so im a senior in HS and i have about 2 months before schools out. i figure i can save around 800 dollars. im goin to a school thats about 4 hours away, gf going to school far away. on the weekends i may go see her. my car likes to break,
so i was thinking......
my friend just got a working ef (1990-1991 civic hatchback) for a couple hundred dolllars. hmmm... seems like i can find a local ef hatch for 300-400 dollars. then maybe a engine and trans for 200-300 and have a nice little car thats reliable, good gas mileage, cheaper insurance, hopefully no power options (breaking power mirror/door lock switches on the mustang now) to drive to school, where my fresly painted mustang can sit at home and be safe. i dont want it to get hurt, thefore dont want to take it to school.
biggest problem - talking parents into it, there lazy, and finding a place to store my mustang.
what do you think of my idea? park 15 mpg car, get cheap hatch civic. from here until end of school i estimate to have saved about 800 dollars, only want to spend maybe 600 though to have some set aside for school. then i have all summer to work on it, and work to make more money to take to school with me.
what are the things that can hurt my car from sitting so long. id put it on blocks, and a flannel sheet, cover, and tarp. i wont do it if it will hurt my car from sitting so long......
let me know what you think about this idea, im just thinking it will be better for my gas expenses, and to preserve my mustang.
