As long as the frame isn’t rusty, totally worth it as a project.

Grew up with parents who drove Firebirds, Camaro’s, a scirrocco, Mustang, a 3 series convertible and I was 6'4" towards the latter half. It can definitely be done.

Those running boards doe.

Haven’t had inspections in the state of Florida since the late 90's. You should see the dangerous junk barely rolling down the road.

This time of the year all I hear is, “We will double your tax return for a down payment!” Doesn’t sound great at all, I owe every year!

So true. I’ve never commented on Autoblog but information along the lines of new car releases etc. clearly bypasses Jalopnik. If Jalopnik just had a subsection of up to date press releases etc., that would take me away from Autoblog completely at this point.

When driving I’m always wondering why Chryslers are still on the road!

When our warranty ended in 2005 for our 2001 3-series, we had accumulated around 25k in warranty repairs on a 43k car, plus months of time with Dodge Neons because BMW never had loaner vehicles in the Miami/Broward area. Everything from convertible top stopping half way as its about to rain, passenger door handle…

Vowed to never own another after 2001...abysmal quality. This is nothing new.

Obligatory...it’s the tire pressure

If not for the snow this could be Florida.

AC compressors in these always sound like a tin can in a blender

She ain’t pretty...

The $600 includes 8 used but good spec battery cells/modules ($200) and the battery balancer ($380).

It’s not an eBay listing but I purchased this 2005 Prius non running from a dealer who couldn’t figure out the hybrid battery system. I paid $800 with 148,000. I’ve put about $600 into it and it’s been running great and getting me 45mpg! Makes owning my 12mpg LX470 much easier!

I’m constantly portraying a Samuri designing the new Toyota products with a katana. So glad someone agrees!

I’m a sucker for searching 1985-1999 with 15000-55000 miles. You find so many low mileage vacation or elderly owned cars.

Rock sliders to compliment my winch bumper and in progress rear bumper for my Lexus Lx470!

Just enjoy the drive

Going to need a gas generator....
