I say store a Car for obvious reason. Nothing to do with driveability in snow. its more about staying prestine. salt KILLS!!!! cars. Id rather not have have my car get salt infected on top of the fact have any of you ever tried working on a car that has been driven in salt year after year? every single bolt is rusted seized and breaks off just not worth in IMO. I like the fact that 15 years later my supras bolts all turn just as easy as my evos did. and the fact that my under carrage looks pretty damn clean for a car of the age

Yeah I totally agree with mike,its a pain when all the bolts r rusted and snap off. And I could appreceate a nice unrusted car and agree with storing it over the winter. And I didn't double post,mysidekick did for sum reason,lol
And that's the reason im asking,cuz I don't want another 2nd gen. Cuz of my last one. And im not a huge fan of the older supras or 1st gen eclipses

to me, if you have the money then its totally worth storing a car over the winter and having a beater. So i agree with mike on that point.

As far as a car, you definetly want to go with something thats stock turbo since thats the cheapest and easiest solution to have a fast fun car. But that really limits your options. And since you dont seem to like any older style cars your really limited...so, idk....get a bike

have fun fetching a gallon of milk from the store on your bike then. If gas prices are that much of an issue then DONT BUY A TURBO CAR OR A SPORTS CAR.


I HATE it when people complain about it. Go to the UK and europe and buy gas and then talk to me. hell go buy a mcdonalds big mac and tell me how much it costs

yeah man, when i went back home to switzerland, i realized how much everything is, shi** madd expensive. and for gas, i say, if u need it, u need it. there's no point in whining. idk what about a 240?? if i could pick i'd wanna s14,not the older s13. but theyre kinda overpriced
