My best, is the silver car in my sig. $250 ran like a champ, but pretty damaged passenger side. I wanted it so I had a spare engine and trans. I'm up quite a bit from parting it out plus the fact that I have spare parts of stuff I wanted engine/trans starter alternator some misc. interior pieces I needed.

I bought a nice little 14b turbo from Casbon for something like 25 or 50 bucks or something stupid. Still haven't used it for nothing...but I could pass up the deal. LOL

Junior year of high school I got a GS eclipse and a few months down the road a flat bed tow truck rear ended me and totaled it. I bought the GS for $12k and ended up getting $13k after the accident. I used that money to buy my GS-T and still had some money left over to do a little modding. A nice little upgrade IMO
