Ever since I bought a new Pathfinder LE (w/ the works) last week, my GSR hasnt moved an inch in the garage. I just started the engine for a bit and that was it. I think I have outgrown this car (I am 27 now) and the Pathfinder is just 10 times more fun to drive. I know it is in a different category of vehicles but I feel 'guilty" since I babied the GSR from day one.

Anyone have similar things happened, suggestions? And NO, I am not selling the GSR, I just need to bring some new life to that car. I think that car has feelings and is crying "drive me now, I am bored in this garage".

 

two words:
forced induction

 

I agree...boost...that will enter you into a whole new world of learning and new modifications, as well as put a smile on your face!

 

well...if somebody find a pathfinder more fun to drive than an integra, i don't think any boost would make it more appealing. Ok, it would for me.

It'd be different if he bought a fast car, and then found the teg less exciting. But he bought something totally different. It's slower, taller, more posh.

I get that feeling sometimes also, wonder how much longer I'll be driving a high school car. It's weird though, I'd be more hesitant to let go of the CRX than the Teg.

 

I hear ya man, I'm 29 and growing old of my teg too.Getting tired of breaking things and spending lots of money. Maybe by adding more power that will make driving your car fun again. Or maybe you can add wheels to it or something.
A Drag 3 kit should put a smile on your face.

 

My family bought a Pathy LE as well - both cars are fun... I just drive whichever one I'm in the mood for. Some days I feel like driving an SUV, others I feel like driving the teg. Both cars serve their purpose well though. As others have said though, if you make your gsr faster (w/FI or whatever), it'll help differentiate the cars even more.

Sometimes I feel like I'm too old for my teg, get tired of the import scene, and just want a big suv to haul friends around, etc., but the feeling never lasts

 

thats how I feel about my car in a way...you say go FI, but I been there already. Im thinking about a 4runner but I know Im going to miss going fast. what a diliema...

 

Can't say i understand, as I hate driving SUVs but thats just me. I can definitely understand getting tired of your car and wanting something else though.

 

When I compare the interior and comfort between the two, the GSR just dont even come close. I will probably do some stereo upgrade, or aftermarket seats will do it. Yeah, the path is not fast but strong (240 hp and 265 torque) is plenty even for that heavy load. FI sounds like a great idea but I just shelled out 10k for down, and with the mortgage and all, my wife will leave me

 

That's a sacrifice you'll have to make.

 

Have you tried taking the teg out for autox or road courses?

 

bah an SUV over a GSR?, no thanx. I can understand if you bought an M3 or a WRX but a Pathfinder? Sorry but I just hate SUV's in general because they block everyone's view and they handle like pigs.

 

yea man, i know what u mean, im actually wanting to step into a Beamer. Im selling my LS/GSR now. check my sig to see
