..."crepuscular"...doesn't sound so good..... ...must not be a way to avoid it though.
The alternative to avoiding it means no time for Tercels...or anything else, for that matter.....

Junkyard driver's seat- $10.
New windshield last year- $129.
New Toyota pads last year- $33. AutoZone rotors- $10 each. Toyota shoes- about $30, $10 for a pair of junkyard drums, and $7 each for the wheel cylinders.
Lifetime rebuilt alternator- $39.
Lifetime rebuilt starter- $39.
Water pump- $19.
Rear struts- $70. Fronts- $20.

There have been many little things as well, and some not so little. I have a remanufactured steering rack, A/C compressor, new drier and hoses, expansion valve, etc. I probably have close to $200 in all that. I bought a parts car some time back and used the radiator in my car. I made money on the parts, though, so that's more than a wash.
