I'm putting together an '88 924S for DE right now. The fuel pump went out on my $1400 e36 today at lunch. I'll fix it in the parking garage after work. I guess that means my hobbies include wrenching on german junk, playing synth rock twee core, snowboarding, running, and writing.

On craigslist, you can sometimes find cars that are in dire need of repair and as such need hauled away. For example for 1k flat:

1975 porsche 914 2.0 partially dissaembled, has rust issues, complete car with rebuildable motor and transaxel, many new parts also has origanal fuel injection system intact.
