Default Help me decide what do do.

Alright so I saved up about $5g's all for myself now I've got to choose what do to with it.

I have 3 things in mind.

1. Supercharge the S. (the S is a weekend toy)

2. Get a used GSXR600 or R6. (used to have one, sold it, now would like to have one as a track bike)

3. New motor for my 96 Accord. (it's my daily driver, it has the base model engine and its pretty tired) thinking H22 or possibly V-6.


What do you guys think.

Thanks
JT

I would say buy the bike, I sold my R6 before I got my S, and really miss it sometimes

But if you only drive the S on the weekends, you might have trouble deciding what to drive!

Here's some additional ideas of what you can do with the cash:

1. "Donate" it to monkeymaker and claim it as a tax write-off to fool the IRS.
2. Lend it to monkeymaker so he can go racing 10 times this year. (This option includes a zero-% indefinite repayment term.)
3. Pay monkeymaker for the right to read excellent advice such as this.

I really don't think you can go wrong with any of these superb choices. I know I couldn't.

"Do do" is slang for a bowel movement. Or a euphemism for shit.

oops ..well you know what I mean..

or maybe I need help deciding what kind of "do do" to do.

..but back to my 'real' question. I am leaning towards the bike because I do miss my old Gixxer but then I think I would have that problem, wether to take the bike or the S out today.

Maybe I should just go with the "do-do"

Moneymaker, I thought about it but none of your additional ideas really excited me too much. Thanks though

Ya, I say the bike, and definitely the R6 over the Gixxer.

just curious why the R6 over the gixxer. I'm talking about an 01 GSXR600 vs 99-02 R6.

just curious on your thoughts.

and my old gixxer was a 98 600.

Definitely go with the bike, but I say definitely GSX-R over R6.
