go wrong with cheap DD's. I picked up my DD last fall for $1500 with 63k. My first manual car, and the precursor to me deciding to get a manual Z instead of an auto the second time around. It's nice having a car that only needs gas and the occasional oil change, not to mention 30+ mpg. =) I had to add wheels and whatnot to make it "my own", but that's part of the fun.
