You're made of cookie batter, PB?
We'll eat you. Then pay you. So, in a way, you're made of money.

Almond budder!



I almost thought about scratching the new car itch with a supercharger purchase. Luckily, Noober already sold his. I have a feeling it would just postpone the inevitable.

Or I can stop being a moron and just love my car and that's it.

Paint it. Then charge it. I'm sure you could scoop up 04WDPSedans SC...

Or better yet, you should make the 4G interior, AWD and engine fit your 3G.

Voila, new car!

I wouldn't paint it before charging it. I have a feeling I'd feel stupid dumping more money into it though...other than oil and tires/align...I should really just stop.

Don't S/C the TL.. Of course Gus probably has another opinion on that.

If you want power, get another car.

Tis is true. Just trying to help you scratch your itch, is all

Mustang GT is a good, safe choice. I have a feeling you wouldn't be disappointed one bit with either a new one or last gen one. You could turn it into a beast even though it's plenty potent from the factory, as is. Keep your TL as a daily.

$300 eBay electric supercharger FTW, Mighty Car Mods verified zero gain for a 3 cylinder Daihatsu, should be at least zero gain for a TL.

that's been a running hypothesis of mine...

supercharge the car, then sell the car. Seems to happen to almost everyone.

I think it's because they end up unhappy with the power they thought they'd make...or they feel "done" with the car and are bored. If that's the case, I might as well be bored and save that $2500 for the taxes on a new car purchase.

Like you said...I want my next car to be fast and AWD/RWD from factory.

S5, E92 M3 hard top vert, CTS-V Sedan manual,
new 5.0...or slightly used 2013/2014 5.0

keep paid off TL to make my 5 mile drive to work every day.

last option PLUS a motorcycle or another S2000. I have some close friends that have told me I'd be their first pick to sell to. 2000 S2000...red, needs mirrors repainted, headlights restored (can do myself) and a wax...all maintenance done...has high end coils, ce28 wheels, high end single exit exhaust, new top, new interior...75K miles and they are the first owners. Tempting if the price was right.

Put down 350 at the wheels for an additional $3K, front is even heavier than it was, bleh. Get a RWD car from factory and be happy with it.

you can get 335i...2011-12 for a pretty good price right now...300 hp that feels faster plus I guess there's a couple tunes you can do (Dinan?) to make it waster. You can get it in a 6 spd. Also, the 335is coupe.

I just randomly recalled how on the Protege the low profile summer tires squealed like piglets being butchered.
Aside from the extremely violent picture, it was hilarious.

I kinda miss that beater car, not giving a shit was great, and taking every turn with the tires going eeeeEEeeee and the car wanting to go sideways was fun somehow. Kind of like driving a kart.

Take your lawnmower apart and clean it all up. Then, put it back together. That'll give you something to do.

Lots if guys go FI and end up dumping their cars for huge losses. No idea why. I think they realize how much they spent and how much debt the accumulated building the thing and choose to smarten up. Just a SC wouldn't be that expensive, but some of those turbo builds are crazy, especially if you start tearing into the engine in either case.

It's crazy how often guys go FI and within 4000 miles of being done, are selling the car. That's why I bought mine with the SC already done
