Variations On A Theme

Meet Emma
She's a 1993 Toyota Tercel DX that we picked up for $895 after tax, title and licensing.

1500cc's of Electronic Fuel Injected Fury, pushing out a mind-boggling 82hp (28 more than Maggie)
The only drawback, automatic transmission (seats are surprisingly comfortable, although the car feels much more cramped than the Metro)

Pakistani Pride.

So far I've changed the cap, rotor, plugs and wires (because she idled like crap), my dad bumped up the idle, I changed the CD player, and changed the front tires (since the ones on the car were dry rotted and one had a screw in it, luckily the front tires on the Metro had less than 2000 miles on them and were the exact same size.

Emma may only be temporary for me, and then passed on to my sister, because my dad has his eye on a 1992 Saab 900 with a 5-speed that needs a new transmission for $400, but who knows.
