In the land of horrible decisions and rad results, who is King?
 
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 07-15-2011 07:00 PM

id go with the beat to shit muscle car.

Gizmo_S13 07-15-2011 07:03 PM

Muscle cars are awesome. Just saying...

ronmcdon 07-15-2011 07:04 PM

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

lflkajfj12123 07-15-2011 07:05 PM

keep civic

Bubbles 07-15-2011 07:18 PM

Wow, Zilvia being responsible.

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

5pecialist 07-15-2011 07:28 PM

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

Teddy 07-15-2011 08:13 PM

Turn civic into Tsukuba spec awesomeness.

Bubbles 07-15-2011 08:16 PM

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

Matej 07-15-2011 09:07 PM

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


P.S.
Do you own a 240SX?

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 07-15-2011 09:18 PM

Buy another 240. :facepalm:

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.

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 07-17-2011 08:49 PM

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

Mikey213 07-18-2011 09:39 AM

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 07-18-2011 10:58 AM

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

fckillerbee 07-18-2011 04:03 PM

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 07-18-2011 04:22 PM

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

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 07-18-2011 07:30 PM

Keep the civic. .....

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 07-18-2011 08:00 PM

Buy a Nova, become Death Proof.

Bambi 07-18-2011 08:20 PM

Buy a Pinto.
