Because I like cheap and reliable transportation.

I got into it because it was a nice car and quite fast (for the time). Now I know too much about them to get rid of it and have to learn everything over again. My DSM is more of a toy for me now. I also don't like doing the main stream thing, otherwise I would have a TT Mustang or camaro. I have a 01 Lincoln LS for a daily driver.

I have mine becaue I am stupid also. I wanted to go fast and didn't realize trying to go fast won't have you going anywhere at all except for the bank. I might be getting out soon as we are getting a house and I don't have time, but I would need to get rid of a lot of stuff.

Because they are really fun when there not on jackstands or in the shop.

Reliable is the last word ever to be put in on or near the word DSM

Daily
System
Malfunction

That is what it means to me

I think he got this import cars confused with Honda. He should be shot for using reliable and DSM in the same sentence. Just Joking.

I don't own one anymore.
I keep getting them because they don't leave me alone, and I feel bad for all the beat-up ones I come across.

I have a good friend that was very into DSM's so I knew if you wanted to TRY to go fast with them they will always sit on jack stands. Once you get out of the 12's it seems like they break on a daily basis.
I actually bought my first DSM when my woman needed a temporary car. When I got transfered to MN I sold the FWD DSM and swapped the engine/trans into an AWD DSM. This winter turned out to be pretty weak so I'm just about ready to sell it and buy a nice daily driver. I can't make up my mind. I've been leaning towards a high mileage Z06, '03+ Cobra or something similar. Decisions, decisions.

Josh you kinda put yourself in the situation of being around DSMs cause you own a shop that specializen in fixing them(you do great work by the way). How bad did you feel when you saw my car A.K.A The Lady Bug ahahahahah

For being a need for speed addict. The DSM is the best bang for the buck when it comes to hualing ass. It is the only car I know of that you can buy under 3k put another 3k into it and whoop majority of the cars on the road. What he said, but on a higher price level. ;)
