Cars

Well, you gotta say what you want out of your car. If you are looking for gas mileage, Then yes I'd say grab a civic, or even a prelude, Integra, CRX etc, they all get well into the 30's gas highway mileage and it's fucking great.

If you're looking for something with decent gas mileage but you need a bed (a truck..) Then get you a mid 90's even 2000/2001 Chevy S10 / Ford Ranger, with little money you can make these cars have seriously loud systems for under 400 bucks.. Literally.

I have thought about building my own little racecar using either An older model Nissan Sentra (92-93) or even a Civic, you can get either cars with a blown motor For roughly 1,000 with a good enough chassis (the body itself, what it rolls on) and build from there. Take it to a shop, have them ship you a racing motor (1,200-1,700) + installation, and for about 4 grand you can have something turbo'd, very easily....
