- I need to get another car, strictly for in-town commuting. I'd like to get
- something that's EASY & Cheap to work on myself. I have a decent amount of
- knowledge about "how" various systems work, and am basically familiar with
- the various parts, but haven't done a lot of actual working myself. I want
- this to change!
-
- Could the net gods offer their wisdom on this matter?
-
- I was thinking something simple... like probably no fuel injection, older
- with minimal pollution control eqpt, something straightforward to work on.
- Maybe VW Bug? American honest-to-gosh V-8 vehicle (which one, though)?
-
- Thanks in advance for any help!
