go for a 1st gen trooper, you cannot kill them. Mine has 275k miles and I went 17k miles without checking or changing the oil

(im stupid) 20k later I think its fine.

Plus you can pick up a good one for less than $1500

kessler89 · 05-07-2007, 09:37 PM

i guess i'll post my new beater, just got it a couple weeks ago... 30+mpg, AWD, and A/C, that's all i care about, it's already got parts off the STi on it

jungo75 · 05-08-2007, 12:40 AM

BrewPubeaver · 05-08-2007, 08:40 AM

the truck... damn V8 awd gets ****ty gas mailage, lol. but it will tow my car with no problems.

***Crewchief*** · 05-08-2007, 09:02 AM

1988 honda civic hatch with a D16 out of a 1998 civic coupe. ITS A POS but good on gas!

SekretSkwirl · 05-08-2007, 09:35 AM

Ol' Grey 1990 Izuzu AWD Pickup. Going on 220K and still running like a champ. Still has the same battery after 4 years in the Sierra'! It has never failed to start even after extended bouts of inactivity...once while away for 6 months and buried in the snow. Custom exaust: muffler fell off the other day in traffic and now it is a straight pipe

. This truck is so slow I have to beat the livin' daylites out of it just to race semi's up the Summit

. The CD player is a deluxe Pioneer 6 disc changer that skips on anything less than new pavement

but sounds amazing. The front left tire has been bald on the outside edge since I bought the car. I got it aligned and no worries there

Funny thing is the gearbox shifts easier than my STi and the brakes are some of the best I've ever driven

well equipped with Jerry Garcia stickers and Jeff Gordon '24' sticker. Oh yeah the left headlite went out last year so I have to drive with the brights on

Chris05STi · 05-08-2007, 09:59 AM

^AHAHAHA my Camaro's driving light on the left side went too....driving with the Highbeams on FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
