Well shit, tell your clone to stop by the used car dealership near my house. I think the guy said $3600, its a V6 5spd 93 2dr shadow, has aluminum wheels and new paint (red), some power stuff, and the interior looks nice. Its a nice looking car besides being way overpriced.

And actually it is debadged, I had to stop and ask what it had.

Me: "hey what kind of engine does that shadow have, a 2.2/2.5 or a V6"
Mechanic: "its a V6, why what kind are you looking for"
Me: "2.2/2.5 Turbo"
Mechanic: "we stay away from selling turbo ones, just one more thing to break"

Oh well I plan to drive by a place on OBT sometime next week. I saw a 89 Shelby Daytona there. Seems like it has been there forever, maybe its cheap.

Other than that the K has an appointment on Monday to get checked out/inspected so as to find out whats causing all the noise. I decided to get an outside opinion before I go wasting another head gasket and replacing pistons.
