you probably know what i would get.....a Turbo Dodge! :icon_lol:

hell, even a FWD Chrysler with a NA TBI & 5-speed.  very very easy to work on, good gas mileage, built to last and at the same time parts everywhere in the j/y only because Chrysler made so freakin' many of them.  there are all kinds of cars FS on turbododge.com for cheap.

i thought you wanted to save money for your TGP?  it may be free but it sounds like you'll be spending money on a Mazda instead.  i'd hold out for something that runs.

well seeing as i got it for free, lol, i need somthing else to drive to save money, Filling this pig up at 3$ a gallon every other week or less and 170$ a month insurance, plus i cant drive it while i work on it, get the wheels done, and what not so i need another car. I will have this thing running for 250$ or less. This car has a brand new clutch, CV joints, radiator, speakers, newer tires, 4 studded snow tires.

You're going to replace that head yourself? What about anything else that's worn out w/ 320k on the clock?
Sounds like a money pit, even if it was free.
