    What the fuck guys?

    Talking to a couple of aqquaintances/coworkers my age, all male, and I look at the cars they own. A Ford Escape, two camrys, Accord, a dodge fucking Caliber, and a Taurus X. All use the same "sensible" excuse.

    What the fuck indeed. Life is far too short to be driving such bland cars, especially when you can still get an erection without chemical assistance. The day I consider owning a Toyota Camry is the day I put a bullet through my brain.

    Seriously, 4 door sedans, big wagons, automatics?

    No doubt!

    But then again I used to commute on a sportbike in sub-freezing temps. I can't imagine not having a fun car. And once I get a few more things done to the car I'll be buying another sportbike.

              I definitely think the 318is idea is a good one. I love mine ;). I'm thinking about looking for a suzuki Swift GT as a DD. Of course, it would probably end up with a turbo on it...apparently the stock 1.3 has forged internals :)

                    I find that breaking things on my car helps to keep interest in it ;).

                    "Finished" projects are boring...

                      just temporarily convert your car back to more DD specs.

                      'i' lip, remove the skirts, raise your suspension, bigger sidewall tire.

                          that's it? you want to sell your car because of that little bit of damage? PFFFFFT!! I rebuilt my car from this:


                          it lives on:


                          you probably don't even have to replace the core support, a body shop can straighten it and that fender no problem.

                              That's what I'm going to do actually. It's time for a new lip and I have an "i" lip with black clips, plus the skirts are a little saggy so they should come off anyway. I have stock weaves somewhere so I'm going to run those while I get my wheels fixed/cutomizzzzeeeddd.

                              Hahaha, that's kind of exactly what I said... It's going to give me something to do with the car during the nice "winter" months in Florida, when it's actually nice out.

                              You're right, and No, that's not what I meant. I was just thinking it's about time for me to build some credit (great time to do so with this banging Econ) so if I sold this car and put a nice down payment on something nice like an E39 Touring <<<BORING, I would have a nice comfortable car and not have to worry about hitting/breaking EVERYTHING.

                                That sucks about the damage. I am glad you decided to keep your car though. Go start checking craigslist for cheap car to drive while you fix the E30.
