I’ve spent countless hours on Craigslist, and looking through local auto Trader magazines, but with no luck. Not only do I want a solid vehicle, but I want something I can work on, and turn into a real beast sometime down the line.

Our Corolla

My stepfather currently drives a heavily modified 1998 Toyota Corolla. It’s not the best vehicle out there, but the stock safety features combined with the numerous upgrades makes it a real monster. Unfortunately, my stepfather’s love of Corollas has sort of dragged me into the Toyota market. While they’re nice vehicles, I’m looking for something a little more tuner friendly. If you have any suggestions please fire away an email or leave a comment, your opinion is greatly appreciated. As everything stands, I have about $3000 to drop on a vehicle, so I want something that will last at least two years.
