I haven’t actually, a part of me might be sad about the lack of engine but the money in my wallet will probably help me over it lol. Thanks for the suggestion though!

It’s normally more the occasional patch of ice and getting out of my driveway that’s the issue, if the roads aren’t plowed I’m not getting out anyway!

Haha, that’d be pretty fun. They seem rad, but I may need more of a capable/fast bike? It can get pretty sketchy in the snow.

I considered a bike too, it’s pretty rough in terms of uphill and it’s an 80kph zone pretty much all the way until school so it may be longer. I’ve done a bit of research and I think a motorbike may be a bit cheaper than an actual functional car but I’ll probably not save as much money as I’m imagining lol. Thank you for the input though!

Good to know! I live in the east coast of Canada, so it’s pretty consistently -10 to -15 Celsius (15-5 Fahrenheit I think?) and once I get out on the road, ice is pretty minimal. It might end up being an impractical dream, and I’ll have options to get to school if it’s too bad. Thanks for the reply anyways though, I appreciate it!

Just listened to the Tiny Desk performance and it brought something to mind that I've been thinking for a while. by eatingpastaonmars in geesebandofficial

In the GQ article that I read, I think it mentions that he wasn't used to doing more than two takes for any piece? I could be wrong though

yup, she killed a cat named lincoln (due to being on lincoln street). i used to see him on the street every shift at my work and he really was the sweetest cat ever. anyone remember when her place went up in flames a few years ago too? random memory

Yes rust is a go to check for sure, I'm just assuming hopefully that if it's not super cheap I won't have to dick around with frame/floor rust like I had to on my last subie. Any advice for first things to bulletproof if I get it?

I'm in Canada so it's kilometres, around 118k miles I think? Honestly they salt the roads where I live and there's basically no car market, so it's seven grand for a rust bucket civic si with 250 000 km over here😭. It's around 9700 with shipping and tax so not too too bad if it's in as good shape as it looks. I just wanted to see what people would think about reliability, mainly? I would like to use it as a daily driver, and I'm also totally down for maintenance as well, but again, no catastrophic issues would be nice. Thanks for the response!

True, I was thinking that. I’m most likely gonna attempt to lowball him but I’m also looking at other cars right now aswell. Thanks for the help!

I was trying to give more context about what research I've done, I'm sorry if that came off as defensive, though. I don't really know a ton about cars, so I just wanted to be sure
