My wife and I are expecting our first (baby) in Feb, so I figured I needed a family car (besides hers) to drive. My wife wouldn't let me sell the ITR if I wanted to, which I don't, because she said it is a part of the family. (BTW I will install the 2.1L DART talldeck in the ITR when I return from SEMA.)

So I wanted, inexpensive, 4 door, good gas mileage, fun to drive car.

I pick it up tomorrow night.



Yeah, Yeah, Its only a neon, but the ITR is only a integra built on the civic chassis Yes, depriciation, blown headgaskets, Chrysler reliability, ETC ETC....................the damn things are running high 13s stock and its cheap.

She's a keeper

she got a younger sister??

 

2004 , Limited slip, more power than 03

Actually she keeps calling it her car, she wants to drive it in the summer.

Younger sister married with to kids. Just as cool.

Awesome choice!

Can't go wrong with a "fun" car that offers 7/70K warranty and upgrades through the dealer. I'm still waiting for Dodge to call back when they have one for a test drive.

 

Congrats Matt! (On the baby, not the car.....)

So a turbo grocery getter, eh? Hmm..... well, it is black!

I kinda like the idea (in some strange way).

Most importantly, I hope YOU like it.

Is that the exact car you're getting?

 

nice.. i like that car too.. it will be pretty sad when that car can smoke my R tho.

 

Ken,

Thanks, We are excited about the baby.

No that is not the exact one, just a pic I found. Daily driver so I got the sunroof.

OH and Yes dear it will stay stock...............until the break in period is over.

Mattj

 

Nice choice. What is the hp/tq numbers on the new 04 models?

 

I drove one @ the Chrysler Proving grounds a couple weeks ago, I was pretty impressed.

I feel bad for Jessica she's gonna have 2 kids to raise now....

 

i think the srt is pretty cool...the only thing i have against it is the rims

 

Congratulations Matt, those are nice for the money.

Congrats Matt
Nice Daily Driver

 

Congrats on the soon 2 B new-born!!! I'm also glad to hear there's another under standing wife like mine that wouldn't let me get rid of the R even if I wanted to. Hang onto her & God bless on the future family.

 

I would love to have one of those
