That's what I'm thinking about. I am narrowing my search down and the Saturn SC coupes and Escorts & ZX2 are turning up some nice low mileage cars at very good prices. Sadly, every time I find one that looks to be a keeper, it has an automatic trans. I'll keep beating the bushes, the right car is out there. Station wagons are turning up some of the best deals and I am not opposed to using one for my project as it would be good for going fishing. Bensenvill has taken lightening up his car to the extreme which is terrific. I will need to leave a passenger seat in mine for periodic trips to bring my son home.

Speaking of fishing, last year I put together an eco-bassboat. I used a Lowe 1448 hull and run it with a 15 hp mariner 4 stroke. I can fish hard all day and use less than 1 1/2 gallons.
