i officially have a beater as of today.. i just dont have Winter cuz im in miami LOLOL... (just bought a Ford Edge for my fiancee).. and we didnt trade in her mirage hehe) now i can proceed with my swap

 

Economy car = Lancer, Civic, 240,Celica, Scion, SRT4, Golf,Cobalt... Damm last time i checked.. these are all economy cars. and also the last time i checked.. all of them can be "projects" and @ car shows and tracks .. i dont see whats funny.. even the kid with the evo below you said he woulda did the same thing.. he's just insuring his hobby and theres nothin wrong with that.

 

Its cool if you think im silly. Its just a lancer but its mine. its paid and i f*ck'n love it.

 

Lol i hate u every time tooo, i still got 3 yrs left on mine.

 

yup espically with a nice lancer like his who had one of the best recoveries =D

Also its my favorite lancer so far that i seen on the forums so i would do the same

 

But what you may fail to realize is, at that point it is no longer an "economy car" it is an investment...

I feel your "economy car" is something that if it gets wrecked or whatever it is no big deal. Now ask anybody who has invested over 1.5K extra on their car if its a big deal if their lip get ripped off that they just spent $700 on.

Also I doubt a car with an aftermarket turbo is considered an "economy car" any more.

 

Lol nice...

 

It's not an investment, he's not going to make money off of his car, he simply doesn't want to drive his lancer in winter. Done. Personally I would drive my car in winter regardless of whether I had a lip (indeed I might get one) but that's just me.
