It's time to quit having a Project/Daily and get a regular daily.
A culmination of many things have affected this decision:
1.) My work is going to require me to drive to Atlanta twice a week and while I don't have any doubts the GN could do it I don't want to rack those miles on the car. Plus I'd want gas mileage in the 30+ mpg.
2.) We have a house, car payment, day care, bills, credit cards, etc. Anyone with a family understands they need "wiggle" room in savings.
3.) I'm picky. To get the car how I want it would cost upwards of $20K... did I say I'm picky? That's not happening in this point of my life.
The Bad:
1.) It has a small rear main leak.... like 2 drops a day small.
2.) The driver seat has a tear in it.
3.) It needs paint and body work. It's a good 20 footer. My friend has a phenomenal body/paint guy that said he'd do the car for 3200-3400 dollars. He'll need it for a month but this includes closing in the aftermarket sun roof, fixing 1 rust hole and taking it down to the metal and starting all over. The exterior rubbers are cracked. I'll include all of this in the pics.
The Good:
