Back in the game... RIP old Mitsubishi Mirage May-05... hello Dodge Colt (de-badged) August-06
I thought I had given up the dream a year ago when I got taken out by a red light running, no insurance, Silverado 1500 but I couldn't shake the bug. I find myself browsing looking at whatever c50's are on the market, in the junkyard, or otherwise to keep myself from being too heartbroken and depressed over having to drive the family Caravan...
After a few fun twisties in the Caravan I found myself missing the Mirage even more... I even beat a Mustang once
Anyhow my parents are predisposed to tripping out on me and started restricting my access to the van for no reason... and thus... BOOM bought a Dodge Colt for myself for 750 bux.
It's daunting to think of all the work I'm going to have to put into it but the body is completely straight, no frame damage, 184k miles on the 4g15 12v and 5 spd... shocks are shot, springs have sprung, a new paint job needed, and a new clutch goes in tomorrow morning... but honestly I haven't had as much FUN muscling the manual steering in parking lots and finessing a finicky clutch that's been ground to bits... needless to say I'm lovin it and I'm glad to be endorsing my own pipe dreams
joyyy
