    Drove this today, no power steering so it required some strength but great fun nonetheless :D

    Just got an email from the current owner of my first car (which I loved, dearly, and had to sell because of money problems) basically describing to me how he's ruined it. Straight up told me he screwed up the ride, handling, and fuel economy, but that it looks cool now. I know it's his car now and he can do whatever he wants with it, but I don't need to see that shit. Ugh.

    Before/After:

    I pretended I liked it and told him to send me an email if he ever wants to sell it.

    Yeah, at least he's taking care of it and doesn't plan on an engine swap or anything. Sell a car for $700 and there's a pretty good chance it'll end up being used for parts, so it's lucky that didn't happen. I just hope he doesn't do anything crazy that'll mess it up for good. That car was 100% factory original with just over 100,000km on it when I sold it, not to mention being a very rare model.
    It's not like Canadian roads are terrible and full of holes or anything right? It's got no power steering too, so I bet it's just a joy to park with all that extra rubber.

    Craigslist is a sad place for anything cheap and sporty although I did just see a pro street vega with a blown big block in it for 7k so at least there's some anti rice too

    It's not minor when your feet get wet when it rains.

    I know salt is necessary to stop the ice and snow from forming but you guys don't have to use esports-levels of salt either.
