Good advise from Jason. Define the requirements FIRST. It's just like building a robot

I have always been interested in cars, so having an unreliable college car was a great thing, I learned all kinds of neat things about how cars work (and what makes them not work). It helped that my part time jobs during college were car related--first at an auto salvage yard, then at a transmission shop.

I doubt this is how normal people look at buying a car for college, but hey, this is robotics, and we're not normal people.
