1993 Mazda MX-6 RS, 2.0L I4 5 Speed, bright red, black interior.
I'm considering getting a new daily driver, and if I do, I need to get rid of my current one. Here's a pic:

The good:
I bought this car a year ago and it was a great DD once I got it running right. I have put a lot of money into it, including:
New battery
New distributor
New plug wires
New PCV valve
New air filter
BG fuel system cleaning
Replaced bent rear subframe/sway bar
Replaced taillight wiring harnesses
All new bulbs in taillights
New rear Moog Altima endlinks
New rear drums/shoes
New front rotors/pads
20% Tint
Seat covers (woot woot)
Compression is great, it was 190ish across all 4 last time I checked.
The not so good:
The buyer will not be getting the bronze LS rims in the above picture, they will be getting the stock RS 14s. They will need 2 tires because the messed up rear suspension ate up the rear tires. When I fixed the rear subframe I got an alignment and put the LS rims on it, they belong to my LS as spares, so will stay with me. 14 inch tires are cheap so this isn't a huge deal.

The bad:
I think there's something wrong with the calipers. I replaced the rotors and pads because the car shook when you applied the brakes. A few weeks after replacing everything, it started shaking again, leading me to believe that there is something wrong with the calipers, causing the rotors to warp.
Some asshole smashed into the front of the car when it was parked in front of my house. It still runs and drives fine, it's just not as pretty anymore, they put a huge [fizzle]ing scratch in the front bumper and dented the fender a bit. The turn signal has been replaced:

The previous owner of this car didn't do a good job taking care of it, and I've done my best to restore it to it's former glory. It's a great daily driver, and will be even better once the brakes are all fixed up. I'd fix it myself, but I know I would never recoup the cost.
$750.
