Default Finally got a daily driver to help me out on gas prices

I got the most granny car ever. It's a 1987 olds cutlass ciera. The one with the flag emblems on the side. It was my parents old spare car, and they got another one. I got a honey of a deal on it, and the money I will save in gas and wear and tear will pay for the car in no time. I'm going to get some pimp **** for it....you know a small lift kit and 24" spinners(that seems to be the fad with these older cars around here).
The air conditioner and heater work, and the tape player kicks ***(stock olds baby!!!). I'll try to get some pics up for you haters so you can see what its like to pimp MS delta style.

For the record...this thing will go two weeks on a tank of gas driving back and forth to work. I was filling my truck up almost 2 times a week. Plus this hog runs on the good 87 octane, not that weak *** 93 octane required by the truck. Just do the math there.

If you see me rollin on the strip....holla at a playa!!!

Is it the 3.8 v6? That sucker is nice and torquey. My beater Olds Ciera currently has 169,000 on it but it's outside dead right now. Stalled on the way to work this morning. The engine burns oil and the tranny leaks and the power steering rack leaks as well but I get a good 20 mpg out of it.

It's also not as torquey as it was before. LOL! Beside the damn thing rusting to hell it's a damn good beater. Yours may be called a daily driver but mine is definitely a beater. If I throw it away I'll take some pics!

this **** makes me wish i had my old toyota truck.
puke green, 4 cylinder, 5 on the floor, and a good 24 mpg on 87 oct.
the only bad thing about it was the tank only held 10 gallons.
