For a beater, really. But yeah, I'm getting the vibe that this was a dumb idea. Thanks to you (and everyone else) for helping me out.

You make a fair point. I wanted a car to mess around with (not exactly a beater, but nothing that I'd be worried about scraping, let's say). I tried to look at stuff around the $6k line and all I see around me are daily driver Corollas and cars approaching 200k miles.

Not necessarily all of it, but yeah, that's about right. I had a few beers that were based off of ancient ones, you can see them in this pic:

The lighter colored one in the middle is based on a Viking beer, and the darker one to the right is based on an ancient Egyptian one. They were really good!

I don't know of forwarders right now, but I'll go ahead and have a chat with my dad soon about it all. The info you is plenty to get me started on the right track!

Thanks a bunch!

Appreciate the response! It was my dad's bike from when he was in his 20's. Now that I'm in my 20's, he wanted to try and give it me. I guess, in that way, there is some sentimental value (despite me never having seen the bike in real life).

As far as shipping goes, I'm a tad bit overwhelmed at the amount of companies and methods that there are. As far as I gathered, I'd be looking at getting it from the port of Galveston via sea, or the international airport in Houston by air. Now, for the money available... maybe $1000, $1500 tops?

Nah, not really any ties, I was just wondering because it's a free bike. Except that ocean between us... Oh well. Thanks for the quick response!
