Bike but beware of rain. Still got the Tib or did you get rid of it?
Early 90s Grand Ams are cheap to find and last a long time. But sounds like you want something kinda sporty still.

Low budget + any Rx-7 = Bad idea.
Personal experience right here. I've rebuilt the engine (costs around $1300) rebuilt the transmission, fought electrical problems, battled all kinds of weird problems. They're not good for daily drivers, and the mileage is terrible. So if you're looking for a cheap, reliable DD that is fun, an old sports car isn't the way to go. However, if you're like me and want a car to play with, that'd be my first choice.

im getting to much of a good deal on this car only costing me 650 and he could easily sell it for more with the condition he has it in. i just wish i could have kept my rd2 since i invested so much into her
