dont get me wrong, i love me some fd's but 19k for a 20 year old car.... ill pass, i dont like that cars THAT MUCH!! haha

 

[WillD]

Yeah I was a little surprised to see that as well. I think maybe 13k would be more reasonable but then again I have no idea about RX-7 prices

 

[thejeans]

fd's always pull silly money... more money than id ever spend on a car of that age, regardless of how much i love/lust after them haha

You know there just hoping for someone to see it online who will pay anything for one that clean.

 

[WillD]

They have it front and center out by the road wedged in between a couple of VW's so I'm thinking they aren't going for a quick sale.

 

[princess peach]

damn... that's a nice car...

Don't get any ideas, Peaches... (no)

id much rather them go to some of you guys, because i know youd all treat them the way they deserve to be treated. these wheels are just about my favorite thing about the car but my financial situation just doesnt allow for me to keep them right now, unless my mpi tuner sells. corey sold them to me for 400 with bald tires so i think 450 with 10% tires and 2 95% tires worth about 130 each is a good deal.

i really hate to see these go, but i gues if i have to i have to :'(

Here's the problem with that thought process. You're more than likely going to get ******. No offense to anyone on here, but I've seen more deals gone goofy and backed out of for absolutely no reason from people on this forum than anything else. While I can understand you'd rather them go to someone on here, and be treated well... they're ******* wheels. They're not your teenage daughter. Money talks and bulls*** walks. Either someone can buy them and help you out, or you just sit around waiting for this miracle buyer.

Get out of financial trouble should be the first and primary goal. Once the money is in your hands, **** the other s***.

nsx?

as much as i lust after one of those its the same thing... cant justify the scratch for a car that old

yeah, I need to stay away from other cars... I'm sure if I drive one of those twin turbos nice suspension packages I'd be selling my kidneys the next day (I don't have a soul, so kidneys would fetch a good price)...

I'm going to have to agree. You can always get another set of wheels when you have the money.

If I had Jay Leno or Jerry Seinfeld money I'd probably buy an NSX and an FD RX-7 without thinking twice about it if I really wanted them. I'd say it's all relative

April just got another speeding ticket on Monday goin down 475 coming home from work. I think it is $121 or something like that, but she got caught doing 83 in a 65 in her little 2. I told her it tops out at 100 so that thing must have been screamin when she went past the cop

It doesn't top out at 100, and she was probably only around 4k lol. The 2's 5th gear is full of fail unless you've already got some speed, then it has no issues. Around 4k is where the power starts to come in so 80-100 is actually a lot of fun weaving thru traffic lol.

Just because:

^ completely agree if i had silly money why the hell not, buy an FD or NSX but with what i make id rather see that 15-20k go for down payment on a house and a toy (bike, miata or boat) haha

you ask me a few years ago and id have done whatever it took to get an nsx or fd or something like that, but at this point i just dont care haha, id rather have a house to call my own instead of wasting money on renting, id rather pay off my debts and be able to bank money each month than have an "exotic" car that will be realistically driven 6-7 months of the year

Sorry if I already posted this but it's too funny not to post. Levi sent it to me. I already sold my soul too, that's why I'm a bassist...

 

[princess peach]

I lost mine after huffing too many kittens

 

[THE Phen]

Figured out the goofy little issue on the MSM while on lunch. Nothing like working on the car in nice clothes in the parking lot at work. LOL. Downside is that I smell like gasoline.

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Phen what was the source of the misfire? I might just be blind.

 

[thejeans]

from just reading his thread. im not sure he knows exactly, or that its exactly fixed right now... just that it didnt do anything bringing it home the other night... but maybe im blind and missed something too haha
