Default Mini-me my CRX, or buy a 1966 Toyota?

That's right, nineteen sixty six. I ran upon it a little while back, and the guy called me two days ago. It's in almost running condition, with an automatic tranny. Also, it has awesome orange paint, and is just really classic all together. I can probably get it for about 200 bukcs. I fell in love.

But, let me give you a little background on me. I'm a 16 year old high school student, and I get about 30 bucks a week to spend on whatever, including my car. I own a 1991 CRX, and I've been looking to rebuild the bottom end and slap a vtec head on it.

What should I do? Save my $$ and hop up my CRX, or get a very pimp classic ride, get it running, and keep it around for kicks?

Screw the 66. Since you're 16, girls in your class will think you are weird and strange. Can't have that now, can we? Answer: mini-me!

I'll buy your '66 if you don't want it. I have a guy here in Sarasota that will pay a whole lot of $$$ for it. He collects old school Toyotas ,Mazda, and Datsun restore them and sell them for alot of $$$.
