ok so i’ve been bouncing back and forth between a few options for a car next year. I really can’t keep my mind decided on anything and I need to make a decision before I end up wasting more money. keep in mind if I sell my car I will probably get about 4K for it in the spring. Also, next year i’ll be financially stable enough to maintain a car payment as well. Option 1 : sell the Z24, buy a C5 Vette. i’m considering this because i’ve always loved them, and they are so damn cheap right now. last night i found an '01 z06 with 26K on it for $19,000. Option 2: Sell the Z24, buy a G35. a slightly more expensive option. But there is no denying that a g35 is sexy as hell and can pull its own weight around pretty decently. probably end up in the $22k range. Option 3: keep the z24, and continue on with some plans that i’ve already had. (different motor + boost) and much more. such as more suspension, and chasssis mods. also eventually lose the bodykit. eventually dump another 4 grand or so. Option 4: say fuck it all and buy a nice comfortable 4 door AWD car that can move around pretty good and try to convince myself to drive it all year. i.e. STi/EVO. this has been killing me for a while and i’m not sure what i’ll end up doing. just wanted to see some other opinions. ---

🤣 This is the first time anyone in the history of the world has debated between a Cavalier and a Corvette. :ham: If you’re talking DD then G35C, if you’re talking toy then C5 Vette. ---

Prices have definitely come down for the C5 vette, but nowhere near enough so that you can get a Z06 for 19k unless its salvage and/or wrecked. ---

I love my civic to death, but if I could afford an STi/Z06/G35, I would set the civic on fire. Just remember the phrase that pays - “You can’t polish a turd” ---
