Well here is the dilema. Right now i have a 01 PY Type R. I just turned 22 and i am still living with my grandparents mainly cause the car. If i didnt have a car payment i could live nicely on my own but if i keep it i will be stuck here for 3 more years. Now i love my car dont get me wrong but i also like my privacy. My plan was to a cash car for daily driving and a eg hatch for my toy. Now the only problem with that is an eg doesnt handle like the R. So i ask u what would u do and what what Honda could one day handle like the R. I am open to suggestions and thanx for your help.

 

Keep the R. You will for sure move out on your own some day. Enjoy living cheep, pay off the R, and then move out.

 

Agreed! Larkin who is almost 21 and will live w/ parents for next 3 years

 

I kind of fiqured those were the responses i was going to get. Stay true to the R. The only complaint i have about living here is that i have to share a room with my brothers....2.

 

sleep in the car

 

whats your payment like, i dont see how it can be so bad unless you didnt put much down mine is 272 a month who hoo. Also if you want you could always re-finance your car payment that would help you pay it off with a little less interest and not move out right now but maybe in 2 years instead of 3 well thats my 2 cents hope i helped if not i atleast bumped the post

 

Trade for my Prelude + cash and be rid of that filthy R

 

sell the r, buy an old sk00 hatch and throw an azz of parties in your own pad!!!

:edit: hell i'll drive over to TX and party wid j00!!

rob- 21, living with parents for semester. no rent owns!

 

Keep the R

 

move out AND keep your R. sleep in your ITR, and have your privacy in there too, just dont turn the back seats champ white

 

lol

 

Keep the R!!!!!!!!!!!

 

No rent, no utilities, no phone bills, no food costs OWNZ!!!

Living on your own is expensive!

 

Yea it is. Stay at home as long as you can. Trust me on this. I dont plan on moving out until I can keep my car and still live in a nice place.

And how much do you pay a month? Even with my insurance my total payment on my car yearly is only 4400 bucks!!! And it costs about 1300 around me just for a place unfurnished, no utilities for a rather crappy place

 

i say try to find a better job and try ur *** off to have both!

 

I pay $512 a month plus $200 in insurance. Yeah, right now this car ownz me in all forms of the word. If i didnt have a car payment and a car with such high insurance I could build a killer hatch and have a nice pad. I am still not sure. I just dont want to regret selling the R if i do sell it. Thanx for your advice. You guys always give me good info. Honda-Tech ownzzzzzzzz

 

im gonna say dont sell it once again because once paid for you could have a nice reliable car and have your own spot as opposed to having a bad *** hatch and your own place, dont get me wrong i would love to have a nice hatch but you will always loose on the selling end with dumping that kind of cash into a civic anyways good luck with what ever your decision may be even if you sell the ITR keep comin back to honda tech

 

keep da r.....i have a fast *** hatch and wish i had the r instead!

 

I admire U for wanting to make a big step & move out on your
own. But, you wanted opinoins & if it were me I'd keep the
R!!! You can always make ends mete some where down the line
to move out. But if your living in peace with your folks ,
I'd ride that for a bit longer. KEEP THE RRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!
Good luck!

 

I am turning 24 and should be buying my R in 4 months. Plan on living with my parents for another 3 to 4 years down the road. My opinion will be to KEEP THE R!

But just to clarify if you do buy a EG, it CAN be made to handle just as nice as a ITR. With the proper suspension, brake, and sway bars, it will fair nicely against the R.
