Default dc5 is PISSING me off

my car has given me too many problems and today just topped it off. it just shut off in the middle of the freeway. luckily i was able to just cruise and stop on the side and get it running again.

our family sorrrrta needs a minivan. i'm wondering if i should just sell this stupid problematic bitch and get a minivan.

should i keep putting up with this **** or just get a new car? i figure the expenses of fixing this car will continue to stack up, especially if i continue modifying my car.

Before you get ahead of yourself, why don't you actually find out what's wrong with the car before you make any hasty decisions. This issue is pointless until you do so. Till then.

lol. i was just pissed off yesterday. honestly, though, my car just seems to be cursed. everytime i get something installed on this particular car, something has to go wrong.

and besides, our family needs a minivan more than we need a coupe. it would be more practical.

we have two rsx's in the garage. don't need two

The Sienna is just as expensive if not more so. If you really NEED a minivan and you try out the Odessey, you wont go anywhere else. The Odessey is next on our list when our kids get bigger in a few years. In the mean time my wife is pimping the Accord S/E, those things are huge on the inside. Its like driving a land yacht.

Minivan? Don't sell yourself short. Start out with a 4DR WRX or SRT-4. Family vehicle you can mod if you want and still have fun.

haha yeah accord &gt; than camry

But suvs and trucks are all toyota.

4runner and Tundra, Tacoma too!!

As far as vans go though.. not my forte but I would say its a toss up.

Hondas and Toyotas are really the only cars and trucks i will buy. (atleast at the moment)
