He heads up to PA. I definitely want to run up with him this summer when school's out.

I've got a great market to sell to. High school kids want cheap beater cars to get from point A to point B. For now I'm going to stick with cars that I can buy for under $1,000 and sell for $2k+.

That money will go towards college, and mods.

Mods that I might look into should I gain a few extra bucks will be coil overs, wheels, ATC, exhaust, 97+ conversion, and paint. Clean and classy, nothing too overdone. Might consider working on the interior. I just can't justify changing out a mint, 45,000 mile interior for a new one just yet.
