Commuter cars

So, after spending hours looking at Toyotas, I’ve finally made the big step to the commuter car market. The very first car I’ve owned that didn’t have a V8. No, it wasn’t a Toyota. It wasn’t even from the last decade. Found myself a nice 1992 LX 2.3 Litre manual. Hoping it shows an improvement over my Tahoe. I drive about 80 kilometers round trip each day and I kept telling my wife that the gas was killing me. She didn’t want to get into payments again. Well, I got the LX so cheap that there are no payments. It even came with a bunch of benefits. Hope those of you left out there won’t mind the story. Thought it was pretty good: I was driving home with my three kids, and their two cousins, when I saw this four banger LX driving in front of me. I commented on how cool it looked as someone had taken old GT wheels (the ones with fins) and put them on the LX. They had big and little tires on that gave it a kicked in the ass look. It made the car look like a V8. It was also that cool Calypso Green. Anyway, I’ve been looking for a black interior for my SSP (yes, I keep all the original parts). I said to my son, “I wonder what the chances are that it has a black interior?”. Well, guess what? It was black. There was an older man driving it and he had the windows down. I pulled up beside him and yelled “Nice car”. He yelled back “You want to buy it” and that was it. We pulled over, I took it for a test drive, and a short time later he was leaving with a cheque. The guy had come to Edmonton to retrieve the car from the Edmonton Police Service seizure compound. He had the receipt for $1086.00 in storage and towing. He told me that an employee of his had been arrested in the car. I now believe him after cleaning it out. There were about a million roaches between the seats. Not in bad shape overall and my fourteen year old son is really excited because he knows he’ll be able to drive this one. My wife didn’t even get mad. She said it was “kinda cool” which I take as a good sign. Hope to get it running good for winter and maybe get a few years of use out of it. Not sure how the mileage will pan out but it’s a great looking car regardless. Even if it’s crap, I figure I paid less than I would’ve for the black interior alone. Will put up a couple photos once I get home again. I have the complete photos of the RCMP 135th anniversary Crown Vics and will try to post them asap. It's been made public so how much shit can I get?
Take care.
