    Should I trade my Coupe for this Hatch??

    :cheers: The only thing I can't do is get another job. My dad and grandpa both worked together and built up their business together, and I intend to do the same thing with my dad. And the midlife crisis thing wasn't aimed at you, just an example of what most guys do..

    Should I trade my Coupe for this Hatch??

    I really appreciate you guys "backing me up". I know that in that rant post I came across as quite the douche, but hey, he was a douche to me. And madmike, yes I do have a little wheel problem... some people call it my fetish. Who knows, they could be right! And I definately respect you for your...

    Should I trade my Coupe for this Hatch??

    If it's really who I think it is, he was interested in trying to buy my car a while ago. I let him drive my car, talked with him a little, seemed like a decent guy. Just lowballed me. I was nice and polite to him, and he was too. And I appreciate the compliment! :nice:

    Should I trade my Coupe for this Hatch??

    I bought the car for $200 and it's just turned into a long, drawn out budget build. Right now the car is a complete roller, but it's hard to do stuff to it when trying to stick to my original $2500 budget.

    Should I trade my Coupe for this Hatch??

    WTF. How about I tell YOU something. Every mod that I have done to the coupe during the 2 years I have had it has been paid for BY ME, with the exception of the front tires. I WORKED my ass off for my dad at his tire shop doing tires and oil changes, plus shop maintainence for 3 years SOLID...

    Should I trade my Coupe for this Hatch??

    Well, I have been trying to sell my coupe for a while now, and have had a few decent cash offers, just not enough. I recently got a pretty decent trade offer. Here's the rundown on the cars and a few pics. I'm undecided at this point. I really like the hatch, but my coupe is my first real car...

    ....

    Wow, that's pretty beat. The seats look pretty nice though. I say it's worth saving. Not THAT bad really from some of the other crap i've seen out there.

    My Car Hates Me. I Just Cant Give Up. Lets Play The Whats Wrong With My Car Now Game

    eh, it's my opinion and what in my mind is the truth. If you want to get the best car on the road, go with a Honda or Toyota. American cars... Chevy>ford>dodge. But, if you can keep a fox running, you can run circles around any chevy of comparable specs. That's why I have 5 fords and zero...

    My Car Hates Me. I Just Cant Give Up. Lets Play The Whats Wrong With My Car Now Game

    Sounds like just a regular ford to me. I have bad luck with all of mine too. It's just something to expect when owning a ford. From my and my dad's experience, chevys are a ton more dependable. I would switch back without a doubt if I didn't have projects hanging over my head. Good luck man...

    what rims do you think look better??

    Welds. Just needs a bigger rear tire and its perfect. I say a 275/50/15 will get it looking MEAN

    Please explain this? Never heard of it before... I say go for the Sportlines. I love mine! Stance is dead on, and still rides pretty good.

    makin a switch :/

    Wow, why no love for EVOs? OP, congrats on the decision and getting an EVO!!! They are really fun, awesome, fast cars. Unlike everyone else, I would consider the EVO a MAJOR upgrade over a fox. Have fun with it! Then later on down the road, you can always pick up a fox for 2k or so to mess...

    Should I trade my 97 GT for this 99 GT?

    Thanks for all the input guys! I backed out of the deal. As for a PI swap.. eh. You couldn't pay me to tear into a nice stock car like this one. It will stay stock as long as I have it. Mod motors seem to be lots more complicated that 5.0 pushrods that i'm used to. I've got my coupe for...

    Should I trade my 97 GT for this 99 GT?

    #1 reason- my car is black. I can't stand a black car. If you can't tell, i'm very OCD about how clean my cars are. It is killing me trying to keep it clean. 2. It's going to kill me to DD this car to high school. I will always be scared about what could be happening around my car. 3. I...

    Should I trade my 97 GT for this 99 GT?

    Wow, i'm amazed that you guys like my car better. There's no doubt that my car is nicer, but i'm thinking about driveability more than anything. I dread driving the 97 anywhere because of how nice it is. I'm always thinking that something will happen to it. The 99 is just a car, nothing special...

    Should I trade my 97 GT for this 99 GT?

    Well, a buddy of mine has been after my 97 GT for a while, and he finally offered up his 99 GT. I'm on the edge. I can't make up my mind what I want to do, so I need a little bit of someone else's input to make up my mind! Here's a quick rundown of both cars... My 97 GT... 128,000 miles...

    Changed to 5-lug on my '89

    mine looked almost like that when my suspension was stock. Then I did coilovers and C/C plates and turned the negative camber up some. Now I can actually tuck the tire if I want to.

    What has happened to Americas' Youth?

    I like to think of myself as one of the last gearheads. Cars and girls are the ONLY thing I think about 24/7. But when school is in session I try to focus on that, so far all A's and B's in all honors crap, so I guess I'm not totally obsessed with cars. I'm turning 16 in a few months and am a...

    How do you low budget guys keep motivated?

    I'm one of the world's biggest tightasses. I think for weeks and weeks before buying any part for my cars. Even being this big of a tightass and waiting for good deals, I still have $8200 (including the car) in my coupe. But I guess that's not too bad for 4 sets of wheels, TFS heads, TFS intake...

    Which is what... 20 miles a year??? :D Just messin with ya man! :nice: Hey, i'm 15 so it's perfectly normal for me to want looks over functionality. Plus, I don't care about bouncing around or comfort... yet. But, i'm sure my day will come. That's why i'm going to enjoy it while I can
