Winter beaters

GF8, or, if you want underpowered shame, G20. Nissan/Infiniti really screwed the pooch with that car. A lot of people do some of the SR20 waps to wake them up, but even with a manual they are underpowered, and can't get out of their own way.

Nah I don't actually want a G20. I bet it'd be hard to sell in the spring.

I was thinking GF8. However, isn't it also fairly "underpowered"? Anything beats 63hp on a Samurai though. I don't particularly need power.

You forgot about the old 2 stroke Samurai's they were a hoot in Japan.

It's mildly underpowered, but that will be coming from a 318iS, you won't hate it all that much, the change from RWD to AWD will balance the loss you'll feel this year, then break out the e30 in spring, and then summer do a ej20g clip swap.

And, you can do a OEM style suspension upgrade for the cost of a e30 m3 5lug.

Haha, that sounds like it'd be a hoot. I like the smell of premix in the morning.

The idea with this car is to buy it, do an oil change and maybe a timing belt change, and drive it. No clip swaps, no suspension swaps, no fussing with something I don't want to fuss with. I already have E30s for that.

I just picked up my winter ride yesterday. an E30 (perfect winter ride)that I traded a bottle of Jack Daniels for--- car is a great M40 nice faded shade of pink. I try to not pay over 400 dollars for a winter car-- then part it the next summer for about 800!!

Mike, Days of uber cheap E30's have passed like the millennium here in the states.

Farbin looked more like the Twinkie type.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Actually, the only gas/convenience store in town closes at 10PM, and the mini-mart closes at 7PM.


Furthermore, I think Tastykakes are an East Coast type thing.

[FredK]

Nobody bakes a cake as tasty as a Tastykake.

But they are definitely a PA/NJ kind of thing, like Wawa and Sheetz, both of which are open WAY later than 7PM.
