Thread: Care sales

I was just wondering why is everybody selling their cars?

tru tru,,,

whenever possible i try to give my 1g all the best,, OEM and aftermarket,,

that and i dont want to be caught by dirties zip tie seeking gun! although i must say zip ties are.............. well nevermind!

will i thought it was because most of us all live in the fun state of california where cops love to pull over import cars an give them tickets for having shinning things that doesn't have CARB numbers on them...that an like the post before me said..it's an car that needs your time more than anything thing else...sometime you have to choose rather it's work or fixing your car not to mention most of the turbo cars is hitting 10+ years so it's getting harder an harder to finds parts an still keep it at an decent price...and with newer faster cars hitting the market at prices that people can now afford but then again this is just my view....

Zip ties have a purpose. They're to tie wires up. Not to hold the car together... Sooo... yea, that's why my car's still sitting at home... can't afford to get good parts all at once, and I'm not buying crap for it...

maybe i can get it for you cheaper.

Most of the first generation of dsmers has moved on to bigger things like supars, evos, v-8's be it new school or old school, etc, etc. The second generation has gotten a batch of used and abused cars and most of them just keep abusing them, then they cry when their stock block 180K mile engine takes a s%!t when they where boosting over 20psi on a 16g on pis gas 91. so they junk em, or part them out. Thats why you see less and less 1g's around, 2g's are still plentyfull but very difficult to find a specimen that hasn't been beaten on or riced out. My plan is to get the wife a minivan, keep the galant for me as a DD, and have the 1g for a time attack car/weekend without the kids car. I love my dsm and probably wont get rid of it unless it gets totaled or something. We are becoming a rare breed the dsmer, but If some of us can manage to keep a few of these cars around a little bit longer , I think we can see a day when you see a dsm and it'll bring a tear to that 60-70 year old man who recalls feeling an AWD boosted launch for the very first time.
Of course this is just my opinion.

awesome post man. i think it would be cool for a day to come where my kids will oogle at my gsx (if i still have it around) the same way i do with my dad's 'cuda.
