it but yah i have an 04 with 20,000 miles for under 10k so in your price range you should be able to have a nice car. another thing would be to look into Impala's

So I did some looking last night, Im thinking I want a cavi z24. Ive actually always liked how they look, theyre sporty for a smaller car, I wouldnt mind owning one. Theres a couple around here that I emailed hopefully I can check out.

http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/car/481441745.html
http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/car/455871142.html

Im aware the second one looks ricey as ****, but theres not too many around here to fit my criteria of being a manual and having lower miles. Im more interested in the first one, hopefully he will get back to me about it soon.


People in WI, does anyone know costs/time it takes to transfer plates?
