The only issue is, again, mandatory insurance, which can result in a pretty hefty fine if I don't have insurance and I get into a crash. And if I do get insurance, that's an extra 300 for 6 months of insurance for it.

That's not a good thing.

Look into a crown vic. They are dirt cheap to insure, body on frame, RWD, and most importantly, they are so god drat common, the car and the parts are dirt cheap. Quite a few goons own them, and other than mediocre to poor gas mileage, they are nothing short of solid.

Toyota Echo's are also dead rear end reliable and lump into that "feed it gas and change the oil" category.

Boring beaters are never a bad thing. Or you could do it my way and rely on a variety of British cars.

Reading this thread makes me feel better about myself and my life decisions.

I mean, I willingly buy British cars and still have made less terrible choices than the op. That's pretty bad.

The 94-00 mustang gts are going for peanuts right now. Seriously a decent one is going for 3-5k, plenty fast, and the 94-95 came with the 5.slow and the later models had the 4.6.

The autocrosses here were dominated for a long time by a guy in a stock Dodge Omni GLH-S.

loving Omni's are a blast. I never did experience the GLH models, but my buddy had one in high school and it was an absolute blast to hoon around in.

From what I know, they were pretty tunable. Nothing exciting, but it was a fairly lightweight car.

I have always wanted a Spirit R/T, the Turbo 3 was a kick rear end motor.
