Default Not C4 related :D my new DD (picture)
I thought my Vette was ready so I sold my DD. Turns out it needs some fine tuning before I can drive it. So I was looking for a reliable driver that got good gas mileage.
I bought a 1991 Mercury Capri from the original owner with 95k.
The best part.. 30 miles per gallon with the top down

$1100.00 It has a 12 inch or so crack in the back window and the drivers fender has a dent. everything works but the A/C.
I guess i have to Join a Capri forum and ask about an air foil and top.
What do you think of the user name "Hokie83capri"?

Great buy man! I believed in making my boys (we have 3 of them) buy there first car. We gave them $500 each to put towards a car but they got jobs and did the rest on their own. We shopped around for cars in the $1500 range. I would have loved to find something like that.

I was going to buy a 94 Formula Firebird for $2800 With a rebuilt engine. The gas was my deciding factor.
I also need the other 1900 to rebuild the trans in the Vette.

$1.01/ Litre. Seeing a litre is almost equal to a US Quart, times it by 4.
Of course we just had a long weekend, so it should drop back to .99 cents, yeah right!
