5 Sub-$2k 'Cheap Car Challenges' For US Petrolheads - Car Throttle
You know, the cars that may or may not be started via screwdriver in the ignition. the cars that have at least one window that won’t go down, or one door that won’t open. And I’m willing to bet the vast majority of you have owned at least one such car in your life, if not several. For people who truly love cars, there’s something oddly endearing about getting to know the unique quirks of a cheap car, at least for a little while. it’s why I’ve owned 30 cars in the last 15 years, and it’s why I keep searching for new cheap car adventures every single day. We can’t all drive high-end exotics, but most of us can find $2000 or so for a cheap beater with some potential for fun. Drive it, wrench on it, fall in love with it, and if you chalk up more successes than failures in a few months, pass it on and make a few bucks in the process. That’s right—it’s cheap car challenge time, and these five quirky vehicles have all the key ingredients: low price, availability of parts, relatively simple maintenance, and the most important ingredient of all, fun factor. I’m not necessarily opposed to a Civic cheap car challenge, but the two-seat CRX just has a bit more fun factor for me. They are ridiculously light so it doesn’t take much motor to really make them move, and if you just want to stick with the... You might even get lucky in your search and find an already-swapped pocket rocket like this 1991 b16 CRX in Chicago. Source: www.carthrottle.com
