Cars: Love 'em, Hate 'em

I don't know about you guys but I love driving. I love cars. EXCEPT when they break down on my broke ass and leave me hanging in the street. If you have your own car then you know how much it can cost to keep your car running. Especially if your car has been around a long time. I drive a 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT. Not the VR-4 sadly. 5-Speed, 3.0 L V6 DOHC. Pretty much all stock, just an intake with a K&N filter. But still a hell of a ride.

My Baby



 I love my car but it has gotten me in some sticky situations, and hit me hard in the wallet too. Sixteen year old discontinued car; parts are a bitch. Gas guzzler too. I bought it as a project car in hopes of making it awesome but I can't keep up anymore. I'll become a hobo even faster than I thought. I'm selling the car :O

Looking for a replacement for this beast within the $2000-$3000 price range. I was thinking of getting a 1990 Honda Prelude or a 4th Gen Prelude. What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

  7. From personal experience I would say a Volvo 850 is definitely something you would want to look for.

    It's not flashy, but these models are incredibly durable, efficient and best of all they were built to last.

    Considering their age you might find one anywhere between 2500-3500. Might be just a step more expensive but they're def worth every penny.

  10. Hondas are ok if you live in europe. Not sure about parts in the USA... But there is always eBay..
    Get a mazda RX7. 1.3 engine with ~200bhp.
