not a direct question but more of a post to see who would do what....

What car would you start with? what would you do with your money....

You cant go over 1500 and car/parts have to be bought...

So... say car for 500, 1k to spend on preping.

Road legality/insurance are not in the equation

they pop up cheap on ebay now and then, not as desirable as the 205, so they go for less
