I know nothing about them, but another good option is a Jeep Cherokee. They're usually pretty cheap, I see alot of them for under a grand, and they're super easy to work on, and parts are really cheap too.

They just suck on gas.

I read the title of this thread and first thought...Why don't you just beat her yourself. I think I could use some counseling...lol

**Ramairgod84** · 07-13-2010, 02:01 PM

You drive a 02 Vette and a 01 WS6 and the GF gets a CRX.... she must really be in love with you.

I can't offer services outside my state due to legal travel restrictions but what I can tell you is that I have a very nice like-new wooden baseball bat for sale.

Help her find a job...drive her there while she saves money...make her buy her own car, gas, insurance. In that order.

I was thinking of a "wife beater" undershirt...

Why is she leaving the kitchen anyway?????

**95camaroZNC** · 07-13-2010, 06:21 PM

Id help her find a job first and car pool if possible.

I think your being cheap... then again unless she was my wife I wouldn't be buying her a car.

**Ramairgod84** · 07-14-2010, 09:39 AM

The reason is that she recently moved here from canada, and because of immigrations, she cant work for another few months. Hence she has little money and no way of getting a job. So I thought I'd get her something small thats fuel efficient, and cheap to insure, since i'd be paying gas, insurance, getting it inspected, etc. It's not im being cheap, its me getting her something temporary so that she can eventually get to work and back until she can get a car of her own. If i had the few grand to get her a good car, then i would, but im trying to look at something temporary, so if a few months down the road it dies, then its no big deal, and i wont have to shell out hundreds of dollars to get it fixed.

That 82 Camaro looked good, and if anything you can keep it when it takes a shit and make it into a darn good car!
