if you sell it to her make sure your next car is faster than hers

well it sure makes it a lot easier to afford to do something like that. Those of us who have bills other than cell phone and car insurance can't exactly do that.

EDIT: the reason i finally got the feeling you did was that you're spending thousands of dollars building an 2.4L VVL motor, you have thousands of dollars into your current (kick ass) blue NX and you're able to afford to GIVE AWAY a car, then I read a post earlier where you said you haven't had a job in about a year.. so I figured you were either a pimp, a drug dealer, or living with your mom.

well i understand that to certain extent, but 3 grand isnt very much money.

im back in college and so is my girl. so for these next few years it will pay off dived ends off in the future. i tried for almost 10 years with skilled labor but that wasnt cutting it.

I live with my parents and I go to school, but I certainly couldn't afford to give away my car. Right now my only income is from selling stuff on ebay. If I combine ebay with this new job at Firestone, I might be making about $350 a week. That's nothing special and about average for a college student. Right now the only bills I have are car insurance and phone lol. So I could afford to build a car over time, but not necessarily just give one away. Maybe when Stratton shares some of his lottery winnings with me I could give my car to my gf and buy a Lambo. Lol

sights on building a vvl in a g20 isnt a necesity at the moment. he has a boosted car and a daily. thats a lot more than most of us have.

usually you can find b13 1.6s cheap. since he's not loosing a car, and just buying another one, he would still have both cars, add another one for the girl, and fix it up. nothing is coming out of his pocket for it as the moms is helping. so why not? im just curious. its a win win situation.

this is my thing as im looking at it towards a financial point. upgrade vs living how you are now. could you afford to do it? money is tight being a college student. as much as we all would love to be able to upgrade and this and that all the time, sometimes you have to just sit on the bench and coast. the best thing financially would be to have her buy her own, and you can wrench on it for her. im not trying to knock the idea, but its more of a can you realistically do it, or not type of ordeal.

I think realistically yes, I could put a VVL G20 together over a couple months because I wouldn't have the money to buy all the parts right off the bat anyways. Anything I make from Firestone will be profit, because ebay is simply paying the bills now. And this G20 would just be a daily so I can start dumping more money into my turbo car.

Or I could just skip the G20 and go for 400hp in my turbo car. Hmm...
