As I mentioned in my last post I'm selling my Talon because the engine swap didn't quite go as well as planned and I don't have the time to fix the few things I have left. I really need to get back on the road but I have a few options of getting there.
A) Today my dad bought himself a Honda Accord, which means I can get the Mercury SlowPaz back. I really hate the thought of driving that dreadful thing but my dad said there's no way he'd let me use his Honda and my mom needs her Camry so if I want a free car I'm stuck with the Mercury. The plus side of that is that it is free, the downside is that it's a heap of junk and really isn't too much of an improvement but at least it runs and drives most of the time.
B) Back in my home town there is a guy selling an Acura Integra. He wants $5000 for it but I'm trying to talk him into trading the Talon, all of my spare parts (except I'm keeping the turbo) and giving him maybe $500 on top of that. The problem there is that I have only seen on picture of the car and it was of the engine bay and I really haven't received much info on the condition of the car. It has a JDM swap, he didn't say what he swapped in but it looks like either a B18 or H22. He's put on a short ram intake, polished exhaust, full wiring and a few show pieces. The downside is that the kid is 16 years old so I'm willing to bet it's some junker rice rocket. The good news there is that I get rid of the Talon, I'll get something a bit nicer, but I'm willing to bet I'll still have the Topaz again too and I really don't have any need for two cars.
C) I can continue bumming rides, pissing people off, and inconveniencing people.
D) do C for a while, save money, and finance something, probably for a price far higher than the worth of the car at high interest rates and be forced to pay full insurance coverage which, being a male under the age of 25 with a few tickets, would be rather steep considering I'd most likely get either a sports car or a Jeep.
Suggestions?
