What to buy
Ok everyone. My SVX has been in the paint booth for the better part of a year. Were slowly getting the body kit together and the H.O.K. paint and gold camilion chips have been sitting in the corner since day 1 just5 dying to coat my cars beatiful body. I got a Mazda Truck for winter but would like to have some fun in the snow also. So I'm in the market for a new toy. So Here's the choices.
1. A 2003 Subaru BaJa bone stock 1 owner and beautiful. ugly but fun. a great beach buggie also. $12,500.00 2. A 91 Mitsubishi Galant VR4 lime green and purple grafix Jdm engine swap twin turbo 4ws awd lots of extras to mention. 500+ Hp (he has the dyno slips) $10,000 3. A 2002 Subaru WRX blue sti jdm 6 speed jdm engine 450 hp needs body work but I'm probably gona wreck it anyway playing in the snow. $17,500 Let me know what you think. Look at my poor SVX |

Economically speaking, I'd go with the Baja
But for fun in the snow, I'd go with the WRX Despite the rarity of the VR-4, and the power, I don't think I could push myself to spend $10k on a 14 yr old Mitsu

I shoulda posted a poll sorry but I like you all to type. Polls to easy.
THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS The guy just called me on the VR4 and said he'd lower the price. HE's GOTTA PAY FOR SCHOOL He has reciets for over $20,000 and the 500+ Hp I dont know guys I'm Sweating. If I werent a Technician. I would be scared of it cuse It's gona break but I feel confident I can keep up with it. I like things Different I mean I got an SVX, dune buggie, VW Squareback, And a Fiat Pinin Farrinia Spyder 2000 that I made into a roadster The Gallant is almost dying to be put in the stable. But I always wanted a WRX sti. KEEP POSTING |
