Now...did you buy several because of the same reasons as A330Check, or because they broke down or because or "other reasons?"

craigslist looks pretty good as well. Never heard of that place....

Thanks guys. Any more input?

1986 Ford Escort

I may have one coming available in the next month or so.

1986 Ford Escort station wagon
automatic 57,000-ish original miles
cold a/c

It's a straight car in good condition. It was my Grandmothers and sat garaged for many years before I picked it up as an airporter. PM me if you are interested.

Really? Well, then let me welcome you to the internet.

I have an 88 Mazda RX-7 with some minor electrical issues that I'll be looking to shed soon. You can't really fit 20" spinners, so it's pretty car jack proof.

I just don't think you're trying hard enough!

Because teenagers keep wrecking them, so I guess that's "other reasons."

Yikes, I think you can get in real trouble if teenagers are driving your airport car! I know momma wouldn't be pleased, neither would the police!

Well, at least he had his priorities right! A $200 car, $4000 worth of rims/tires and a $5000 stereo!

Actually, I'm local, and the driver in question is my stepson. Given his "sterling" driving record, I refuse to contribute money to anything other than a beater. The one nice car he had was totalled, a while back.
