I sold my Jeep and I needed a sub $6k dependable daily driver that was a smooth comfy highway cruiser for my road trips, with all of the power goodies and a sunroof. I've always liked these cars. 93 Acura Legend, purchased new locally in Boulder, one Boulder owner, 110k miles. I wanted white, and preferred cloth. The cloth was a bonus as most of these were leather, but at this age, cracked and crappy looking. When I found this 5 spd, my search was over. These are nice cars in automatics, and I was looking at other cars, but I kept coming back to this one. It's got a few scratches and dings, but the interior is mint and the mechanicals are in excellent shape and very clean.

Dude, that's a sweet ride! And a stick!

I wonder if my new daily driver's mill would fit into a 914????

Up to 450hp on the stock internals! Booyah!

Later,
Tom

I can pick on both of you.

Clay... you're still euro-trash with your water pumper.

Gint... what happened? Someone cut off your balls and you had to sell your Jeep? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Looks like it is in great shape.

You should get many miles of comfy driving in that. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)

I had a Corrado G60... loved it.

I'm offically 40+ now. 4 doors and reliable comfort are sounding pretty good to me. This ride is smoooootthhhhhh........... The Jeep was like a buckboard wagon.

Oh and Clay, you're still a euro trash, water pumpin, rear wheel drivin (fine in Tex-ass, but I'm in Colorado) stubbie. 'sides, if I remember right, I think I said it was a nice car.

Thanks. Say what you want. It starts every time I turn the key, doesn't rust, leak or leave parts lying on the ground in it's wake.

And it won't require a $40k+ "rusto".

Nice new ride Mike - especially with the stick! I especially like the look of the 2-doors of that body style.
