Default new car opinions

I'm kinda thinkin about selling my 93 Civic. Why, bcause my last 2-3 paychecks hve been going into making it look/run better and Ima born n raisedmuscle car person and i new that i could buy perf. parts for cheap for this one. My opt's right now would be an 80's Camaro/Firebird, Fox stang V8(if im lucky), a old muscle car, or a Laser/Eclipse/Talon turbo if I sell my car. Wat would you say finish repairing it, or sell it with lower miles now, thnx

Geez, Louise!
What's the shape of the body and chassis? You think we here are gonna tell you to get heavy, overpriced, inefficient Detroit steel?
Rebuild! Lots of cats here can steer you to sources to make your Civy smoke (and do it cheaper than replacing it). It's why we are here, Civics are cheap, fun, and have lots of room to make it your own.

i say do what you want. life's short.

if you like muscle cars, then by all means, sell away and get something vintage.

i got rid of my brand new 06 civic ex coupe last year after i bought a used 98 integra. my wife thought i was crazy, but she doesn't understand the meaning of car fanaticism.

+1, but i say keep the civic becuase i have a friend with a Fox body 5.0 (not fox stang...lol) and he spends $15 bucks in fuel every day, just to and from his job....during a weekend, he will spend from $60-$100 in just 2-3 nights.....to where as my car ill spend $10 for every 160 miles i drive, and maybe...JUST maybey ill spend another $10 if i drive to and from my girlfriends...which is a 45 minute drive both ways, multiply by 2 and you get about 3.5 hr. of driving......i dont drive my 66 mustang enough to know what it gets. but i bet it would cost me about my entire pay check to drive it to and from school every day.
