Word, don't worry fellas, most of everyones good advice set me straight, i am going to start putting some time into the car and getting it done.

I have to say that I was thinking of going away from dsm or putting it on the back burner for a while. Girlfriend not liking the car is also a problem.

I was thinking of restoring a classic muscle car. Looking for a 64 buick or oldsmobile. Also maybe a Chevy nova would be fun to play with. They are a blast to drive. My dad has a 67 442 oldsmobile with the 455olds engine in it and I have always been kind of a muscle car fan. We also have a 55 chevy truck that needs restoring. I didn't know if anyone else on this forum is interested in muscle cars but I think they are kind of cool.

I was also thinking of an RX-7 FD and throwing a chevy LS motor into it. Would be a lot less expensive then blowing up rotary engine (even though rotary engines are still cool, just really expensive for parts). It would be a Corvette on the Cheap!!!

Yeah muscle cars are a lot of fun. I had a '71 442 with the 455 Hurst indy clutch that was painted Porsche Indy Red. Man I loved that 455! Nothing beat cruising that car and the way the motor was so smooth. Wheel hop like a son of a bitch though. Never did get to fix that before I sold it.

DSM's might not be as much cool factor but I like the challenge of learning Forced Induction so far. Can't see myself getting rid of the Talon.

The Value on these cars will come to be expensive in the next 10 years.

No they won't.

I wouldn't say expensive, but clean 1g AWD's have gone up in value over the last few years. They aren't going to be a Supra though.

They will be worth as much as people are going to pay for them and there are a lot of idiots/noobs out there.
But there are also a lot of people that truly know how much these things are worth.
