Re: General discussion chat Lucky. Same power, but this is a 1.9 CVH. Too bad I don't live in the Czech Republic; Cheap cars and fun.
Re: General discussion chat Now you need to buy a wing and have a fake RS Cosworth since they're the same generation: (imported from here)
Re: General discussion chat boy, people sell cars cheap where you live, an escort of that quality with all those features would easily be in the thousands where i live
Re: General discussion chat XD no thanks, a dip job and some fuzzy dice are all that's needed. My dad had a Merkur with the 2-wing spoiler. Pics later, first to pay the guy in full and transfer the title over to my dad for the time being. I'll own it when I get my permit I think. Fast food tray doriftuu anyone?
Re: General discussion chat Then there's something wrong. The Escort is an ancient car and shouldn't usually cost more than the equivalent of about $750.
Re: General discussion chat Ahem.... California. EDIT: All I know about it is: 3 door hatch comes with sport rims/sticky tires 1.9 cvh engine, 88hp 5 speed stick 35mpg no heat/ac idk about stereo though, need to upgrade i bet needs a new clearcoat/satin black dip job needs to be cleaned needs a starter needs a passenger's side window regulator
Re: General discussion chat (before someone asks, no i don't live in sacramento, i'm about an hour away from them though so i just use sacramento for craigslist instead of my local one because sacramento has more stuff that shows up)
Re: General discussion chat Schools have been closed for two days now, and they just closed them for the rest of the week. Because the south.

Re: General discussion chat Cars are really cheap here, did some quick searches for various bargains. 92' BMW 316i http://www.sauto.cz/osobni/detail/bmw/rada-3/16265965?goFrom=list 793 US$ 95' Audi A6 2.6 V6 http://www.sauto.cz/osobni/detail/audi/a6/15876532?goFrom=list 788 US$ 01' Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 http://www.sauto.cz/osobni/detail/alfa-romeo/156/16256433?goFrom=list 829 US$ Mercedes-Benz 124 230E 2.3 diesel http://www.sauto.cz/osobni/detail/mercedes-benz/124/16267638?goFrom=list 507 US$ Those are some i think some westerners might be interested in. Of course there is a lot of actually cheap FWD 4banger cars, Skodas, VW's, Fords, Mazdas, many others... for between 124 US$ and 414 US$ (3k Czk to 10k Czk) All of those being fully drivable, just to buy, register, insure, and get on the road. That is the hard thing with being a first time driver. There is so much to pick from you could buy, but you can have only one!
Re: General discussion chat Buy from newegg? I spent $1k on mine over 2 years, for what it is now (so basically $1700 because JDMclark i'm sorry but your build was not the best for the cost), and it can run up to 4 vehicles, at least, at around 60fps. also dat sexy case
Re: General discussion chat You can buy a used car for about 800 dollars? That's cheap compaired to my 1,700 dollar commercial grade metal swingset for my backyard.
Re: General discussion chat How many MPG can you get with that swingset? Mine gets about 0, but that's because I don't own one, and because I believe swingsets don't move, nor would it be a legal street vehicle AFAIK.
Re: General discussion chat I can't vouch for the others, but I'm not talking about the Euro at all. I can find a relatively feature-equipped Escort from 1997 for £395, which equates to $610. I'm not knowledgable on inflation but the pound is the oldest usable currency in the world, I'm fairly sure its prices are more "settled/accurate" than the Euro and the dollar.
Re: General discussion chat Well, Toyota 4-cylinders like the cold even less than Chevy V6's. There is no life to be found in the Corolla of Doom.
