I wouldn’t go there if you are looking for a something to drive, they are mainly heaps of shit that are donated, all auctions start at 50 bucks and go from there. If you are looking for a car I have a hookup at the auto pound, let me know what kind of car you are looking for and I can maybe get you something you want from there. ---

That in all actuality is what you have to look forward to if you would go there. Think of it this way, what car do you have that you would just give away? I mean for free, minus a little tax reduction. I for one would GIVE away nothing worth anything. Every once in awhile you’ll get something nice but thats about as possible as cutty getting laid by beth (aka mitsugirl) 😃 ---

> _Originally posted by taco_ > **can we have a numerical range on what is “cheap”?** under 2K, but really as low as possible. just something i can pick up ASAP for cheap to get me through the summer, then re-evaluate. maybe keep it, maybe upgrade. ---
