why: Parted with them mostly due to bad luck and rust. the 92 Cressida blew its trans and was getting rusty, the 87 Cressida had some rust and serious electrical issues, the Miata's floorboard and quarter-panels rusted out, the Supra suffered from an electrical fire outside of a nightclub and was totaled (quite a scene, not in great shape to begin with), the Volvo had LOTS rust, the Civic got stolen, the 318ti was slightly rusty and the trans was popping out of first gear, a common problem with the Getrag trans in the mid 90's and was going to need to be replaced. The Fox and the Corolla were my mothers technically and she sold them.
I got all of these cars for next to nothing, and eventually calculated it just wouldn't be economical to restore them properly. Finally just decided enough is enough and wanted a reliable and very efficient daily driver. I will NEVER buy a project car from the rust-belt again that's for sure.
auxmike: The Fox was great. I always wanted to swap a GTI motor in it. The Volvo was also great. I put on an intercooler from a newer 740 turbo which really helped that tank out. It was surprisingly quick for its bulk. Definitely a sleeper. And yes, the rims are 7 inches wide. Haven't noticed a change in fuel economy yet.
