Boosted S2k?

I blame Scheides for my car being sold lol. He bought me this money saving book and thats what it told me to do ha ha. But no really paying off debt feels great. Just throw it up for sale and see what kind of offers you get. Just cause it's up for sale doesn't mean ya gotta sell it. Think about it for a couple months that's what i did.

I think I am going to do this, if the right price comes around then its gone...otherwise come spring I start to drive it again :)

Sell it and get something cheaper, lighter, and much more rowdy :)

:hide:

It will be cheaper and lighter...but probably less rowdy :) At least right away.

Boosted S2k?

Not a chance, I want an Evo still for sure, I love everything about Evo's.

Me personally, I'd sell it. I'm not a fan of car payments, or modding expensive cars. That's just me.

Not driving your car in the winter to me is kinda nutty. Why not drive it to enjoy it? Especially if you dont plan to keep it for years and years where rust may even be an issue.

Modding this type of car to this level is beyond anything Id do unless price werent an issue. If that were the case, id start with a different platform though.

Id part it out, sell it mostly stock and go with an Evo 8 or 9 as a project.

I am not parting it out...there is nothing to part out, I don't have parts to put back on the car.

I was planning on keeping the car for years. Not driving it in the winter saves me money...the reason I am looking at selling is because I wouldn't have to worry about budgeting over the next year. Without this car I would be back to being able to buy stuff without worrying about money.

I also just lost my renter, my buddy moved out, so that is another 600 a month I don't have...with that I would be fine right now. So maybe I try to find a renter and keep the car, who knows.

See to me, I've never understood the concept of a single vehicle. To me they are more like silverware: select the correct utensil for the meal at hand.

For instants: 1. Nice practical (and quiet) DD for work and long distant trips. 2. Winter backup beater, when you want to go blasting though the snow and not be concerned about wrecking a $30k+ plus vehicle. 3. Balls-to-the-walls enthusiast car. A limited usage performance only, zero compromises street driven rocket. 4. Spec class race car (typically not street legal).

There are of course more subcategories than this, but I would suggest a single car will force compromise.

Just one point of view though :)

Totally agree and that wasn't the plan when I first bought this car but I came to realize it the further along I got. The day after my loan is gone the Evo is likely to get caged.

Tachyon, we need to hang out more, that is exactly how I approach the car owning experience. :)

Being how we're both south of the river, we should. Grapevine says you've got a car lift :)
