I was just wondering if any CEGers went to OCC. I just started auto fundamentals 110. Its a pretty nice shop we will be working in. we have 5 lifts, and a ridiculous amount of tools. speaking of which a rep from Snap-On came by today, Im planing on buying a pretty sweet tool set in the next FEW weeks. After that all i need is a car to work on. I found a couple pretty cheap local Contours. But i want somthing that will accually be a project. I also found a Xr4ti for $300, it has 88k on the clock, small rust spots and a missing pass window. I could buy it today but the only problem is the distance.

BTW if any one need a cheap winter beater, I know a guy in my neighborhood with a 93 Scort GT for $600.it has 107,000mi its blue. LF headlight damage. other than that its tip-top. (i would get it my self but i want somthing with a little more oomph)



if I were you, I would pick up the escort GT. the Mazda motors in those things are really reliable. and $600 for a 93 Scort GT with 100K on the clock is dirt cheap for a reliable car. Plus since you said you will be working in the shop... You probably could mod the piss out of it at no labor cost. a little escort GT with a couple of mods would be pretty fun to drive.

I know how much you want an XR4Ti. There is a guy down the street from me that has one in mint condition, but its an auto

every time I see it I want it more. But its just an overall bad idea right now, a WISE decision on your behalf would be a cheap reliable car. Because it sounds to me like you need better transportation, not a project. Get the escort. you wont be sorry.
