Re: <WOB> Cheap cars

[Mike Stukalin <mikest@xxxxxxx>]

Well, a couple thoughts. For between $2 and $3K you can pick up a descent
1st generation MR2 and have an absolute blast. I highly recommend an '85 as
they handle better than other years.
As far as stolen 325, did you not purchase it just recently? Pity, indeed.
Was insurance involved? Was it stolen from RIT lot? If so, maybe they will
chip in, as their rent-a-cops should be patrolling the lots in theory
rather than hang around the Hess station on Jefferson.
Finally, there's always a job flipping burgers at Ritz (sorry).
