Help Billfred Find a Ride!
Alright, so here's the story.
August 19, I start classes at USC. The University of South Carolina, for you Californians. Currently, our family has two cars, a 1998 Accord (my mother's, who she won't give up for anything save maybe an S2000) and a 1999 Civic (my current car, which is shared with my brother). But since I'm going to be gone and will need a car of my own (gotta get back home for FIRST meetings, y'know), there's a need for a third car. The rules: -When complete, the monster machine must appear to be stock. -The team can spend no more than $10,000 in cold hard cash. -Billfred and his crew have until the end of July. On the first day they think. For the next thirty, they hunt. And on the thirty-first day, THEY BUY! If successful, Billfred gets to have a decent mode of transportation for his college days. AND THE CLOCK STARTS NOW! Monster Garage jokes aside, here's what it's gotta be: -It oughta be from 1990 or later, unless there's a really overriding reason otherwise. -The car HAS to be reliable. I don't have the time, money, or sanity to be fixing something once or twice a week. -Automatic tranny. Someday I'll learn to drive a stick--but not today. -I prefer sedans, although I'm open to almost any other body style (minivan, hatchback, shoot, even granny wagons). Just please avoid SUVs. -It's going to need at least decent fuel economy. 20 in the city is great. -It doesn't have to be a Honda. They're great cars, but I'm open to branching out into other makes. -Cars with a history of street racing aren't going to be great--insurance. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated...now to hope I can find a car! |
