Why do you own a DSM?

TheLBUGAWD · 01-25-2006

So Im buying my second DSM this Monday, I excited. But i was talking with the guy that im buying it from(Erik D) and he was telling me that the passenger side door lock doesnt work or something like that. I said "i dont even lock my doors(cause my car looks really bad, drives awesome, body BAD) so i feel that my car isnt worth Grand Theft Auto on your record. Well Erik came back with" why would anyone want to steal a car that brakes all the time." Sittin at the dinner and i tell my mother the story. She turns to me and in all seriousness ask me "Why do you own a DSM?" and i honestly dont know.

So i pose the question to you
"Why do you own a DSM?"

I got into it when I bought my 98 spyder new with cash off the lot did not know to much about them then just loved the look of the car and had to have it sence then it has become awd 5 speed and 6bolt. then I bought a 92 talon cheap and then a 91 talon also cheap and countless other dsm's I have owned 12 sence 98. I just cant keep away from them. Alom the girl drives on because that is what I bought her and she had to learn to drive a 5 speed

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. Shit I lied.

The real reason why I own a DSM is because I could not afford to go to a Tech school for Auto mechanic. So I got the next best thing a DSM. Hum 1.5K for a DSM and learn how to become a mechanic in 6months or pay out of your ass and come out knowing nothing at the end of 18 months. Yeh the DSM won and the nice thing is that I only had to buy 10mm 12mm 14mm and 17mm sockets.

Well that does make any sense cause it cost you more to mantain the car then it does to keep it hahah

Does your car have a six bolt block. If it does keep the doors unlock. SO I would not have to break the windows

You see the trend beginning here? The smart ones got away while they could. No but seriously I really loved my old gsx, and who knows maybe someday Ill have a project dsm, but definetly not a daily again.

Because they can be pretty quick for pretty cheap, and when something breaks parts are easy to find, since people are parting DSM's out all the time.

AWD and turbo and is affordable. Good looking car. Winter and awd is where its at. Underrated.

I bought mine to fit in. All of my friends and two of my girlfriends have had atleast one at some point. Owning one is one of my biggest regrets. I don't have it anymore!

clean2g · 01-26-2006

It's better than a ford probe!.. that's all I gotta say

**Halon** · 01-26-2006

I agree with others. I own it because I can't afford anything nicer. If I could afford a vette, I'd for sure have one. But this thing didn't cost me hardly anything, and it's easy to make fast, and it keeps me busy when I'm bored.

DSMs are fun to own.

I bought my first one when I was 14. If that doesn't say how cheap they are I dont know what does. Main reason was something that was cheap, That I could put exhaust on and make more than 1-5 HP.
