Whats the best thing that youve done for your beater car?
This was a lil electric blower setup on my 88 mercury topaz. it seemed to work quite well, like i could feel the difference. it was a 6v motor and when i put 12 volts to it, it spun pretty fast. it has the snail shell shape to it, but the blower fan looked like something that would be used for a heater or something, like on a car; not a impeller type. the motor burned out on blower and i need to get another one and make it blow more air! lol

I use my 05 Toyota Camry as a bulldozer to push my Trans Am back into its parking spot whenever I have to work on it, and it decides not to start. The license plate bracket is toast and the license plate has folded over on itself a few times. The TA, on the other hand, just has a scratched nose now - I planned to replace it anyway since the molding around the fog lights is cracked from other unrelated activities.

Performance wise .... put the K&N FIPK and Magnaflow on it.
Visually : the little do-dads like running boards, fog lights, and along with the 3" lift.
Entertainment ... XM radio, the stealth box and amp ..

Best thing I did for my beater was either installed the electric cutout, or fixed the massive intake manifold leak
