why not keep the milly as the DD and sell the rotting p5?

yes i know what i said may be considered blasphemous but the milly has a much better body as far as rust and such doesnt it? means you wouldnt have to work nearly as much to "keep up" with the rust and would allow more time for the project car

i agree with Levi on this one.

although, now the milly is actually worth something for selling purposes; hell, you'll actually make some money on it!

tough decision...good luck man!

Milly is running and can be sold and driven away today, the p5 not so much. That could be the biggest factor.

 

[CTt3P5]

I've done that too, but haven't hit the brake in the p5. maybe it has a smaller pedal?

and just to vent a little, There's a company doing a background check on me because I'm a finalist for a position and 3 times now they've asked my to send them info on my self. Makes me question how good they are at checking backgrounds if they can't find these things themselves. end venting...for now.

It could be more of a matter of being thorough vs. them being incompetent. When I enlisted in the Navy, I had to fill out their background check forms before going to boot camp and twice within boot camp I was called down to give specific information again. I thought it was redundant at the time as well but learned that they were looking for discrepancies in my answers. After boot camp my parents told me that several neighbors came to the house saying that 'these people' were at the house today asking about Jeff. haha

I think it was more incompetents because after I emailed them the address of school, school district name and former name (City though Public Schools sounded bad) they found it.

I GOT A NEW JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Back to working for Huntington, and it's the position I was told I had only to not have then to be asked again if I wanted it cause they had another opening. I don't really care if it's true about a another opening. I start Monday in the Special Mortgage Division. Fancy name but basically it's reviewing loan documents for for customers with issues on things like their APR etc. and things with real estate investments through Huntington. Obviously better pay than where I'm at and I'll have weekends free...to change diapers.

The main reason for selling the Milly would be to buy Josh's P5 since I don't have $6k laying around. I wouldn't mind my old P5 as my DD. She may be rusty but she's trusty!

Ah....just trying to spin a different perspective but yeah...sounds like they are dolts. Either way CONGRATS on the new job and all the new free time for changing diapers!

Keep the P5 and the Milly and sell all of those ghee-tars to raise money for buying Josh's P5.....then you just need to figure out where to park it....lol

 

[ajkulish]

Nevaaaaaaa! haha. That is the good thing about musical instruments is they hold their value a hell of a lot better than cars... I totaled it up about a year ago, I've had 15 basses. Now I just have my 3 babies. I'll never sell my Fender Jazz though, I've had that since 2004.

I know how you feel, I would never ever sell my drumset. It's got too much sentimental value. And I could probably sell it for close to what I bought it for...especially since I've kept it in near-perfect condition.

 

[rally2003]

So I went and drove the 92 MX6 that I saw on craigslist and it really isn't all that bad for $1000. It's hard to knock on a car for $1000 that runs and drives great for as old as it is and HAS NO RUST! WTF My MSP has more rust on it. Come to find out it was a Florida car until the last 3 years. It is her dd and drives it every day (she has no other car) The cruise control still works. The only bad thing I could pick on was shifting from 1st to 2nd is give or take. If you shift fast it will grind a little, but if you grand ma shift it shifts fine between those points. It was really weird going from cruising at 70 in my car to driving 70 in that car. Crazy that cars changed that much in 11 years. I think I'm going to get it for driving to work and school and savethe MSP for the grocery getter/weekend fun racer. Plus I have the motorcycle to commute on when it gets "nicer" out. Today was crazy. Any thoughts on the the MX6 2.2L 5spd?

 

[thejeans]

^ cant go wrong with a beater for a thousand bucks!

 

[rally2003]

That's what I was thinking Levi. Plus I could always slap the extra HR's that I got on it. Would be funny that the wheels are almost worth more than the car The worst part is I'm use to a almost 3" throw and not the 12" throw between gears in the 92.

On a side not why do all the hondas get the cool rims? I would love to have these on the MSP.

Absolutely! That F2 is probably one of, if not the most stout stock motor Mazda's built, besides the FE3. 300+whp on stock internals, ok! Does the gas gauge work? I know that's a common issue. I'd really consider getting a clean MX6 GT if something were to happen to mine. I love the way those first gen's look.

 

[rally2003]

Gas guage works. Verything works. That is why I was really suprised when I turned the cruise control on and it maintained 65 mph. JUst needs a brake light fixed. I wish it was a gt. I wouldn't of even thought about for the body and engine at that price. At first glance it looks kinda like a Acura Integra

Yup yup! It's rusty, but it's not THAT bad to where it's going to rott out from underneath of you any time soon, or be unsafe. Should be solid for years to come, or at least solid enough to be a good DD. I think everyone thinks your rust is worse than it is. It's not GOD AWFUL OMGKILLITWITHFIRE, it's just not a shell you'd want to dump thousands of dollars in. lol

.....or swap P5 parts.

Congrats mang!

+1!

Sounds like a good deal to me!

 

[Josue6WGN]

In dealer 6 wagon news, I called the guy today. He gave me a list of parts they replaced on the car. Battery, a coil, thermostat w/gasket, couple plugs (not sure why not all 6?), and an oil change. A bad coil could've explained the CEL in the pic.

I put it all on the line for my neighbor today. All he has to do is give me the word, and I'll run to the bank, get a loan, and buy his car. Then part my car out, use that money to make the loan payments, wait for Evan to come up with the cash to buy my car at a reduced price when it's stock, then pay the loan off. Maybe knowing that he has a buyer for his car will help him make up his mind, because he still sounds like he's on the fence. In a series of texts, he'll tell me about all the MS6's he's finding and how he's going to take a look at them, then the next text he'll say how hard it is to give up a great car w/no payment. I totally understand, because I'm in the same boat, but I kind of need a definite answer here! I don't want him to waffle for a few weeks, then decide he wants to keep the car, then the one at the dealer is gone too, and I'm back to square one. There aren't many nice 6 wagons in the area in my price range!

I thought about getting those and getting the hub bored out when they had them on clearance a while back (02 lexus is fitment guide)

and $1000 for a beater with almost no rust and seems to run good is a good deal


Thanks for the congrats everyone! and Josh I got a big NO on swapping/modding anything for the p5 until the msp is done and we have a house
