Do you drive an old bucket?

Due to increasing gas price, I've recently revived an old car of mine after sitting in my garage for a long 7-8 years. For some reason, I couldn't find it in my heart to sell this one. It's a 1982 Toyota Starlet. It is freaking slow uphill, but such a gas-saver. I think somewhere between 30-50mpg (based on internet research). Doesn't have the bells and whistles like the new cars, but gets the job done. Might even be my next yak carrier.

That has to be related to the AE86 and I wonder how fast it can go downhill!

i fur interested at keeping it as a everyday driver,but want some extra ump.invest some money and drop a 90-93 mr2 motor in it.back when i was street racing these guys drop mr2 motor tune it up they were pushing about 300 hp out of'em,i got a stock 94 del sol with the b16 motor all stock.

Common swaps are 4age engine or the rotary engines from Mazda. There was even this guy who put a Honda S2000 engine in it. I guess possibilities are endless if you have the money and resources.

LOL, sweet!

It's tough to swallow the fact that your hobie is worth more in that picture. Hehe

It all started when Marty went back to the future and opened that garage door. Heres my pile.
