I'm in the rust belt and drive an '02 Sentra during the winter.

Infamous QR25DE motor that likes to eay butterfly screws and have the pre-cat break up and get inhaled into the motor. The long block was replaced at 60,558 for a thrown rod.

I give Nissan credit though. I was out of warantee and they flipped the whole bill.

Thanks we have some of the same issues. I had thought about selling the Prelude to add something else but it has been a great car. We need to add a truck of some type. Its for those what if's around the house etc. I have been looking but the weather here in KC/KS has been so mild this year I have held back. I will need to do something soon. Maybe a clean looking beater type truck. If their is such a thing?

Yes. Have a couple of people at work buy just such a thing. I work in Olathe. One of them has a F150 with 120,000 which looks like it has 20,000 miles and runs like it also.

yah, i could really use a wagon or something sometimes. i go to my local music store to buy something for my instrument, i cant even carry it home in my G. or to homedepot... no go. can't even buy window blinds without measuring if i have enough space. gets old real quick. :ugh2:

so recently i just wait till the weekend and use my Fit. my wife uses the Fit during the week and she hardly uses on the weekends so it works out for us. :p

I thinned my herd when buying the Z. Sold my GMC Typhoon and Porsche 944 so I could focus my garage time on bike builds.

Just an Fyi, I'm the chick in my relationship. Lol! Crf450
is a huge bike for a girl.

o. whoops. lol. your my type of gal. gsxr and 370z. great combo.

:icon18:

YUP. big 8 seat SUV for the family. plus a motorcycle, DUC 748S.

Yeah, but one thing to keep in mind is the underside of anything driving during the winter around here. This area is so bad about what they treat our roads with during the winter. A clean looking 120,000 mile plus year/ model used driver that has not had a treatment of undercoating etc. can easily be a clean looking rust bucket. I have been online of and on looking in areas of Texas & Oklahoma for a clean driver. :tiphat:

My 2nd car = Nissan Frontier

2nd and 3rd cars. 09 Cube and 11 Fusion.

About to buy a Z (waiting for it to arrive at the dealer). Keeping my '04 Mazda 3 hatch, because I feel like I'll regret making my only car a 2 seat convertible. I'll use the 3 when I need the space, or when I go to more questionable parts of town.

Second car is wifes, another Z of course
