good lord thats a long address... anyways... i want a 'new' car, whats your opinion on this one

[DaveInDaytona]

These two places are your friends.

I'd own a Honda, if it had 4 wheels.

[Pandora]

the civic has the best gas mileage as far as i can see... i would love a brand new one, but i couldnt possibly afford it... i like the little civic im driving now, but i need an upgrade... i can afford 150 a month... if anyone can give me a heads up in the right direction...

[bluespecv03]

I think if you let Erik and I seriously look for a car, we can find you a better one for a good price, or even a Miata like you really wanted.

[Pandora]

right now i want damned good gas mileage and reliability... i would love a miata someday... but not this year

[CKER]

yeah, look for subtle details, it was an ex model, which means Vtec, shitty stereo install and aftermarket shift knob, it was beat on by whoever had it, gaurantee it's gonna need a clutch soon...

[Pandora]

ok... thats good to know... why is the car i want a teenage boys wet dream?

[CKER]

was, it's not anymore, but the ones you find are gonna be beat on, at least you know some guy that can fix one if you get one, hell buy that one, 5.5 hour engine swap..... :lol: :lol:

[Pandora]

OI!! Erik wont do that for me... he wouldnt do that for anyone... asshole car salesman... i just wanted to DRIVE the damned car... :evil:

[CKER]

LMAO, i was talking about me :roll: :roll: :roll:

[bluespecv03]

OI!! Erik wont do that for me... he wouldnt do that for anyone... asshole car salesman... i just wanted to DRIVE the damned car... :evil:

He only gets paid to make a sale, why would he want to waste his time on someone who he knows he wont make a sale off of?

And Miata's are reliable and get good gas mileage. They have tiny 4cyl's like Civics.

[Pandora]

but they arent practical, they are a gift for a job well done or something of that nature... i dont need a snazzy car, i need a car that i can go 3 weeks on a tank of gas with my normal back and forth and cram as much bottled water as erik and i can afford every 2 weeks in the back seat. the Miata can wait... ill get a raise sooner or later and then i will get my little dream car

[bluespecv03]

Keep driving the SuperCivic, thats the most practical thing you can do. You barely drive anywhere anyway, might as well not have a car payment. Its not all its cracked up to be.

[Pandora]

im thinking about my credit... i need something big to help it out

[bluespecv03]

Well hold out till you are ready to buy a car that is worth it. Dont waste your time buying a car that you will be upside down on in no time and still have to pay on for 5 years. Take it from someone who has ALOT of experience buying and selling cars. Put money aside every paycheck so you will have a nice down payment then when you have a good amount and you are ready, buy a nice car that you wouldnt mind having for a long time.

[CKER]

No matter what u buy, new ,used or stolen, as soon as u title it in your name or the banks name you're upside down....

[Pandora]

brand spanking new Civic

[CKER]

upside sown, plus they look like mini accords....

[bluespecv03]

If you really wanna buy a car, buy mine in a few months. Its like a luxury Civic, you know its reliable and well maintained, it has a huge trunk for water, and you dont have to do anything but change the oil in it for the next 100k miles.

[Pandora]

the coupe doesnt! it looks sexy as hell!

[MetalDisorder]

This one looks like a deal :-)

Now we're talkin!!

[mhunter1175]

looks roomy too!

[Pandora]

ooooooohhhhh yeah... right up my price range :lol:

[Staish]

Second one gets my vote. Saweeeeet!

[frikjmaser]

If we ALL put ALL our cars together we could get that and share it :lol:

[CKER]

We can rent one, 1600 a day and a dollar a mile, and I can make a dummy log for the black boxes they put in for data acquisition.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

[frikjmaser]

That would be great thanks for volunteering to pay for it! :lol:

[bluespecv03]

Is it just me or does anyone else think that car is kinda ugly? I especially dont like the wheels.

[frikjmaser]

Its just you 8)

[bluespecv03]

Id rather have an Enzo anyday...

[Staish]

I think it's beautiful and love the wheels! I'd take it or an Enzo as long as I wasn't footing the bill. Heck, one of each, please and thank you!

