Ok...I see this straying off in a bunch of directions...so to clarify:

1. I paid nothing for the car, price was towing it home on my trailer.
2. The $1400 was total invested into the car to bring it to where it is today going down the road daily as my commuter, including some non necessary cosmetic fixes.
3. It is not for sale.

It unfortunately is not a manual, nor a turbo, much as I wish it was both, but still is nice to have and drive.
