Default Which would you rather daily drive?

Im at a cross road right now.

I currently own/daily drive a 2006 GG Evo with a gt30r. I also own a 2000 Integra Type R with a k20 turbo.

I have made my mind up on selling one or the other to replace one or the other with a Nissan GTR.

Which option would you daily drive?

2006 GG Evo GSR
Pros:
Makes 400whp, pretty comfortable (has a/c), 4 doors
Cons:
Expensive to drive, higher maintenance then ITR. Resale?

Car makes 20-24mpg.


2000 Integra Type R
Pros:
FAST (makes up to 350whp daily, 500whp), will have a/c
Better Gas mileage
Car makes 28-30mpg
Cons:
social class issues (viewed as a kids car)



Which car would you rather daily drive?

tuff choice, but i'd pick the EVO, simply because you can park it and not worry about it all the damn time. am i right guys? plus you get the benefits of AWD. but like mtny said BALLER

Didn't I meet you at Expo 4 years ago? Weren't you 18 then? Would that make you 22 today?

The Evo, only because you'd get to keep it more than a week before it got taken.

I think selling either is a bad choice, solely due to timing. The Evo is going to be tough to sell right now with gas prices clost to $4. All the AWD cars have dropped significantly in value for this reason. On the other side, GTRs are going for thousands over MSRP. I would consider waiting on the purchase. Just buy a TL-S in cash and sit tight for a year.

A swapped and turboed ITR is a hobby car, not a daily driver.

Seems like an easy choice (even though resale on the swapped ITR is going to suck).

Personally, I'd sell both and get a TL for a daily and use the Nissan as a weekend car--if you have the scratch.

23 years old. lol. What a huge waste of money at such a young age.

Sell both and buy somthing very economical that will save you gas.

Then I would just wait for the GT-R Spec V

I guess you have self social status issues

I hope the GT-R makes you feel statusly Defined

Yea, What ever.

Maybe he's selling his house to fund his automobiles. Look at the realtor lock on the door in the ITR picture.

lol @ the Escort turbo (or was that an EXP?).

Classy neighborhoods are prime targets for theft. For everyone reading this, don't let your surroundings blind you.

the itr is a 'kids car' to many people, but then again so is the evo.

the ITR is way more unique, cant just buy another one with a turbo k20.. chances are you wont ever get another like it, or as nice.

keep the ITR for a hobby/showoff (personal skill in this build!!) and buy the GTR or get a bike for cheap gas with a huge buzz!!!
