So being as I am having to cut back on work in order to go to school full-time, it looks like my S may be going up for sale. Painful it is to think of not driving that car... My first RWD car. (other than an SUV).

Looks like I'll be aiming for a 2001 Integra Type-R (JDM front end too) I've found in southern Cali. Adequate replacement? I know they're not worth the same, and the S is much quicker... but hey, no one can lay any hate on a JDM front-end Type-R in yellow. heheh. Plus to my knowledge there's all of one in yellow in Tucson, and it doesn't have the JDM front.

I hate myself for doing it, but it seems like it's the best option right now. Besides, there's no rule that says I can't buy a new one a few years down the line.

Tell me it's not the biggest mistake I can make?

 

naw dude.. i dont think so.. i love the DC2's and it already has the jdm front thats sexy... and aint nothing wrong wit fwd.. but hey priorities first... ur doin the right thing..

 

The DC2 is definitely a classic and the JDM front makes it the poster car of JDM'ness. I still miss mine.

The problem is these are, or at least were getting stolen at the mall every day. I hope you can keep it safe. Is AZTEGS still up?

 

If you're still a student, why not just pick up a $500 POS that's reasonably reliable transportation and save the cash? Invest in your future, not in your present. You can always get a new S when you make your first million!

Education > Going fast/looking cool

 

Hehe, well since I'm going back to delivering pizza and will be making good cash, despite working only 2 nights a week, I'll be buying a POS anyways. Until then I'll be driving my old prelude, which now happens to be my parents'.

Indeed I could just drive a cheap car and have a lot of extra cash to save- but hey, my car is one of the few things that bring me great joy. Besides, my parents have bestowed onto me a great luxury- they're paying for my college education.


As for the theft issue, I'll be equiping the car with LoJack and if it doesn't already have a pager alarm it will have one the week I get it.

 

Just give your parents a sob story about how you need to keep the S or you'll be too depressed to concentrate on school. Hey, if they're already paying for school, the car payment is a drop in the bucket.
