For that money you could get a Civic Wagon with RT4WD. 108 hp stock isn't bad but it has potential for hoonability.

You need a set of these bad boys.

I was about to say the same. Good thing it wasn't a '70. Those are my favorite.

Mud in SoCal is made of clay basically. It's not as wet as east coast mud. I hear cat litter works well in ice situations. If all else fails at least you can kill time by building a sand castle while you wait for the tow truck.

Never forget your towel.

Cat litter or gravel and scraps of carpet. If you get stuck and can't get traction in mud or snow you're not going anywhere.

It's a place to warm the bread!

I'd give them $500 less the price of a new head gasket.

So the moral of the story is... if you're an unsafe driver or otherwise intentionally hitting pedestrians... get a classic car with metal bumpers if you don't want to get caught.

What they're missing though is a Mark Mothersbaugh edition Scion.

Here is a custom Scion truck.

ISBI Riot Vehicle with fire resistant paint.

Salt flat racer.

In a world where automotive grade resin became extinct...

NEXT CASE.

Congrats.

Body work. I've seen way too many terrible bondo jobs on the road. It's probably better to leave it busted up instead of trying to fix it yourself if you don't know what you're doing.

You're going to get a high mileage, rough shape Impreza for that money - but parts to get it tip top are abundant and inexpensive.
