What should I do about a car?
 

After a 3 year wait from a DWI w/ no traffic violations, my insurance and driving record finally goes back to normal in August when I renew. I'd love to buy a newer truck like a Chevy SS silverado. But then I also just thought about getting a small 4k loan or so for a CRX w/ a B16 or a GSR Teg. I'm just wanting something reliable as hell, and reasonably priced. I know I will have to have full coverage on whatever I get if I get a loan, or financing. What do you guys think I should do? I'm missing a "fun" car, and my 88' Chevy truck is on it's last ticks (327k miles and brakes are shot). I have a company truck so I dont need a truck. But between the CRX and Teg, dollar for dollar what rout would you go?

teg because it's newer and has a different feel than a crx... when driving a crx it feels like a hooptie.

Re: What should I do about a car?
 

maybe ur crx ... energy suspension bushings FTW not to mention all the other suspension but the biggest thing is the bushings

Re: What should I do about a car?
 

I have them both and they definitely have a different feel... The teg hasn't been running yet, but I've rode in one before, and pretended to drive mine :8

The crx is more "fun" in my opinion since it feels like a little gocart. It's definitely got some hooptie characteristics since it's so old and tiny, but they can be decent cars. Teg is newer and feels a lot safer to drive in, and their price is about the same :P

i would say the Teg. cause it has cup holders.

Cup holders....hold that ---- between your legs. I'd go with a GSR. Alittle more classy and just more nice.
