Interesting, I've used them for years without issue, but about 4 months back several of my credit cards had fraud on ten and I attributed to probably an online vendor that I've done business with, they would be the most obvious one to me since most of my online purchases are for car stuff...
I spent over 500/mo for over 5 years on my Evo. I will NOT be doing that again. It's been paid off for almost a year now and that makes it much more enjoyable to drive. And I was out of college with a good paying job. Having a large car payment sucks. If you must try to keep it under...
It's easy enough/ cheap enough to boost the stock motor and if you want more proceed to building a new bottom end like you're planning and research megasquirt as suggested. I ran my 420a for 20k+ miles boosted on the stock motor and the motor was still running strong when I sold it. Ran at...
I don't have my eclipse anymore but i would definitely get another, then buy two ford gt's, one as a 3 season dd and the other as an investment which will eventually cover the cost of the one I daily, their prices are still insane and I don't think they'll ever go down much, they will definitely...
Also a CPA and formerly big 4 public accounting. Depending on where you live the pay can be very good. I came out of school making over 50 and was at 70 in 3 years although that's when I got out (didn't intend to get out so early, but life happened and it was the right move at the right time)...
Old thread but excluding the two 2gnts I bought to part out, I bought my eclipse when I was 16 and eventually parted it out and scrapped it by the time I was 26. Bought my Evo at 21 and still dd if at 28. That's it for me without including the cars my wife gas had in the tine we've been...
Im going to go out on a limb here. As much as I love DSM's, what about an e36 or e46? Sure you're not going to have the cheap easy mod ability of the dsm but it will probably be easier to find one that isnt beat to piss and it should still be a pretty entertaining car, not to mention they're...
Financing my Evo was one of the worst financial decisions I ever made. I absolutely hated paying $500+ per mo. It was fine with 2 salaries and no kid, but now with one salary (even though its about the same as our two when i first had the evo) and a daughter, I could never see myself making...
Jesus the price on these has really gone up in the last couple years. I couldn't get that much for my turbo'd rs a couple years ago and all it needed was an 02 sensor, I ended up parting it out
6 years ago I had two accounting internships, the first in a small company was $15/hr the second in a large company was about $24/hr. certain fields 17/hr is shit
I pay about $110/mo for my ix. I'm 27 and married living in nj where car insurance rates are amongst the highest in the country.The 28k seems high and I'd want to know the cars history for that much, remember many low mileage evos were only used for the track or modded heavily and then...
I saw one of these in a parking lot about six months ago and must've drive by it 5 time thinking both that's kinda cool looking and what the hell is it
Nobody else has mentioned it, but I'd be wary of buying any awd vehicle with tires that had significantly different wear. Sure sign of improper maintenance in my eyes and although you may never experience serious drivetrain issues with such a car is rather not take the chance.Edit: almost...
^ what he said. And while your at it bust your ass to find a replacement for the room to help you pay the lease for the last six months. Likely the landlord can go after all of you but I bet it would be easier for him to go after the two that didn't write sublease and a shorter term next to...
I used to hit up the cloud cars (stratus cirrus, whatever they were called) as they tended to have black interior bits that were the same as the 2g DSM. I would grab basically whatever I knew worked in a 2g to sell. Usually each item only costed a couple bucks and then I could resell for...
For a 2500 car if something serious takes a shit to the point you can't drive it, you're not likely to lose too much if you we're part the vehicle out. But yes general maintenance and repairs will cost more on the BMW.If you are looking for a car to drive for years go with the chevy because...
FF does have there new 818 kit out or coming out based off of the impreza (I don't remember if it is wrx or not) which they claim can be built for $15k including kit and donor parts
I don't have a clue I've been thinking about a new car for the past year or so and still have no idea what I want next. I've been all over the map from genesis sedan to Audi/BMW wagon to cts-v to g35 and so on. Really depends on whether I keep the evo and get another car or trade the Evo
Hehe since I posted in here way back when, I sold the above mentioned rims, parted out the 2gnt and paid off the Evo. Also done plenty of work on the house and to the garage but there's always something else to do. Oh and getting married and having a kid REALLY changes the priority of where...
That orange one isn't the best example, look at a few others and you may change your mind on their looks. Personally I've seen some that look great (IMO)
If you've got a uhaul near you just rent a truck to tow with when you need, will take a long time to spend 10k on rentals not to mention you don't have to insure it or pay for maintenance. ($200/ rental would still be 50 times of renting before having paid in 10k). Really depends how many times...
I dd my Evo, but after six years and 100k miles with it I am starting to look for something more comfortable to DD.V1 cts-v, 335, and genesis sedan are all weighing on my mind
Just wanted to get some feedback from you guys. It's a bit out of the ordinary from what we are used to over here, but it's something that kind of interests me (I want luxury in my next DD but I don't want to spend a ton of money either).luxurycarbargains.comalso (although I've really...
This is what's wrong with this country. You made a conscious decision I not carry full coverage (and therefore exposing yourself to risk) and then you expect someone else to pay for the damages when something does happen. You said it'd common knowledge that that area gets icy and the government...
Not a lawyer but a CPA with a few buddies who are lawyers. Law and accounting follow the same rules for making good money, work in a firm first (ie if you are a lawyer work in a law firm) for a few years busting your ass and when you're worn out you can go work for a company making much better...
He can always change (or threaten to change) insurance carriers if in fact he doesn't need full coverage by law.No offense though if it's not his only vehicle maybe he should just get rid of it if he still owes a balance on a 6k loan for a vehicle he has had for at least two years.If it is...
Pretty much where I ended up with my Sti. At some point you look at your massive amount of HP and think, what the heck am I driving this around for? Then you start thinking about how so many other cars will be more comfortable, they wont smell bad and you never use all the HP anyway. Then you...
Under 10k, what about a Miata if you want something different than you're used to, or just sell your other car and go back to an Evo DD. Although im 26 and have DD'd my Evo for almost 5yrs now and I'm longing for something more comfortable on a daily basisOr a boxster
Cheap and electronics are usually not a good mix, doesn't mean you have to go big, but at least go with a brand that's reputable for the product.What about Costco/bjs?
This would be easier if you said what your budget was.Otherwise S4, 135, 335, viper, nsx can all be had for under 30k although may need a bit of extra maintenance beyond what you wantIf your budget is bigger, cts-v
Can't go wrong with craftsman. I broke a 1/2 inch ratchet by trying to get a bolt off with a 3ft pipe on the ratchet, bring it to the store and walk out with a new one. They did ask me how I broke it but I just said trying to get a bolt off
