Dude! Your brother is SOOO lucky!
I had an '82 Starlet when I was in college, in like '93... It was awesome! It was white with tan interior (the seats were such crap that we covered them in SHEEPSKIN covers!ACK!). That sucker would run on a tank of gas for two weeks, and that was with running all my buddies around, visiting family in the country and going to work and school every day. I took it down to the sandbar with a bunch of party buddies and we got my little Starlet stuck... took three of the baseball players to pick it up and heft it out of the sand so we could continue duning! Seriously! AND, when the clutch went out, a few of my brave friends and I checked out a book and traded out the clutch ourselves, then spiffed up the brakes, too. If a 19 year old girl and her idiot friends can do that, then you'll totally dig the simplicity of this car. Yeah, I wussed out and got a car with air conditioning. But I'd trade you my crappy Chrysler with ac right now for your brother's Starlet!
