Bought my '99 for cash and started ordering parts right away like Angel, just added up some numbers the other night and i've spent almost forty grand in the last six months alone on this project, what is wrong with me??
Funny thing is I still owe some money on my '95 .

As for our cute little Lex truck.....the ball and chain handles the paper on that one, which is fine since she won't even let me put rims on it.

I guess for me the question isn't do I own my SC's, it's do my SC's own me....

Hey, viperhunter, was the integra type R you had the one that was just listed on ebay? The car was stolen and burned, it was just a husk of a car with a type R engine block in it...

And by the way... Financing anything except a house is for the birds. People dont seem to believe my car only cost 12,900 before taxes... a decent amount of cash goes a VEEEEEEEERY long way.

Yeah, I used to be that way for a long time until I bought my first new car in '98. Since then I have always had a car note, and now I'm trying to go back to my old ways of "cash only" cars. Back in college, I didn't mind driving around my crappy 77 Caprice, 83 Grand Prix, 87 Accord, because I didn't have to worry about car payments. Now I just need to pay off that Land Cruiser...........
