Default so ive been doing a lot of thinking

well ive been thinking a lot lately (i know its hard to believe) and i think i may say goodbye to the neon. im getting older and i will be getting out of college in a few years and im going to need a car that is reliable and is going to start and run right for me all day every day. i mean i can turn the car completely back to stock and have that, but i would like something with a little more power, so this is what i decided to do. i am going to turn the car completely back to stock, fix the blown headgasket. i will then sell the car and all my parts for it. i hope to have a good chunk of change after that and then i will probably buy another car, ive been looking at wrxs and ive been talking to my dad and he thinks its a good idea. im not going to do anything to the new car aside from maybe intake and then we are going to buy an old car together possible a nova and rebuild it together, and i will have a good reliable car to drive as i go into the real working world. now by all means this is not happening until at least the summer, but those are my plans as of now. my neons been a great car to me and it will probably be my favorite because i learned so much on it...like dont over torque things haha. but seriously, its been good. ill be selling all my parts at some time, so i expect you guys to all buy them because they have been touched by me and therefore add an extra 20hp each

Didnt you just build a custom turbo kit????[sm=wtf.gif]I'd buy your Halos ( I could use the 20 extra hp. lol) but sadly I have a 2000 so they wont fit.

Wow your sxt is my sxts inspiration . Ill buy your halos and your side makers and maybe your rims and tires. I love your gunmetal rims and 17s a step up from my 16s. Wrxs are some awesome rides. me Im lookin for either a lifted truck or a lowrider for my next show ride. Kind of getting sick of having a car I really want a show truck.

I actully like wrxs somewhat better than there brother the sti . You can mod engine wise a wrx alot cheaper than you can a sti since stis are more anyways . Wrxs are even cheaper for insurance wise also than a sti.
