6083, What is your backup car?
Posted by CarbonFiberRST, Mar-23-06 03:16 PM
For those with a 2nd car for when your 2gnt (or other car of choice) is down for repairs.

Mine is a 93 se-r which I hope to turbo after college.

EDIT: oh yea, post PICS!

My daily is the Subaru in my sig. 2000 Outback. It's a wagon, but I like that better, more room for when I ski and stuff. Limited, so it's loaded. Plus you can't beat AWD for the nasty winters here in Ithaca, NY.

98 Civic, my 2gnt feels like an ultra luxurious rocket ship after a few days in the honduh, but it's come in so handy.

Ditto.

Even though I will have 2 vehicles soon, only one will be operational (and on insurance), but luckily I know some nice people who would either be nice enough to bring me where I need to go, or lend me a spare vehicle if need be.

I DD the VR4. Not the best idea but o well. I don't live far from work so it's an easy horrible drive, for now. If my car broke down I used to drive our extra car, 89 Plymouth Acclaim, but that broke so I just take a Land Rover loaner car when I need one. It's nice being in charge of our loaner cars :-)

1999 Mustang GT is my DD because the 2gnt hasn't moved on it's own power in well over a year.

I know my car is running rich, but do you get HORRIBLE gas mileage also? I'll put in $20, and get about 85 miles on it lol.

Good choice. I always always like the classic SE-R's. Don't even have to do the DET swap either. Cause the DET parts (manifold....) They are hard to find though and some people want waaaaaaaaaaaaay to much for them.

Between this and the DSM, hopefully one is running when the other goes down, though I won't hold my breath.

I daily drive a '92 Acura Vigor. My newest car is a '93. Go figure.

You'll get there before you know it, Andy. :thumbsup

You'd think that, with all the pictures I take of my car and all that shit, I would have something better, but this them both. Daisy is the daily until the Galant is resurrected (ironically, scheduled for the 1 year anniversary of Daisy starting after the seven month piston delay incident), and then she trades places with the Galant until some time in June or July.

I've been a bit busy of late.

My Winter Beater/Dail Driver, 92 Civic Vx with a D16Z6 Vtec with a ricer intake and exhaust


2nd in line is my sisters 91 Civic Si


Last but not least, my Talon as its sat since the first snow fall in October of last year.




and I hate to say it but either civic was faster than the 2gnt before the turbo.
