is it just me or does anyone else feel happy driving small cheap asian beater cars? like i love them because the fact that they are small and simple, and im continually fascinated by the simplicity of (some, not all) of the engineering,

i currently have a green 1999 corolla with 316k kms i got for $950, ive been driving it for 1.5 years, manual windows and door locks, no A/C. i also had a manual 1993 tercel coupe but it broke down.

id love to get a little echo or a rio/rio5, accent, or spectra pre-2010 for my next car.
