glad to b here! from Dublin/Pleasanton
Signed up a few weeks ago on this forum and have been reading/browsing almost everyday. Hoping to purchase a 1stgen in the near future. I have been checking the classifieds but they are hard to come by in good condition. If anybody has a lead on one pls share
Just a quick background on myself. Grew up in Philippines till i was 14 when my parents migrated here. Been back home a few times and i still miss Philippines. My first ever car given to me by my dad was a 85 accord hatchback for college. Also had a 95 Integra, 86 corolla GTS, 91 240sx, 94 sentra se-r, in the past. I currently own a 89 Mirage Turbo (1 of only 1500 imported in north america), 2003 Toyo highlander and 2003 lancer Evo. Hoping to meet old school enthusiasts in the area. Cheers!

Re: glad to b here! from Dublin/Pleasanton
Thanks for the welcome guys! yes, im mainly looking for 75 and below due to smog issues My budget is between a nice specimen and a restoration project but that could change when i get my taxes done Just saw a red 72 ST sold from san jose a few days ago but it got sold in one day!
Excited to go to that seafood city/concord meet, sign me up! Will that start April hopefully?! Thats not too far from where i live now and i usually frequent that area when i take the family out. Salamat!
