I'll never finally come to a decision...

As many of you know, there has been a lot of back and forth on whether or not to sell the Talon. The Firebird has seen better days and just cannot go on anymore. Its losing about 3 quarts of oil a week from the rear main seal and its just not worth it to fix it now... Things are starting to break on it left and right and its over for it... I'm gettin rid of the Firebird and keeping the Talon...

Of course, the Talon still has a while until its running. So the question remains, what do I do in the meantime? Well, I have been considering a new car for a DD for a long while now but I was looking at all the wrong cars. I have finally realized I need a practical DD instead of another sports car that'll break every other day and have crazy insurance. So, I found a cheap DD that is new, dependable, and still tickles my fancy... I talked to my mom about co-signing for me and shes all for it. Now all I have to do is get dad to agree and I'll be well on my way to getting my loan and buying it...


Any guesses?

I'll give you a hint... Its a 4 door with awd...





I'll let you all sit on the edge until I get home from work tonight then I'll show it to you.


Oh yeah, if anybody wants a cheap beater car let me know. I'll let the Firebird go for dirt cheap. lol

Re: I've finally come to a decision...

I highly doubt he's gonna spend the money to get a WRX, even used. I'm gonna agree with a lower class, older subaru wagon or something lol.
