My neighbour has a 1987 Chevette, automatic :notnice: that they want to get rid of. The body is in great shape, just needs the engine tweeked. They told me I could take it for free, so I think that is going to be my new daily driver. :bang:

Stop it, I can hear you laughing. I don't like puting 50 kms a day on my 05 (I'm already over 10k on it) plus worrying about door dings etc., so I think this will be a great thing. I could park the Mustang in a nice warm, dry garage for the winter and drive the crap out of a beater.


I will miss the 05 on the daily commute the odd time, but traffice stinks during rush hour and the Stang never gets to stretch it's legs anyway.

I have another autocross event on this Sunday, so the Stang will run free for a little bit. Man, those are fun to take part in!


Okay.......MY FLAME SUIT IS ON!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I once drag raced an empty school bus in my buddies Chevette.........and lost! In fairness, there were two of us in the Chevette. Those were the days.

 

Pimp it .. lol.

 

Wow. You sure didn't screw around when you decided to get a "beater" did you?

 

I don't blame ya one bit! I have a little 4 cylinder truck that I SHOULD be driving everyday. Thing is, I have a hard time prying myself away from the stang.

I'm getting better, I actually did drive my truck once this week. Baby steps

 

If I were you, I would contact MTV and see if Xzibit can Pimp your Ride! I dont think they have done a Chevette yet. Haha.

 

No, I don't think they've done a Chevette, but they've done possiblt the only car worse: A Pacer! :shock:

 

I don't blame you. I'm in the same situation. I got me a nice little 6 cyl Ranger to use as my beater/daily driver. I'm trying to keep the Stang as a nice weather car only. So far the only time it has been wet is when I wash it. I don't know if my windsheild wipers even work. Haven't tried them and don't plan to.

 

Well at least now you can say that you drive a Vette.

 

OMG! LMAO! My first new car was a 1984 Chevette. I bought it in November 1984. Same year I graduated high school. No radio or cassette until I got my tax refund. Never did get a/c installed. One of the funny things was there was no door for the glove box. Don't ask why, I have no idea. Cost-saving by Chevy?
Dark blue metallic. I could go anywhere on 10.00 a week in gas. I drove it for 3 1/2 yrs and it had 48,000 miles on it when I traded it in.

 

 

Some tinted windows, rims, and a stereo system, and you will be good to go!!!


















I tried to keep a straight face.........but you cant beat FREE.....!!

 

I Can see the window sticker now...


MY OTHER CAR IS A CHEVETTE....

hahahahahaha

 

Free is nice,
Gas mileage great, (dollar a liter?)
Treating your Mustang as special, No Flame Here.

 

I'm getting a 88 Crown Vic for free to be my daily driver. I've had my car for about 2 1/2 months and already have 6400 miles on it.

 

Gas went up yesterday here to $104.9 a liter!!! So I forgot to add the gas savings is also a great thing. But....one bad thing (there are a few) is a Chevette is almost like a scooter, and you know what they say about scooters and fat chicks!!

 

And to think...I just sold my 84 Subaru GL so that I wouldn't be insuring 4 cars. I could have given that to you too! What fun you could have had pimping that ride!!!

 

I have a 95 Civic that I paid $2200 for, while I was waiting for the Mustang (and after I sold my Acura). I love having that thing, I work downtown, so I'm glad I don't have to have the Mustang subjected to that. Or going to the grocery store and parking 1.2 miles from the store. Not to mention I get 39 mpg average on every tank of gas. I say go for it!

 

Flame you? Heck no! Driving an '88 Chevette around to protec your Mustang is a giant sacrifice! You should be given a medal!

 

The entire time I was reading the original post, I kept thinking to myself, wow I'd like to have an 87 corvette as a daily driver and free to boot. Then I realized that's not the type of vette
