Default Screw your car?

How many of you said screw your car after you got your bike?

+1 for screw cars I kick myself in the *** everyday for dumping so much money into a Civic and not getting a bike sooner.

I bought an RSX-S after selling my CRX with the mods in my name.....I Hoped to do the same to my RSX and fix it up.....But I bought my '04 Gixxer and now my black RSX is now brown...Ive been neglecting it so much....and i regret spending over $20,000 for a car....I'd be fine with a CRX just to get me from point A to B...As long as I had my bike on the side....

My thoughts exactly.

I have a 2000 Lexus GS400 with over $20K invested in mods, I have a 2001 Prelude with at least $4K in it, and I have a 2002 GMC Yukon with like another $5K in TV's and sounds.

If I could, I'd sell them all, buy a nice Honda Accord or something and have my bike on the side.

Even though I still love my EF, I gotta admit, the bike is more addicting to ride. In the past 3 weeks, I drove my car twice, and that was due to rain. I'm actually about to go out riding right now, and it's farkin freezing (kinda).

Im not at the point i would say "the hell with my car" But lets just say if it is not raining: my cars in the garage. That and the fact that i basically turned my Si back to stock to be able to pay for my bike.
Now im dumping all my money into my bike, and thinking of selling the Si to get a cheap truck so i can transport my bike

i used to drive my car so much that i'd have to do an oil change every 4 weeks. it's been 5 months since my last oil change and i still have another 1000 miles before i'm due. i know i know, supposed to change the oil every 3k miles or 3 months. shows how much i care about my car now

Watch out for hot exhaust pipes - burns don't heal very fast. I guess you could use the gas filler neck - a little bit tighter...

I, too, use my car for hauling stuff. Nothing's worse than working on your bike, realizing that you need a part, and it's in pieces. I use my minivan for hauling lots of parts and my bike-trailer.

You'll be screwed when a winter storm comes through the area.

Seriously though... If I lived where the winter wasn't so damn cold I wouldnt have a car. When I lived in SoVa all I had was a bike, it was great.

Well I was lucky, well sort of. Like 2 weeks after getting my bike I spun a bearing in my Prelude so I had no car for most of the summer. So I didnt have to worry about my car until the cold started to set in and then I had to panic and get a car again
