Since all the cool non-rusty cars are in Atlanta
. I hop a SWA airline (using my free credits) and fly Chicago Midway to Atlanta Hartsfield. I get a GRM/CM Forum buddy to pick me up and drop me off to buy a $1,200 max car.
I buy this car: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/cto/3299976525.html
I drive back to Chicago keeping in touch with the local GRM/CM family in case I have an issue or problem. I drive it back to Chi-town and turn it into a daily driver/weekend racer. I will need sponsorship to purchase the car so feel free to contact me so I can pass along my paypal account. I am not beneath writing articles in GRM/CM and taking parts sponsorship. 
Atlanta to Knoxville to Lexington to Cincinnati to Indianapolis to Chicago. WHO is WITH ME??????

okay 92CelicaHalfTrac - you have to help from Greensburg to Lafayette (Subaru Plant).
I'm down for driving a trip.

No, no, no. You are "on call" for mechanical help, directions, flat tire fixing, running out of gas calls................you will get a mention in the GRM/CM article.
The funnier the better - I can call you for a Jimmy John's sandwich - when I blow a tranny at a truck stop you can help me remove and replace with a junk yard one.
This here's funny.

You may want to rephrase that...
Well if you decide to take a left-turn at Lafayette, I'm only 50-miles west. We could probably get whatever you need taken care of. Oh, and I have a couple friends in Lafayette with E30s, so there may be parts available if needed. I believe one friend still has a spare engine out of an IX.

Okay. I will cut over to Route 41 and have you responsible up towards Cedar Lake. The rest is my wife's.
So I am covered from 1 hour west of Cinci to home.
When is this epic journey?

You know I'm only 10 minutes from Cedar Lake.
Not that I want to be involved in your adventure or anything. 
Hhmm, I like this plan. Off to scour Atlanta CL myself.
