    Thanks to @snap I have a new commuter for my wife!  It's a 2000 Toyota Avalon with 103k miles!  To no surprise it was owned by an elderly woman who was awesome.  She's a dancer on the Bucks senior team and told us hilarious stories while we looked at the car.  I ended up getting it for $3500 which was $0 less than they were asking because i'm not shitty and it was already a great deal.

      It's big, smells like an elderly person, it's boring, turn in is terrible, the exhaust note is almost non existent, it's looks extremely bland and it's slow.  BUT these are all things my wife cares absolutely nothing about so it's a win for me.  In hindsight I should have just bought her the Cayenne Turbo she's always lusted after and had her take the bus from Janesville to Chicago then pick up the next bus to Milwaukee and from there she could pick up another bus to Brookfield.

              It's a bit buzzy, but I think it will work. Hopefully next weekend I'll have the car together enough to take it for a spin around the neighborhood to see how it sounds under normal driving. I was also happy that the engine actually started and ran fine as it's been sitting for ~2 1/2 years... The car's still a hot mess, but hopefully I'll be able to start getting things put back together and sorted out as the weather starts to get nicer.

                  The lack of consistent 50+ degree days in the forecast is not conducive to car culture

                        I'd probably only own summers if my car spent as much time in a storage unit as yours did. [emoji14]

                            With all the uro parts you order I figured yours stayed in storage just as much as mine

                                          Brought the e30 out two days ago, needed a jump but then rode fantastically for about 1.5 miles :)

                                          Check engine light comes on every time I push in the clutch, idle occasionally brings the car to redline, tach and odometer failed, and my oil pan appears to be crying.

                                          Overall I'm quite pleased!
