sell the sedan
get an suv
stay stock for 2 months
and spend money all over again.

for the last 5 months i have not bought anything for my car. except for those mats and an emblem

saving up for something else.

- Tue Jan 08, 2008 3:13 pm #36883 The thought goes through my mind everyday, especially now with having a baby on the way. But both me and the wife know that I'd start another project eventually, so why bother selling what I already have going? :lol:

All in all though, I'd like to get my car to the point where its just a trailer queen, and I'd be rockin a big 'ol truck to pull my civic around. :thumb:

- Tue Jan 08, 2008 3:19 pm #36885 I've thought about it, I almost put my EG up for sale about 5 years ago when I was moving. I cant imagine the thought now. The times that piss me off is when shit breaks that shouldn't be breaking. I like having an older car & no car payment, cheap insurance... but some times I feel like saying F it and going out and buying a brand new car with a warranty. Then I'm sure I would miss having something to work on. And an EG is one of the easiest cars to work on :thumb:

- Tue Jan 08, 2008 6:12 pm #36945 I have thought about it, but I am too far into it to get rid of, but with a house and a family the $$ is really not there to do too much more. I want to do a swap, but the wife says spending more on the swap than we paid for the car is not happening. We will see.

It's not a time issue, it's a $$ thing since I am not as mechanical as I would like to be so I would need to pay someone to do the swap.
