It's funny how picky you are with the motor choice, yet you can't choose a car.Quote:

an extra 0.2 liters of displacement is going to do wonders -_-
do your parents know that you intend to sell the car and buy a dc2r asap?
it seems they dont know, otherwise i dont see why they wont let you buy a cheaper older car yet reliable. so instead of actually spending the $10K now, spend $3-4K on a car and the rest can be saved to put towards your dc2r.
they know. its cause the car i had before was a shit box, keep having to put money in and fixing it. so for them, buying a new better car for a few years will save me money down the track.
EM1 doesn't come in automatic. and i think he was talking about when i save for my DC2R, get an EM1 instead. so..Quote:

Have you found a car yet?
just buy the EJ8,looks nice and fairly good. Save the left over money for something else, theres more to life than just showing everyone what car you have. Unless you have got the money
why would u need a b18 to begin with though? -_- seriously how many of these threads have u created.. i told you to wait first didnt i? look im your friend and all but like seriously its up to you and your parents.. you have to meet them halfway.. saying that you gotta expect that neither you or your parents will be completely happy about the car that you decide to buy.. but until u can afford to buy the car that you really want outright with your own cash i think you shouldnt complain.. i bought my car myself, had to borrow some moeny off my rents to fix it up etc.. and im paying it off. good luck and be patient..Quote:

im working my ass off to fund my $17000 project on a civic, im in the same boat as you.. i get my green's next april~ but the euro is basically mine.. coz im the only one that drives it so i guess thats my daily... but if i was you i would get the vti-r prelude.. just coz it has tiptronic and you wont get as bored as driving a fully auto car

amen. People are inconsiderate these days.Quote:

from the EJ8, dad would rather spend 9000 on the blue integra, instead of 9000 on an EJ8. If we can get it from around 8k, then he won't mind the EJ8, though he has to go and inspect this weekend sometime, i am working so i cant come with.
and from last night, my dad wants to buy the integra, and even though i showed him a 1999 EK CXi 6,500$ he doesn't want it, he'd rather the integra so who says i am inconsiderate. they want to put more in, and i want a cheaper car, but they want to buy me a more expensive car around 8-10k mark. in eyes of my dad, the more you pay the more extras you will get, and its partially correct, so what do you want me 2 do.
EK CXi, no power windows, crappier interior compared to integra, drum brakes and all that. Integra has more, so dad prefers an Integra even if he has to pay more.
i am being considerate. they told me to wait a bit, and i have waited, and now i'm showing them cars, and they are agreeing and which car to get for me. i am being considerate that they don't want me 2 drive a manual, so i am buying an auto.Quote:

yeah,i would, but i find myself spending a lot on other things and people. thanks for your opinion.Quote:

to be honest with u.. it seems everyone is just getting shitty with u coz its going around in circles :S
maybe, but i am just taking my time and can't seem to find time to inspect.. probably why it seems like that. though in my shoes, just going in a straight line, very slowly with a lot of time slowing things
