A very close friend’s birthday is this weekend so I am going to come down. If the weather is nice, I’ll take the VR-4.

I plan to lay waste to you bitches as I come across you on my travels. :runaway

hes got the nicer one of the DSM lineup and its modded nicely, eclipses are a dime a dozen, a nice 3kgt is tough to find. his isnt all shitty and rotted out. its in good shape, so its worth money. a lot of eclipses in the area are rusted fartcannon wheelbarrows

It sits in my driveway with a tarp over it. I start it/drive it about once every 4-6 weeks and take it to the store. When it’s nicer out, I drive it to the store/down the highway every month.

We also have:

2006 Grand Vitara  
2001 Elantra

and looking at a new Toyota for the wifey.

We also have subway within 1.5 miles and Metro North/Amtrack within 1 mile.

We typically just drive into Manhattan in the SUV on the weekends, park, and then take the subway. We have too many cars. The VR-4 and Elantra are going as soon as we have buyers.

It is a lot of memories. I just worry it will be abused. I just don’t have the time for it anymore and I want a house. I have to have priorities.

With the VR-4? Rarely. I am only driving as I need an oil change and don’t have time to do it here and I get better MPG with it than my SUV.

You got anything done since you went 124MPH? 🙂

If I bring it up, I will letcha know. I only have meth since then so I don’t need to buy any race gas.
