DSM Winter Car, RX-8 Summer Car.

[viprez586]

I've decided to keep the best of both worlds.

I was very tempted to sell the Talon or part it out completely but that proved to be quite the challenge in this economy.

I've decided to keep my Talon as a winter car, put the EVO3 16G on it and maybe that'll make me love it again.

Onto the RX-8, yes i know it's not that fast in straight line performance - I don't care - It handles amazing in all other aspects, has more options, and IMHO would attract many more females.

Pff i would rather get in that 1g with you any day ...big boy

whats wrong wit hthe talon, i would take that mazda back and get a 2003 evo with 50k on it, street value for a 03 evo is 13-17k theres one locally fully built at 500hp for 20k flat

that talon has more horses than the rx8... Not the comfort though

 

[costas14]

hahaha i bet, put some recaro seats in the talon and it'll be awesome

i agree with the aforementioned...if thats the case cop an EVO and throw some suspension on it. thats a nice lil dsm family there!

 

[housegsx]

I do the same thing, well complete opposite actually. The dsm is my summer car and I have an S2000 for the winter.

 

[Bender]

I do the opposite too. My DSM is my summer car, and my stage 5 cobalt SS/SC is my winter car.

 

[jstgon]

yea my winter/dd is my focus and when it is ever gonna be done the talon will be the summer/ weekend driver.

 

[viprez586]

I wanted an Evo but I cannot afford one.

I'd rather ride in something comforting that will get me some chicks numbers' and not be dirt slow. Drive a 92 that's semi-gutted, has 177k on its original chassis except for the GR-2s daily and tell me how much you like it. Especially when your daily driver becomes an every weekend project there's not too much to be said.

Let alone I began to realize how much money I've invested into the Talon and how unrealistic it is to dump even more money into it.

You know a 97-99 eclipse would def. Get alot of numbers, especially with a little suspension work .

There are some of us that are fortunate enough to attract women without the bling.

i just spent 500 bucks on a black on black 97 saab 900 turbo with 221k on the clock, and it came with snow tires, i put 200 miles on it and its a beauty. when i got my gsx, within 200 miles it costed me a grand, within 5k miles i did a headgasket and now i got the motor and trans out and waiting for a tranny

 

[viprez586]

Exactly, I'd rather spend more time driving or at least knowing that my car is driveable, then spending all my free time and extra cash just to get the car running again.
