Well, im done with the grand prix. Long story, but it is now a garage queen. Im tired of the upkeep/money/everything. Im just royally pissed off with it.
Looking to spend around 4k, decent on gas, a stick is a plus, and it needs to be reliable.
Who has some ideas for me?
edit: dont ask me if im demodding or anything. The answer is no. If i sell any parts i will make a separate thread. Please dont PM me asking for dibs on any of my parts either. Im sick of getting PM's asking, im not selling anything at this point

Golf turbo diesel, last forever, diesel is very efficient, come available in stick and auto, FAST and the 00-04 golfs look good imo.

GO diesel and go with the used cooking oil! If you bring a civic to mod day, You'll be the new BEN!

Originally posted by 20gtp02: GO diesel and go with the used cooking oil! If you bring a civic to mod day, You'll be the new BEN! no way dude. im not gonna be coming this year. I think i might be dumping the grand prix entirely. Its getting to the point that im losing interest in the whole thing.Im hoping that this is just a phase right now. I just need something else for now and decide what to do with the grand prix later. Im really looking into 97ish miata's. I drove one the other day and fell in love with how it drove, and i really want a stick. But i dont know if i need to buy a matching purse to go along with it.

get a eagle talon TSI, as long as you dont dump the clutch a lot youll have a quick car. you also could find an older camaro, or a LT1 camaro with a bit higher mileage.

u all complain about 3.50 a gallon, us Canadians are paying $4.20/gallon right now if you calculate it, and thats only 87 octane, add another 0.15 for 91. Now, our dollar used to be about 78 cents until a recent (5 months?) spike that made it about equal.
AT EQUAL DOLLAR
1 gallon = 3.78 litres 1 gallon = $3.50 1 litre = $1.11 1.11 x 3.78 = $4.20
AT 0.78 CAD to 1 USD
$4.20 x 1.22 = $5.12/gallon
......
EDIT: and Alberta, Canada is where you get alot of your oil and you still pay less than we do.
