Yeah I know I'm ripping myself off, but I just can't see myself doing it to other people.

You know I'm interested in that MK1 Ji! Now who has a garage for me to put it in and work on?

I'll even let you drive ittttt.

Damnit Kelvin! Why can't it be on a Sunday.

I've always wanted to go to the SFV cruise.

datguydeni · 08-07-2009, 11:48 PM

i would go to the sfv but it so far away >.>
Davis you can always park it mixxers =P wasn't he planning to rent his neighbors garage haha

masagsxr · 08-08-2009, 01:16 AM

Good for you Davis... That case, buy more stuff for yourself and let me know when you are tired of it and I'll buy it off 75% off what you paid for. Thats usually how much you sell it anyways hehehehee...

All I'm saying is that I can't spend the way you do. I'm happy with the purchase and the way the car sits as it is. To me, the car does not look bad at all. I know if I waited any longer the car would sell in a heartbeat. The car is well maintained. I got all recent service records. Smog result is as if the car just came off production and results where super low. I would have never bought the car if I thought it was a bad deal. I can probably turn it around and make $2K on top of what I paid for it if I try to sell it right now

... Not that I am trying to rip people off, the car is easily worth that much more. Lucky for me I got a good deal. Its all business man. I need to make a living. Not because I live with moms does not mean I don't pay for anything. I pay 50% of the household expense. I need to eat too you know LoL... When you are around my age you'll understand what real responsibility is all about. You need to squeez every penny you have as much as you can and thats what I did getting a deal on the car

...

Deni: It wasn't me that was going to rent neighbor's garage. That was Davis by his apartment when someone moved out or something LoL..

masagsxr · 08-08-2009, 01:16 AM

but no...I couldnt do that to such a pretty nice car.. so instead I will sell it to someone who will enjoy it as it is. And buy someone elses fixer upper.. Mabye ill try a 2gr/1gr stroker when I get back...

Just pull the motor and sell it then put a V6 in

. That way you don't feel as bad about it. Or sell it and find one that needs a new motor anyways and make it your project.

I know...Mark Dorman not on top of things in the SoCal chat thread. Say it ain't so!

So little update. Ren and I pulled the axles off the white car yesterday and spent today working on her MKII. So the white car is in the garage and up on the jack stands. The 3VZ is almost done getting freshened up and should be ready to go in by the middle of next week (God willing).

I still think it looks sick! I can't wait to get a supra

honda_bar · 08-08-2009, 03:52 AM

mixxer, never hated on your wheels kid. When someone gets a new car, most of us car people usually say what we like and what we don't about the car. It's your car and not mine and I know this, so you can have anyway that makes you happy or makes sense. I love you brother and I'm glad your happy with your ride! I know you have been looking for a while and I look forward to seeing it

Davis · 08-08-2009, 09:51 AM

What the heck does fickle mean?

Mark_Dorman · 08-08-2009, 01:28 PM

fick·le (fkl)
adj.
Characterized by erratic changeableness or instability, especially with regard to affections or attachments; capricious.

xltinlx · 08-08-2009, 02:17 PM

fickle is pickle, you're a pickle davis!

Davis · 08-08-2009, 08:33 PM

Why I'm I a fickle now?

But I like pickles!

Mark_Dorman · 08-08-2009, 09:00 PM

You're a fickle person cause you change your mind about what you want every other day...

Tin can explain why you're a pickle

1stgen · 08-08-2009, 09:18 PM

OK so I am not letting anyone test drive my car anymore...even if they have money..they can look at it..I will drive it..Or I will send them a picture of it and they can just send me money. Had a girl grind through gears like she was learnign to drive stick almost charged her just for my time..Mabye I dont want to sell my 2...mabye I will just run it out of oil..Noone wants to buy a 5S engine anyways. I have 3 people "with money in hand" comign over tommorw to look at my 2 and I am going to have to let them test drive....sigh.

Davis · 08-09-2009, 11:43 AM

^ Ouch!

Hey Tin, whats your new job anyways?

and when can i come see TEH PUPPEYEZ!!!oneone1!1

School starts next week, I'm excited!

randomxzero · 08-10-2009, 12:08 AM

I want a 5S the 3sgte would be awsome but i like reliability

Davis · 08-10-2009, 02:20 AM

Alright guys, I can't sleep and I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight. Im totally disgusted right now. I was cleaning up my room earlier and I found some food from last week inside a tied up bag under my bed, no clue how it got pushed in down there, but the maggots managed to seep out into the carpet. I think my brother probably threw it down there without knowing it was a bag filled with unfinished food, but yeah, MAGGOTS.

GROSS!!!!!!

All I can say is Carb cleaner is the **** to killing these guys.

but yeah I learned my lesson, no more food in the room.

Mark_Dorman · 08-10-2009, 05:46 PM

It's time for Hot August Nights Again!!!

2nd Annual Hot August Nights Meet

Be there or be square

o6spdracer · 08-10-2009, 07:03 PM

honda_bar · 08-10-2009, 07:11 PM

Did you finally sleep davis?

Ji, you outta town that weekend?

Hooray for my next ride-a-long tomorrow.

You Tube

o6spdracer · 08-10-2009, 07:39 PM
