In the land of horrible decisions and rad results, who is King?

[Bubbles]

Got a little(tiny) offer on my dd Civic. This will be a stupid(most likely) or rad(almost impossible) idea but what are your thoughts?

Mid to late 90's Audi, high mileage, quattro or whatever. Will leave me stranded and be expensive.

Mid to late 90's Bmw, high mileage, expensive to fix and leave me stranded most likely.

Early 2000's VW diesels. expensive, stranded,yada yada yada

Big Amuuuurican shit box truck. Paychecks on gas.

Old 'muscle' car. Beat to shit most likely.

Old VW, rabbits and hoodrides, and diesels and shit.

Moped, scooter, honda CB or early CBR. I live in the midwest and it rains all the time and winter is near.

Anything else you want to suggest.

[DriftN00b]

id go with the beat to shit muscle car.

[Gizmo_S13]

Muscle cars are awesome. Just saying...

[ronmcdon]

I suggest just keeping the civic.
if you had to change, a mk.2-3 rabbit would be my choice.

[lflkajfj12123]

keep civic

[Bubbles]

Wow, Zilvia being responsible.

Civics are so perfectly dull, it's affecting my life.

[5pecialist]

Buy a Tahoe & run home made e85 for free. Old Benz & biodiesel. Something other than the world's most boring car (Civic).

[Teddy]

Turn civic into Tsukuba spec awesomeness.

[Bubbles]

The only thing I want to turn the Civic into is a small pile of money that can buy something less responsible.

[Matej]

In the land of rad decisions, you are the king, dear Bubbles.


P.S.
Do you own a 240SX?

P.P.S.
America ruined European cars for me with the demographic of people that drive/worship them here.

Seriousness:

I seriously love my Civic. I bought it as a daily, did a few things to it and it is way too much fun while still comfortable as fuck and gets amazing gas mileage. Oh, and parts are like free when shit does break once every hundred years or so.

But, if i had to choose one of the provided options:

E36 for shizzle.

[atom]

Buy another 240. :facepalm:

[Wake]

I thought you could fly?

oh well just have blossom and buttercup fly you around.

Yes sir; S13 hatch, Sr20, RPS clutch, large intercooler, it keeps getting held down by stupid stuff which is why I should keep the Civic.

Fake BN, Work VS KF, Purple drank paint and some of them there cut springs is the idea.


I don't know how the pricing is out by you but a CB with mild cafe-ness + a Porsche 924.

You will have two vehicles and never be able to go anywhere, but at least you will feel cool in your driveway.


CB's are abundunt in the midwest but I'm more in to the flat tracker setup myself.

Ha ha, that is the ultimate goal.

I dislike everything about my Civic, if it didn't always start I would have ditched it a long time ago.

I had to google this to get your reference, I'm cooler than you by default.

[Matej]

Almost forgot. I still like these. I think you would look hot in one.

so hard to justify to creditors

[Mikey213]

Shoot I just bought me a w210 project! sexy as a MOFO! But in your case, stick with the civic or get an old Porsche and sleep it in the garage till you get enough for a lsx swap. Get the best of both worlds! (that's what I did, it's jizzy' watching it get sexier before the swap little by little) :P

[simmode1]

You have a 240 already? For a cheap-ish, more comfy daily, I'd be looking at E36 or 1st gen GS300's...

I would buy a second daily just for the sake that those piece of shit cars will break down any second.

but if i had a chool project choice...it would have to be late 80's bmw. or a datsun Z.

[4DOOR_LIFE]

i vote for air-cooled. Its definitely on the top of my list for most wanted project. and it would make for a super rad daily/cruiser.


I was so close to trading my hatch for this

German engineering at it's finest............too scared to even do pulls on the road because he knows it's going to break down at any second ha ha.




pbJttEdFRkU


Cool but out of my range, massively.

http://ekhatch.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/04_o.jpg









Let me try to explain this. I own a dd, the civic, and a project, the 240. I'm not swapping an LS or spending any real money on the dd. If I wanted something that looked cool, broke down, but still cost a hundo or two I'd get an FD.

So the amount I could get out of the civic basically and no projects.

Currently in the lead is a running VW rabbit diesel local to me that leaves me with quite a bit of spare change to fix it's problems when they come.

[jesse_s13]

Keep the civic. .....

[simmode1]

So the amount I could get out of the civic basically and no projects.
I was wondering why ppl were throwing out all these hella pricey cars.

For real though, '91 to '97 Lexus GS300. Makes almost as much crank HP as the USDM E36 M3 and the N/A 2JZ is quite reliable, I hear. But you can find them for about $2000. It'll walk all over a similarly priced 3 series and most 5 series BMW's too.

[Antihero983]

Buy a Nova, become Death Proof.

[Bambi]

Buy a Pinto.

a datsun Z.

S30s are fun. but it WILL devour your life.

Am I the only person who found this video hilarious and utterly pointless? Cool car and probably sounds awesome but maybe not between 700 and 2000rpm.

[bb4_96]

Late 90's early 2000 Audi A/S4 quattro turbo 5/6-speed.

[BustedS13]

that's why i posted it, that has to be the worst exhaust showoff video i've ever seen.

Probably had so many electrical issues it wouldn't rev past 2000 :P

[yokotas13]

i sold my perfectly reliable and paid off 350z and bought a 1967 ford galaxie, anda 1992 ford econline van, i made the right choice lol

[Matador]

Great suggestion (I actually daily one), but too sensible. Plus is slow enough that he will want to make it fast, then its another project.

[simmode1]

1992 ford econline van
Rape van?:ughd:

Nah, man... ppl need to get over this "I need every car I own to be the fastest on the block!" mentality. Just get a GS300 for cheap. Seafoam it, get the maintanance up to date, slam it on some nice wheels, touch up the paint or vinyl wrap it and stop there.

[Matador]

Does it have a padlock on the back doors?

[Flicktitty]

get a Early 90's Lexus. SC3/400 or GS300 or a LS400. Clean it up. throw some coils and some cool wheels on it and drive the wheels off it.

[Matej]

Or a 4000$ fixed gear bicycle.

[ayuaddict]

How about a $4000 unicycle?

[Bubbles]

Good work.

I couldn't give a shit about speed. However I don't plan on vinyl wrapping anything.

I actually want to buy my first road bike since I might be moving two minutes from work. Fuck fixies though.



New info: I'm not sure I can bring myself to buy another vehicle I have to crawl in and out of. Been driving the truck a lot lately and I want something that sits higher.

Trucks, suv's, vans.

[simmode1]

Yeah, wasn't quite sure how cheap you were planning on keeping things...
