Mods will have to add the poll. My low post count won't let me create one.

The poll:

To keep my S13 convertible or sell it.

The story:

I recently came across a really good deal on a convertible that I couldn't pass up. It's in very good condition. I'm the third owner, it's never been wrecked, and it's 100% stock. I could put a small amount of time and money into it and make enough money off it to buy my dream wheels for my S14, or finish up all the little things that it needs.

I've had my S14 for five years now. It's almost my dream car. It needs a couple of things and it will be complete. If I sell the S13, Ill be able to buy the Gramlights I've been wanting for a while. I could also buy a couple of parts for my engine (cams, injectors, dyno tune) and get 350+ hp (I'm a little bit above 300 hp right now) if I don't buy the wheels just yet. If i chose that route, I could also buy a couple of suspension components from SPL to finish my suspension.

BUT:

If I decide to keep the S13, it would be a great daily driver until stuff started going out on it. After things started going out on it, I would then build a drift car out of it. There are enough events around my area to make that a good option.

It's such a rare car that I would hate to get rid of it. I don't think I will ever come across one in that good of shape for that price.

So this is where I'm torn. Finish up my dream car or have a fun daily driver that I'd eventually drift.

I did! I asked RJF, mrmeph, and exitspeed. exitspeed was the only one that responded, and he told me to ask RJF.

I took care of it. Water under the damn, or over the bridge, or where ever the Hell water goes. :keke:

I love the convertibles. It isn't a five speed, but that could easily be fixed.

I'd say keep it as a daily and you'll get around to finishing your S14 anyway. It's not like it's going anywhere.

But it really depends if you want to keep a vert in the long run.

I love my convertible as my daily. People like to ride in it too, which is more than I could say about my old hatch.

I'd keep it. What's better than one 240? Two 240's!

You'll get the money eventually to finish off the S14, especially since it's your dream car, you won't give up on it. Also, it's cool to have an S13 and an S14.

Lol. I just hate getting rid of a running car just to buy wheels. I forgot to mention I'm in school as well, and tuition went up on me. Again. If i was out of school, I would have less trouble keeping it.

Ultra baller S14, or average baller S14 and a stock S13 vert. Both options are very appealing to me.

Keep the replies coming!

Ha. Yeah, I think I'm going to keep it. Insurance is cheap, I fell in love with it, and no one around here has a vert. The more I look at it, the more I like it. I knew when I bought it that it would be too hard to sell.
