wat type of a/s? if DWS06, they are actually very good. :D i run dem on my GTI and STI. STI's summer tires are dunlops though..

Because I have a family friend who fixes them up and sells them for dirt cheap. 8k for a 4 year old car with 30,000 miles sounds better to me than a 6+ year old car with 100k miles for the same price.

The cars being loaded is just a bonus. I just want a beater for winter and crappy summer days. If I can get a beater that'll last me 5+ years, even better.

Yup, and it's just not worth it for me. I don't want to be locked in to another car that i may wind up hating. I can hopefully buy a used Focus or whatever and drive it into the ground. I'm not going to worry about dings, hail, etc.

sounds like a plan. it does save A LOT more money to buy a car and drive it for like 10yrs+

between 9-10 years, but in reality it will probably be here to stay. Even if it means I have a couple weekend/hobby cars.

kenchan 09-20-2016 06:24 PM

kenchan 09-20-2016 06:28 PM

If they come out with a design/performance I like for a new Z, I will probably pick one up after they have been out for 3-5 years.

That car needs a little bit more power and it would be great. I like the looks of them too.
