With all of the problems I have been having with my cars, I finally made an important decision.
I am going to part out both of my stupid old unreliable cars and buy a newer Honda Civic.
I know this probably won't be the most popular choice around here, but I just can't deal with all this crap anymore. Is it really worth hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars just to have a little more power and worse fuel economy than a 4-banger commuter car? I don't think so.
I'm done. _________________ 84 Camaro Z28 - LS1/T56

No sale. You need to have pictures and a well laid out plan to pull off an April Fools joke around here.
Like that time I had a few Crewbies going thinking I bought a Mustang!  |

But that is actually plausable. Gabe is too much of a gearhead to give up performance cars cold turkey.  |

Well apparently it is too hard to fool you guys around here.
Big V8s in old cars are too near and dear. Could you see me driving a Honda Civic? No way.
Plus, I've had my Camaro for a quarter of my entire life. It's too much a part of me to give up now!  _________________ 84 Camaro Z28 - LS1/T56

You need to get more years under your belt.
I have had my Camaro for 41% of my life.

54% of my life. I'm going to bet that Richster is the only person here that can beat that number.

Math is easy, John.
23 . 100 / 43 = 53%~
I am obviously the odd man out here. Despite purchasing my first Camaro at nineteen I am at a lowly 23%.  |

I would blame the smart phone I used to post that, but no one would believe anyway.
So I'll blame the senility.  _________________ Killing mailboxes since 2009 |
