Ok guys well I've been throwing around some new car ideas for when I get rid of my Durango. I had a Civic and I liked it other than the fact that it had no ass to get out of it's own way.

I was thinking possibly another Civic. Good fuel economy, with a swap it'd be ok, not to heavy on the wallet across the board. I only got rid of mine cause I couldn't afford two vehicles.

Then I was also thinking a WRX. I can go to a dealer only auction and with the price I'm seeing some 02's go for I was thinking I could probably get one around 10K (dealer auction of course), but insurance on an AWD turbo car that's only 4 years old probably would be kinda expensive.

I'd like a turbo diesel truck, but again my wallet would be the lightest with this one considering fuel economy and insurance.

I'm trying to stay under 10K. Please give me some opinions/options and please state your reasoning behind it. Maybe you guys can help me decide on something I don't have listed. And before anyone says LS1 trust me I'd love to have another one, but it's very hard to find a GOOD one sub 10K and insurance would kick my ass even being 22 and a perfect driving record (knock on wood)

And so you guys know I have like A.D.D. when it comes to cars. I can seriously go from wanting something one day to wanting something completely opposite the next that's why I want ALL opinions.

Get another Ek hatch or coupe. I can see you enjoying one of those. I couldn't see you in a CRX, EF, Or EG at that. Ep3s are gay.

You can get a EK shell for cheap, throw a swap in it for cheap and boost it for under 10k. Your stock EK was just a Slocam. You probably had mixed feelings about having it cause It had no power from the single cam. With a swap and boost, equal's everyday love.

built allmota honda. cheapish, styleish, nice to drive daily. (i dont car what anyone says, unless you have a small as turbo, boosted hondas suck the fat ass to dailey in traffic) easy to find/and find parts.

joe, how is it that I live three blocks from where you work, come in atleast two or three times a month, and we have never met?

MKIII Supra. I'm telling you, any day now they are going to be a commodity. That way when your ADD kicks in, you can sell it for more than you bought it for.

Haha I know no idea. I deliver parts, so sometimes I can be out of the store 6-7 hours a day and sometimes I can be in the store 6-7 hours a day.

You know some of you may not like them, but I really like Lincoln LS'. The V8's get decent gas mileage for what they are (~17/26), they look decently sporty, and the prices for ones with ~50K+ is pretty nice. I dunno how insurance would be though.

you would have the same probblem you had with the ek after the pimpness wheres off.....to frickin slow (and heavy)

btw joe, i usually drive a lifted avalanche and come in looking for nuts and bolts.

That's why I love you, Joe. I adore the Lincoln LS, I have ever since I first read abotu them and saw one. Did you know that it pulls the best Gs of anything in it's entire class?

Well, I don't know what it's class/competition is, but I am pretty sure there's going to be a lower-level BMW and/or Benz in there somewhere.

I didn't get like this (the whole "ADD" thing) atleast not this bad until after I sold my LS1. I seriously had that car for almost 2 years and maybe thought of selling it 1-2 times. Now everything I get I mod then I just sell it.

It sucks honestly.
