Well that free rear bumper turned slightly more expensive really quickly. Nice score though, interesting he have it to you though.
Looks like you have got that thing going in the right direction and looking real good man.
So for anyone who is interested, my truck got T-boned on the 20th and was totalled. $5640 in damage to the driver's side. that said I'm going to sell the bumper and shackles, if anyone in the denver area is interested.

IMO, if you're going to go economy don't spend very much money. A wrx sounds expensive when you're thinking economy.
RoadWarrior, If you want it I will definitely sell it to ya, I was thinking like 350 and shipping would be on you. As for another ride, I could get an X, the thought has certainly crossed my mind. It would never be the same though, it would be hard to compete with numero uno. The going rate in Denver for a totalled red 2001 Xterra with a 3.3L and a 5 speed is $6800. But at 11mpg with a tail wind of 100mph going down hill it's a hard sale. I'm about to graduate highschool and I'm going to have to move out. My family is losing our house due to some financial stuff regarding jobs and lack of education on the parental front.... GO TO COLLEGE!.... That said my mother is moving back to Texas which is something I'm not going to participate in, so I'm thinking something a little more economical might be a good plan. Not an econobox, but something that sticks to the pavement and gets more MPG's like a WRX. Less smiles per gallon I'm sure though. Also @Macland. Everyone was fine, it was a drivers side collision in the middle of the B pillar. Both doors, the pillar and the rocker were crushed beyond repair. Fortunately I had my sliders on there, however home made and terrible they looked, they were rock solid and offered some standoff. I'll get you a photo.
well, no one will hate you unless you get a prius lol. oh crap....you're getting a prius :/ and i can live without the supercharger whine because i don't want my engine to get corrosion. superchargers start corroding over time. i mean, it takes 10-15 years before you even realize it, and it's not enough to mess anything up at that point; but it's just the principle.I am not going to get a rex... I had one lined up and the guy flaked. Need I point out though that while 20-25mpg isn't super high, it's better than, I don't know, 11 that the X got. Now all that said I have found a suitable replacement for the X... I'm looking tomorrow. You guys are going to hate me if I get it. Also, yes turbos are far and away superior to superchargers although you can't get the same whine out of a turbo... boost problems

What if he supercharged the Prius? HUH HUH?!
No no no, I was going to make the ultimate SAS and get an 85 4runner, however it was a bit of a POS. Actually it was a lot of one. So I made a solid call not to buy a project truck in high school with no garage or tools to work on it. besides basic stuff that is. I am getting rather upset though with peoples lack of forthrightness on the proper condition of their junk. I am no seriously considering buying a datsun, more specifically a 280zx that I test drove about a week before my wreck. I am first going to pursue the slightly more expensive one though that is still owned by the original owner and has the digital dash. Straight out of the 80's =D. By the way a blower would work on a prius. they produce 90hp and a normal little s/c 12 or 13 from toyota only takes about 20 to spin up. ALSO, sold the bumper and shackles for a cool 500. the CL is sick.
