Default My little DB8...

I've had this car for about a year and I'm a senior in highschool. I had a little beat in it for a while but a couple of weeks ago I got my car broken into and everything was stolen. I'm bout to enter college and my car is near 110k miles and I just don't know what to do with this little lady. I want a fast dependable car so I don't know if I should just wait and save up for her or just keep driving then get another car in a couple years that I can start with. Come on guys I need some help with this, I'll post pics soon.

Honestly, you are the only one that knows what you want. I am in college, and still have my 1994 DB8. I love my car, and it hasn't given me any reason to get rid of it. Even if you have to spend a little money on maintaining the car, chances are you will still be spending less than a new car payment would be. I am glad to have my car. It is cheap to own and operate. Gas mileage is good... depending on modifications, and the reliability is top-notch... depending on owner/driver. I would save your money for now. School is so important right now. Good luck with your classes, and enjoy your graduation. Life is a new ball-game after high-school. It only gets better. If you ever feel like you want to get a new car, and financially you can't do it, buy a little some thing for the Integra just to renew your interest. I am currently in that state with my beast. I love the car, but man do I want some of the features of newer cars. For example... I love the look, and added safety of the HID headlights on the Acura TSX, but I can't afford a $30,000 car. So, for about the cost of one or two monthly payments on that car, I will retrofit HID's to my Integra... problem solved, (for me at least). Good luck on your decision.

I love my lil ole DB8! It's a 95 GS-R with 62,000 on the clock and runs great! She's clean in and out and gets a lot of attention when ever we're out and about.

Lately I've beer thinking of selling her before she ends up stolen like so many others.

I just don't know what to replace her with though, maybe a WRX. My wife has a 2004 WRX wagon and I love driving it when she'll let me. Perhaps a 2002 or 2003 bug eyed WRX wagon...

I feel you. These Tegs are not easy to let go of, like I said, I really love the heck out of mine. But my wife wants me to get into something newer. I'll just have to wait and see what turns up...

Peace,
TQ
