Default The time has come...

It is time for me to part ways with the STi. Next month I am turning it over to my step-dad, he wants it bad. He bought an RSX-S a few days before I got my STi and he has been kicking himself for not getting an STi. So, since I am ready to move on to another car, I'll let him take over payments starting in June. I am also moving out of my parents house and getting my own, so I need to save some money, so the Tundra will be gone too. What will I replace it with? Well, I tried to get an '04 NSX, but despite showing up with my W2's and pay stubs, etc. showing I could pay for the car, they still didn't want to turn over a $90,000 car to an 18 year old, so it looks like I am going to get a '91-'94 NSX and a Scion xB(the cube). I am getting the Scion because it will stand out like a mother er and and draw business to my performance parts store with a grand re-opening in June. The NSX I think will look quite nice next to my S. Well, here is a tribute to cars that have come and gone in my life.

2002 Honda Civic Si - 1/24/03-9/9/03
2003 Toyota Tundra - 6/8/03-06/04
2004 Subaru WRX STi - 9/9/03-06/04
1983 Honda Accord - Don't know-Don't care

Trent,

I don't know what your financial situation is, but unless you're pullin' down a major salary (or a trust fund) my advice is to focus on maybe one project car (an early NSX is a beauty), and keep one other daily driver available.

In a few years, you'll want/need more and more money to buy a house, raise a family, etc. Save as much as you can now.

That said, good luck with your choices. Sounds good!
