    Now you need to buy a wing and have a fake RS Cosworth since they're the same generation:

    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?

    Then there's something wrong. The Escort is an ancient car and shouldn't usually cost more than the equivalent of about $750.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
