I showed up in a 500 bucks 1988 Suzuki Forsa(Swift) Turbo, with NO muffler, rusted body panel when I first met my GF(needless to say, her friends were disgusted and laughed at me)..... needless to say, she has both of her eyes wide open when I showed up in my 400SE and picked her up for her high school graduation party...
I always like how a beater can pin-point gold-digging chix....
And 500 bucks beater is just a right car for the job...
