Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

I just wanted to see what kind of reaction you all would have if I sold my 00 Eclipse Gt and bought this insead?

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

It's a MUCH better vehicle than a 2000 3G eclipse.

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

Also a lot better in the winter! Lol jk. I would like a bike much more! Good luck to what ever you pick!

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

i can't believe you asked that question.

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

Hopefully not your first bike?

Yeah, a 76 Honda 750 is an upgrade from a 00 Eclipse!

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

I'm sure girls would like it if you take them for a ride.

But a car for bike? A car can get you around in winter. A bike is more of a summer plaything every year.

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

I don't think anyone here really cares about the 3g eclipse. No offense to anyone who owns one, they are nice cars, but they aren't really considered DSM's and are really as focused on performance as many of the members here would have liked.

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

Do..It!

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

If it is your first bike I say go for it.
If not, I'd say go R1. ;)

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

3gs are UBER gay. Get rid of it.

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

I'm not scraping you up off the road j/k. Sell it, buy a bike and a 1g have the best of both worlds, and dont give me "I wont have enough money!!" It can be done. Winter in a 1g gsx'r would be fun as hell, on two wheels, fall down go boom.

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

Your coolness points will go up at least 10-fold.

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

No one will really care. At least, I hope not.... Look at me :(

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

:woohoo1:I was really just looking for some reactions. I actually bought it last night and brought it home (my garage wall in the bg).

Thanks for all the kind words though.

And, NO, I didn't sell the uber gay 3G. I have to agree with Black97civic that it isn't really as performance driven as what mitsu should have/could have done with a V6 in that car. I still like it though. Now I will just let the wife drive it for the rest of the summer cause I like the bike 100 times better anyway.

Now I will have to try and find time to get down to a meet this summer or early fall on the bike.

PEACE:woohoo1:

Camera went dead i will get the top tomorrow when i get new batteries.

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

Does it really matter to you that much about what a bunch of guys that have probably never met you, think of you?

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

Congrats on the new addition. I still say sell your whip and get a 1g or 2g gsx, let the wife walk. J/K

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

Not really. Seing as I am the way that I am there wan't a better way to start the thread!

Got your attention anyway ... Didn't it?

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

Meh, halfway. I actually typed that about 10 mins before I sent it, so I didn't see the post where you said you were just doing it for a rise, and I was too lazy to edit my post. Nice bike though :) Personally, I would have gone with a gixxer 600, or a cbr 600 rr. But that's just me

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

The CBR is nice and everything but I have a factory race bike. No parts needed. And I think it looks a lot nicer than the gixxer.

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

Well, you don't have a factory race bike. There are a lot of pieces changed to become a real race bike, the suspension is the first to go. I would probably get the R6 or a Kawi if I was getting a 600. I would just get a GSXR 750 if I was buying again though.

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

my buddy just dumped his cbr 1000. GET A HELMET AND GOOD JACKET!!!
he walked away because he was wearing good gear

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

And don't be a squid and put the helmet on the back of the bike. It doesn't do any damn good there!

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

Don't over ride your skills! Think safty first and have the right gear. Even if it is hot outside don't ever leave your helmet in the back of the bike. It is much better on your head. Another important lesson don't think cars see you. Most of the time they don't. But nice bike and safe riding. I promise a friend I would not ride this summer, so my bike has been in the garage since May. Which sucks but a promise is a promise.

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

I hate that shit. If you go to the trouble of bringing a helmet why not put it on? They're not even hot if you keep the rest of your body cool.

Or maybe I'm just jealous, because I can't strap mine down and look all squidly cool without my chain guard ripping my helmet to hell. :mj:





P.S. MJ rocks.

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

I hate having a helmet on the back, Mostly cuz the design of the helmet locks on my bike blows ass, but also cuz it's just annoying to avoid kicking it when I get on and off.

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

I would have to say the only reason I would ever have a helmet on the back is if I was going to pick up some chick. Otherwise why would you even waste the money to go out and drop anywhere from $100 to $400 for the stupid thing.

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

^ To be honest. That is not a good enough reason to not wear a helmet. The only reason that would make sense for not wearing a helmet is when you are not riding a bike. Anyways be safe riding.

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

Give yourself a chance to live, wear a fuck'n helmet.

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

I think what he's saying, is that he would be wearing his, but have a second on the back for the girl to wear when he picks her up.

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

^ True dat.

Re: Would you guys (and girls) think less of me if I sold my car?
 

My Bad My Bad. What I meant to say was the only reason that I would have one on the back of the bike was if I was going to pick someone up. Mine would be on my head.
