Default I can't replace the SC

It's been almost 2 weeks now that I have sold my SC and I can't seem to find any car to replace it. I've been searching and searching for something, but I always end up searching for other SCs at the end of the day.

Have any of you guys been through this?

I know I wont have the power, or as many mods as the other SC, but something is drawing me back to that body style.

funny, i just talked to the kid you sold your SC too. man, you should have thought of this BEFORE you sold it.

but seriosuly, a nice looking car that can make loads of power: 350z with RB swap.


its been done and is something that would compete with any GTE swapped SC.

I'm contemplating just saying to hell with it and buying a damn beater so I can start beating the hell out of other people's cars for a change.

Haha at times, I really wish I can get rid of my car to get something really cheap and economical like a used Scion XA. No more stressing about gas, theft, nor have to deal with the temptation to dump money into it. Live stress free

Me too man, but it seems like I can't leave my damn SC anywhere for 10 seconds without some careless idiot coming along and damaging it. Lately it's been making me contemplate throwing in the towel on this project and getting something like a Nova, reinforcing the pizz out of it, and then commence to teaching fools a lesson.

I almost went to jail this past weekend because some chump damaged my car and didn't leave a note....in a damn dentist's office parking lot at 8am when there was no need to be anywhere near my car at all. Haters...I hope they all die or suffer from a severe case of "little **** disorder" The next person I catch in the act of damaging my car is gonna get the azzwhoopin' of a lifetime. That's on everything..as if my damn knuckles aren't busted up enough from my younger days.

Peter, I would say get another SC but I'm sure there's haters down there too so there's no point...we can't kill 'em...and if I beat on 'em I'll go to jail (again). WTF?

I regreted selling my 5spd for a long time to AJ.

I really missed that car with all the work I did on it. Ended up with SC Owners Disorder (SCOD)... and now I have 2 and want more...
