I'm not saying you're stupid. I just said you're hard headed.

I'm just waiting for you to get on here one day and I'll see an eye candy thread that you created about your new car--tomorrow or something. lol.. and you will have traded in your car where they give you like 8k for it and you buy something for like $35,000 because they let you do it.

I guess if you're able to come out on top, it's not such a bad thing.. but I think you're being a little bitch complaining about FWD and the 1.8T motor and everything all the sudden. Like a week ago you were saying you were going big turbo and ordering parts and whatnot.. and now it's for sale again. You knew what you were getting into when you first started modding your car, or better yet--when you first GOT your car. With all of the things wrong with it, and the high mileage, I wouldn't expect to get much from a trade in unless it's just your lucky day and you go to one of those places that will give you a really high interest rate but give you what you owe on your car to get you out of that hole, only creating another hole of debt for you to hang out in. You said the windshield was cracked, there are dents and dings, front lip is cracked IIRC, it has like 67k miles on it.. and I thought you mentioned a few other misc problems didn't you? It's going to be hard to get a good amount of money for it in that condition Derrick. Truthfully. I sold cars at one point in time. If you're going to sell your car and get something new, PLEASE DO NOT BE IMPULSIVE!

Just a little friendly advice from your cracker homie.

What kind of bike do you have Derrick? I'd bet money you haven't even explored it's full potential. JMO on the bike.

Now answer some questions about what you want. I made a huge post and have yet to see an answer.

I would recommend driving as many cars as possible. If they'll let you keep them for a day, do it. Cars like the Miata or S2000 are great, but you can't really fit that much in them. If that doesn't matter to you, they are great.
Im kind of leaning towards a Coupe with small back seats or a 2 seater. Four - Six cylinder. N/A or factory turbo..doesnt mtter. I don't want a S2k at all or a Miata.

It's just a huge jump IMO. I'd probably go with a 2003 or so 600cc bike. That should be more in the weight range you're looking for and will handle as well as anything out there.
