Would you buy a CITI Golf? MK1 revamp in South Africa
MASantos, our old hot rods circulate because they passed safety standards as new vehicles - that is, they met the standards of the 60s and 70s, and are not re-tested with each change in safety regulations. Now, certainly without significant changes to the design of the chassis, I don't think...- plus_c

iphone unlockers needed
Sorry dude, but you're out of luck. Unlocking software is not going to help you. AT&T's network (and consequently your iPhone) runs on the GSM standard, Verizon is CDMA. Your best bet is to switch to AT&T to use the iPhone, or to sell the iPhone.- plus_c

Good choices, I think. A couple of suggestions: 1. You won't find a WRX within your budget. They're just too new (oldest model is something like a 2003), it won't happen. 2. I would be very very careful with that modded Prelude. Because of the extensive work that he's done (i.e. cams...- plus_c

I wouldn't be recommending a swapped anything for the OP for a couple reasons - for one, reliability will be a complete unknown as you have no idea of the engine's history pre-swap (not to mention the inevitable swap gremlins and shortcuts taken during the swap...), and secondly, forget about...- plus_c

Recommend me a sports car
I owned an old Audi quattro-equipped car once. It was a great car - but heaven help you if you have to make major repairs! And when we're talking the vintage the car would be to fit in the OP's price range, boy are we talking about major repairs...- plus_c

Wow, hell hath no fury... As much as I'd love a Lambo at that price, I wouldn't be able to afford the oil changes, let alone a more major repair...- plus_c

The fact that you live in Maine complicates things a little bit - under other circumstances, the Miata would be a natural choice, but an RWD soft-top convertible in the wintertime in Maine would not be so great. I'd be looking at simpler sporty cars with good aftermarket support and cheap parts...- plus_c

88 awd camry or 92 acura legend
When you're talking about used cars at that age, maintenance history takes much more importance than initial reliability. Take the car that has the more complete maintenance record. Also, I'm thinking it might be cheaper just to have the exhaust fixed on your current car...- plus_c

Best movie nobody else has ever seen...
Wow, based on the responses in this thread about Time and Tide, I guess that one wasn't as much under the radar as I originally thought. Whoever mentioned Oldboy is right - what a disturbing movie...but despite the disturbing plot (or maybe because of it?) it was a gripping movie...- plus_c
