Default So close!!!

Depending on how big my paycheck is I might be able to pay my car off today! I only owe a little less than $150 on it. I trippled my monthly payment so that I could pay it off in less than 2.5 years instead of 4 years. Woot woot!!!

After today, I plan on saving some cash for my mods but I also want to get a 1999 or 2000 SI coupe too. I just have to figure out where the hell I would put it being that my driveway is full with only 3 cars in it (my mom's, my dad's, and mine) and my garage is in no shape for storing cars (or walking in without a hard hat because the roof is rotting and wood/shingles keep falling).

I figure I'll up the hp's on my car with I/H/E but not doing the engine swap or mini-me like I had originally planned. I'll keep my car as my nice daily driver and if I can get my grubby little hands on an SI, that'll be my fun on the weekends car.

Yes I ahve not had a car payment either then again that shows with the fact that it seems like each month it gets something new. But that may slow down those 350z's are starting once again look quite enticing

Congrats. Speed mods?...Meh. Get a bike if you want to have some fun screaming around while topping 45MPG. Something like a DR-Z400SM with a big-bore kit would be a cheap screamer for twisties. There are some smaller 250s out this year that'd make fun supermotos too. Check out www.thumpertalk.com. Eddie tunes 300lb DR-Zs to put out over 50HP on the dyno for pretty cheap. Do the math on THAT power:weight ratio!

Keep your LX fairly mild for MPG and reliability.

That SI wouldn't be a bad daily driver either. If I were you I would keep the SI as the daily driver and use the EK as a project car, make it into a beast

Haha I do want a bike (my boyfriend just sold his '92 Suzuki GSX-R 750 in May...I miss that bike!![sm=boohoo.gif]) but I would probably kill myself if I got one. Plus the people around here drive like idiots ( I try not too).
