LS swap

Where would you put it, in the back seat?

[MrH]

I would actually get a type R instead. I like a GTI better than your G. Don't be stupid and try and justify it be claiming you're going to save all this money on gas though. That's a drop in the bucket. Just realize you're buying this because you want it.

[12,000 RPM]

I mean gas is part of it. Realistically it is a drop in the bucket. But psychologically it is part of the ownership experience. I'm debating if now is a good time or if I should wait after the baby comes. Either way I will go test drive a GTI soon.

[giant_mtb]

I feel like you make enough money to not worry about gas.  Shit, I probably make like 1/5th of what you do and I don't give a shit about gas.  Release yourself!

[12,000 RPM]

The gas isn't that big of a deal. It's really just the size and weight. I realized I don't really care about luxury either. Thank God I didn't buy the Genesis. If the Civic wasn't slow as dog shit with weak A/C and deafening road noise I'd keep it. I think the GTI strikes the right balance

[giant_mtb]

GTI is a good balance of semi-luxury (NVH) and fun.

[CaminoRacer]

Test drive a new Si or Type R too.

Me, MrH, Ragz, we take an iterative approach to car ownership

It's a phase.

The GTI isn't going to scratch your itch

[12,000 RPM]

How do you figure... and what would you recommend

Something really raucous; to get it out of your system.  Track car.

Don't lump me in your group. I made it at least a year with every car.

Since moving to a rural area I have come to really like my G. It's unrefined know, but it's quick, likes the open roads and is well put together. It's much happier here than it was lurching from suburban red light to suburban red light. I was all in for trading for an Outback or an AWD Edge, but I've decided to hang on, at least for now.

Nah, just poor decision making

[12,000 RPM]

I forgot how hard you were hating in this thread. Are you like not allowed to buy anymore cars or something?

[r0tor]

It's like I can see the future or something

[r0tor]

T-minus-12 months to the "I'm selling the G because it has a leaking shock, gets shitty gas mileage, and I can't use it's performance" thread

Just saying

[12,000 RPM]

You got 1 out of 3, but that was enough

[AutobahnSHO]

Just saying

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Just saying

OUCH........

[12,000 RPM]

No offense taken. r0tor is just angry that he basically cannot drive the RX-8, but he is not allowed to sell it and get another car I am free and willing to continue to make bad automotive decisions for the entertainment of the SPIN and myself. Someone has to have fun here and r0tor has made it clear he is not allowed to

[r0tor]

I think I drove the 8 yesterday... Seemed fine

[MexicoCityM3]

GTI is too mature and will bore you in less than 12 months (again). Like I said before, Type R.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

FELLAS!!! He wants a 1994 Accord Sedan that he can mod the fuck out of!    I guess it's better than a Riced out Miata......

We will see what the facelift brings. I cannot be seen in that thing.
