ok the time has come were i want a new car to play with.
but the only problem is i dont know what to get. i would like to get
at s2000, a mr2 spyder,or a supra or a skyline.but i dont know
what the aftermarket is like for these cars. i was looking for some insight as to which on has the overall best performance and handling capabilitys. because i dont want to have a hard time finding parts for a car.i dont want to go full race i just want to get it to mabey inbetween 4 to 600hp area nothing to massive for the road but yet if i want to go to the track i can give others a good run. i have recently got my cash out of a cd i have had for some time and am getting a good bit from my sign in bonus for the army plus i have a bit in savings.
or should i just go and dump all my money in my 94 accord i allready have?

personally i love accords, so i'd say keep it and work on it. get a new motor, turbo and rework the internals. with money, anyone can go out and buy a fast car... but its a lot more fun to make one.

unless you wanna pay our your as to get a sklyine here forget that. but there are after market for all of those cars. id say SUPRA. my friend is hella into them and they are great cars. you can easlity make your horse power goal with a mk4 and with a bit more work and maybe a little less $$$ you could do it with a mk3. s2000 i wouldnt wanna tune its too much work. get the supra wither mk3 or mk4. great cars fast cars. either that or a TT rx-7

The cars will run you dry on insurance and if you have any $ left after the cost of the car and insurace, aftermarket parts will take that away and leave you broke but hey, that's what it takes to be a P I M P. Go Skyline or Supra. Nothing like TT.:D

i wanted a skylin but i just got thru looking at www.skylinegtr.com
and it was like 95 grand for one type of modle forgot which.
as to getting a supra yea i really want one but i dont even know were to start at looking for performance parts. i thought about fixing up my 4door accord but i wouldnt know what to do with about 70 grand. wtf would i buy with that much money to put on the accordall motor i wish
that would be one hella fast motor :D

no i am very for real i am not gonna put that much into my motor no. i dont think it would be posible for a street car.
and no i am not trying to look cool i should have even mentioned it in the first place. the money was from a cd that was built for me for collage but since i am going into the military there is no need for me to pay for school, therefor more money to play with. i dont want to spend it all on a car or to fix one up i had planned on getting started with a houseafter the choice of what to do about the car i want or weather to fix mine up

i dont really know much about cd's and all but i would put that 67 thousand, well i would keep about 7000, so i would put all the 60,000 and put it into my savings for my life with my future family. for a house or kids college. you could always sell your current accord and buy a newer one and put some mods on that

i owuld buy a 930 turbo restore it then have alotta money left over to keep it running and do other things. i only suggested the supra because it was one of his options and it seems to be what hes into.
on another note... there needs to be a seperation of imports kuz european cars ar so much different from japanese. it makes things complicated

Invest the money! Let it make more money for you then you can blow the money you made off of it! Please be resonable and don't blow that money you can do so many things with it that are alot more important. With cash like that you could earn some serious $ with it if you know where to invest!:D A good thing to look into would be realestate you could put alot down and pay it off quick and sell it and make more profit b/c you don't have alot of $ wasted on intrest. Think about it!

i have been asking questions and trying to help others on this site for a long ass time. i am not trying to be "cool" what do i care if u think i am "cool" or not its not like i am ever gonna see u or anything like that so why would i care if u think i am "cool" or not? As long as i have been on this site i have never tried to impress anyone with what i have or might have. with what i do or dont do. so whats up with that? First time i said anything about what type of money i have and some inconciderate dork like u comes in busting my balls, trying to make me look like a fool.
so thanks for your coments i will write a note to myself to put them in my asshole file.

GTi-VR6_A3 so far i have chosen the supra. the only thing holding me back right now to uying it today is that i havent made up my mind as to were i want to be stationed at i want to go to germany for a while but it would be usles for me to buy it and have it in the states while i am gone,
i would let my girl use it but she dont want to drive a stick. and if i buy a car when i am in germany i wont want to just give it up when i decide to move back to the states.i guess i could just be stationed in texas at ft. hood and get it and later on go to germany but i dont know. i guess for now i should just go to ft.hood and get the supra.
and to u markpa read my first post again all i wanted was infor on
what would be better over all and yea u are right i dont know much about these cars hence the reason i asked. lol
if i did i wouldnt have even bothered with this thread
and since u said u have tons of money i guess i should take anything u say "seriously" u are just trying to look "cool"

-GTi-VR6_A3 Sure there are supras that will hang with the skyline just like there are civics that can murder Vipers, it still doesnt mean shit, overall a skyline is the better car. The only problem you may have is trying to find one for a descent price and then importing it here. Anyways its your money , and ultimatley your gunna make the decision not based on what we think is right , but what is right for you.