[CKER]

Its just you 8)

That's funny :lol: :lol:

[CKER]

My birthdays in February guys......

the VTTT version....

[lockwood81]

Nice how it will match your bike also. Start saving your pennies.

The Integra is a nice car indeed, but I dont want it. I cant afford it either.

[bluespecv03]

How can you afford a 7000 civic then?

[frikjmaser]

with Optimism! :?

[Pandora]

it was closer to $20K actually... I cant, but it doesnt stop me from wanting it

[bluespecv03]

I meant the used one you posted here...

[Pandora]

*shrugs*

[frikjmaser]

Realistically need something much cheaper.

Like this:
http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=223371652&dealer_id=9807950&car_year=1998&model=CIVIC&num_records=100&make2=&start_year=1996&keywordsfyc=&keywordsrep=&engine=&certified=&body_code=2&fuel=&awsp=false&search_type=used&distance=200&marketZipError=false&search_lang=&make=HONDA&color=&page_location=findacar::ispsearchform&min_price=&body_style=COUPE&drive=&default_sort=priceDESC&max_mileage=&style_flag=2&sort_type=priceDESC&address=32114&advanced=y&end_year=2000&doors=&transmission=Manual&max_price=5000&cardist=59

problem with most of the civcs from that era in that price range is that they look like this:

:roll:

[Pandora]

i like the first one way better...

[bluespecv03]

Im talkin like 5000 for my car, and you know its in good shape, and you know its well maintained. If you are lookin at old Civics, you can surely find another 1000 for a car you can trust.

[Pandora]

ok... i was trying to be nice... i dont want your car.

[bluespecv03]

But you would get a Civic? Its the same damn car, but mine has all the power toys, a better motor, and its basically like a luxury Civic. Nm, I forget Im talking to someone who has no clue about cars.

[Pandora]

its not a personal thing chris, i just dont want your car.

[CKER]

BTW your model dosen't really have that much of a better motor than the civics in that year, unless you do the obd2 to obd1 harness and ecu :wink: :wink:

[bluespecv03]

Its better in terms of stock hp and tq. Werent not talking for a base to extreme modding. In 98 you had to get an EX civic just to get 127hp.

Pretty much! (This is NOT an implication that Dave is an old dumb bastard!) :lol:

Okay, well I do know that he's old, but definitely not dumb. The bastard part is probably dependent on his mood at the time. ;)

When you are talking performance I agree obi is all that

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Use the force Luke... :lol: :lol: :lol:

[frikjmaser]

I'm gonna have to use the force on fedex in a minute, they tried to deliver my pakcage yesterday at 1040A, so ok I get my door tag and call the 1800 number and ask why there isnt a "pick it up at your local fedex" option. She says that it was sent with FedEx Home Delivery, which isn't actually fedex its a private company that they contract to deliver packages...... :x and my box went to cocoa for the night. Chris said its a nice place to stay so I said ok its probably in better hands down there then it would have been at the fedex depot here. Well its delivery day 2 and almost two hours after they tried to deliver it yesterday and its still not here! :evil: It left the depot in cocoa a full 8 minutes earlier then yesterday! Where is it??!?!? :bad-words:

Thanks I feel marginally better now :D

[Staish]

It's probably with my stereo that was in Cocoa overnight and supposed to be delivered today. I hope they've had fun together! :D

[frikjmaser]

Funny thing is they probably are :lol:

Worst part is I can't do anything or go anywhere that would jeapordize me not being here to get it. Side effects may include: the apartment is really clean, the bike is really clean, TV is getting watched, dishes may get done, clean wash might get put away........ 8)

["Jackass"]

Yea, you gotta watch fedex, they contract outside carriers to do their deliveries, I run into that problem here w\my parts deliveries :roll:

[Staish]

Mine's here! I told him to get yours straight over to you, Erik. Said he'd get right on that. ;)

[frikjmaser]

Yeah mine showed up about that time, and already installed on the car! :D
