The Lancia Beta is a bit sad because I've never seen a non coupe due to the huge rust problem. I'd save it. Maybe.

You have no idea how badly I want to jump in that car and go on an existential journey across the continent.

And Bubs, I remember as a kid seeing those Toyota Space Vans around everywhere! Naturally I thought they were hideous and cool at the same time, just like my neighbor's Subaru XT.

I bet I have the nicest looking entry for this thread. My current learn-a-stick car:

Beater since it's running on 3 cylinders.

I know someone who had one of those, but it was blue and an auto. He's had it for five years and thrashed the bejesus out of it, and in that time it also took on the edge of a house and won (long story). It's probably still running around somewhere. You can't kill the damn things.

Those mirrors are standard fitment. Looks like someone's crunched it though.

Yes! The perfect car for hooning around with Wayfarers on, and a cigarette hanging out of your mouth. It just should be dirtier.

Wow... thats a bit... creepy?

But yeah, it was taken on Ocean Pkwy. When ever I visit NYC, I stay a block from where I saw that thing.

My dear beater Accord is now on it's last legs it seems. Something in the rear suspension gave up yesterday and the left rear tire now have a... interesting angle. Ah well, gonna try to fix it atleast, i like that car too much to send it to the junkyard. It might be ugly, but it is... THE MURLOC!

I have a feeling that it moves along quite nicely.

Yeah, that is a rust-proofing sticker. Even though most of the visible rust comes from the half-assed, unfinished rust repairs, it still stands out.

Sad to have to post this here. And RS6 with dealer plates. Probably blown turbo seals.
