Went down to my college roommate's new place for a party Saturday night, and a friend of ours' said he had a 94 Mazda Miata that he was gonna sell cheap on Criagslist... but that I could have it if I promised not to flip it. A stroke of good luck considering I bought a 98 Dakota (with a 5 speed, V6) two weeks ago and couldnt get it to complete a drive cycle and pass inspection.
I picked it up Sunday morning before he could come to his senses.
I have a new muffler on the way because it sounds like a slammed down Honda at the moment. Need to drill a broken valve cover bolt, fix that leak, clean it up, change oil and coolant, and take care of some of the larger interior blemishes, as well as the beginning of rust/rot on the rocker panels and the crunched fender. Still, not bad for a free car! I've never had this much fun on 4 wheels.
