26127, Parted ways with my trusty 2GNT Posted by BumpinTalon, Jul-20-07 07:18 PM
After 3.5 years I just couldn't take it anymore, so my 2gnt is up for sale and parked in the same spot I left it 14 days ago, when I picked up this beauty.

Needed something practical that I could bring out to the job sites for work. The 2gnt was fun and I still love how these cars look. I'll buy another one someday, but its going to be a 2nd gen AWD TSi.

Kudos on the 6 speed too. :thumbsup

If anything, I will do just the opposite and toss some 33s on there :D I finally did lower the Talon tho, and ironically that is what made me run out of patience with it so fast... ground controls = way too stiff

My friend, in this game only the strong survive. There is no room for weakness and impatience. DSM's require extreme perservence and dedication. Once mastered always appreciated. It's getting it there that some people can't handle.

Don't lecture me on living with a DSM I could handle the car fine, but in the grand scheme of things it wouldn't work for me anymore. It was a huge combination of things, it had to be, because by God I did love that car. Still kind of do, but not nearly as much.

I've been entertaining the idea of selling mine and picking up a 1970 240z. Pretty good chance it's gonna happen. Or I may need the money to get this building I've been trying to buy from the county. Either way, I cannot imagine buying a foreign truck. lol

If I was to get a full size, it would have been a new Silverado all the way. But I couldn't justify a truck that big that gets that poor of mileage, so I was shopping in the midsize class (Tacoma, Frontier, Colorado, Canyon, Dakota) and all the domestic trucks were garbage, poor handling, poor mileage, weak engines, the Frontier was ugly and the Tacoma had the best balance of looks, power and they have ULTIMATE long term reliability and AWESOME resale. So it was no contest.
I've been wanting a V-8 RX-7 for awhile now. I might build one of those over the winter. I need RWD and more displacement, so bad. A 6 speed in a car would be nice too - another reason I sold the Talon. slushboxes suck.
I sold the Talon last night for $3k. I didn't even watch it drive away.. but I still have all these great pics to remember it by ahaha

Well, not yet =) I'm 24. Won't be married till september 22nd, and we have already discussed that we are going to wait about 3 more years before we start trying to have kids.
