I needed some wheels after relocating from the nyc to south FL, so I started searching craigslist.
My first choice was a really clean '82 Starlet I found on CL - SOLD. Noooooooooooooo
This caused me to enter into a deep depression, but I continued my search for some form of transport.
I saw VW golf that was ready for death, a Civic that looked like it had sat in the ocean for a few weeks, and really nothing else was in my price range.
My price range? FAK! I HAVE NO MONEY!
The depression continues.
In my desperation I scoured Craigslist every hour in search of that Starlet. We had been thru a lot together.
She didnt know me yet but those hours I spent looking at her pictures still hold a special place in my heart.
I may as well been trying to figure out a square root or what the little numbers above and to the right of the big numbers mean.
While pondering the reasons god hates me I remembered a site that I used before craigslist for auto shopping and took a surf over to autotrader.
I did a search for something like 75 - 90 toyota in hopes of finding my baby starlet. NADA. but what is this? Its definitely no Starlet but it is a toyota and a hatchback
After a quick test ride, I wasnt allowed to drive it, and some intense tire kicking I asked my aunt for some cash and purchased this little red she-devil.
Everything seemed ok in my ignorance.
I had noticed some rust under the car but how bad can a little rust be? *uncontrollable nervous laughter/seizures

) it doesn't hurt. Besides it's better to be safe then 
sorry
