Well first off, I don't want any comments about me being stupid, an idiot or whatever. It's my car, it was cheap and it IS indeed a pure beater.

And some pictures....

My ES and my buddies 96 Explorer

And of course the mandatory flex shot....

Can you tell I would much rather have something with 4 wheel drive?

Pretty good shape for a ES250.

N.E.O.

It looks decent from a distance but if you saw it up close you'd see what I'm talking about. Rust all around the flanges on both windshields, the tranny (auto) is almost toast, the dash is cracked like crazy and so is the windshield and I haven't done any of that to it. And it also has an insane exhaust leak if you couldn't tell from the videos, alt is about to go as well as the PS pump. I honestly don't find this car worthwhile enough to replace those parts so I just beat on it. I've tried selling it many times too but to no avail I'm still stuck with it. I hate that damn thing.

You can always part it out.

N.E.O.

I can, but I really can't. I'm 600 miles away from home at college and the gay ass apartment complex I live at won't even let us change our oil here. Let alone let me part out a car. And plus I have to have something to drive. Being poor sucks ass.

Now I can understand why you are doing what you are doing!

Well, if that is the case and depending on where you are at with your school, you might want to at least make it last until you graduate!

Good Luck!

N.E.O.

I'm gonna try to make it last. I didn't break anything.

The transmission slipping is just getting worse and worse. Damn autos!!!

Ye, i bought my car and its been in 2 accidents already, neither my fault. I was going to fix it up, but since i just keep getting hit by idiots, its not even worth it, and ill just keep it as a college beater.

250for750 · 12-16-2008, 12:50 PM

I hear ya man. Sometimes having a college beater is inevitable. I just hope my tranny stays in one piece. I have to drive 600 miles South back to my homestead in a few days!!!! And then back in early January!

Oh yeah, and the latest photoshop of your car looks SICK with those wheels!!
