That really sucks, Craig!

I would see if I could find a 70-80's small Toyota. They usually run until rust kills them..
Had a couple in my youth. One Corolla ('78) I had, was ALWAYS stopped by police and most others that had reason to stop me, just because of the way it looked.
When I bought it it was green, with the clear cote pealing off all over.
Then I painted it black, and put luminescent tape on "strategic" places. That car was visible even in pitch black

I got more for it when I scrapped it, than what I bought it for
