As most have seen I have the Cavalier up for sale to buy something different...but I can't decide whats the best way to go...

So here's the critiria for what I'm looking for:

Decent on gas
Room for flexibilty in dB Drag
Something that would do well in SPL
Be able to purchase for no more than $900
Must be somewhat functional even with equipment in it.

I have the chance to pickup a certain VO car, but I'm keeping the options open.

Here's some thoughts I have come up with andothers have suggested:
Caravan
Mazda pickup truck
Cavalier Wagon
Blazer/Jimmy
S-10 PU
CRX(But how functional would that be for me?)
Also looked at a 84 Civic WagoVan tonight that I think could work well.

I open this thread to your ideas....

I'd go with a rex...i've seen a couple cheap ones and its by far the cheapest on gas, on the downside, i don't think those cat batteries would fit in there with a decent sized sub box

Ford Escort Wagon or an older VW Passat wagon. Anything Station wagon should give you
A) decent gas milage
B) Ulitity room
C) Sub space
D) Could be somewhat stealthy too.

Would be great but the front cab space is too big for SPL [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'm leaning towards this Civic WagoVan...Tons of room to build...The spare tire area is big enough for like 4 batteris...The back seat locks in two postions...the windsheild is really flat...there's enough room under hood for more than one alt.(if so desired)...its a manual choke pefect for setting upa t 2000 rpm...4 cyl so cheap on gas..and its so ghetto, I can paint it anyway I want and not feel guilty for doing it...Parts are el cheapo...And above all that, Honda's are known for going forever...

I think I can grab it for almost nothing too!!
