Default Crashpad car???

How do you guys get back and forth from the airport to your crashpad? Bus, train, taxi, or do you buy a cheap pos car?
I've been looking on craigslist but everything around $500 needs a new engine or transmission.

lol! You'll be pretty hard pressed to find anything even half way reliable for less than a couple grand. You can usually find some POS that runs for around $1,000, pretty much you'll find anything that runs will cost you at least 1K.

I bought a 93 buick park avenue for $800...the thing is awesome!!!

So far I've put $4-500 into it, the water pump was eating itself up (and making alot of noise) and one of the brakes decided to let all the brake fluid out.

It's my new home car because I decided that the more reliable car (my original one) should be the crashpad car because I don't have friends/family that can save my ass if my car brakes in my base.

I pay $50 a month on it
