It's always an interesting topic to see what people would have done differently.

Sometime I wonder that the thing I do today, will I think back in 10,20,30 years and think I could have done it differently ,better even.

the cars i bought that i didnt keep were my dd's..

other than the one civic i leased, i paid cash for all 17 of them.

nismo- my bro had a silvia way back when those were new.

after 5yrs ownership, he was ready to trade it in for another more practical car and the dealer would not take it...

so he sold it to his friend for $100.

that's j-land for you.

I wish I could buy a Sylvia for 100

always liked that car and it has great potential.... However they are overpriced in the used market in US

yah, it was definitely a cool ride. one of my uncles is a silvia fan and has bought all the gens since 1975 (?) when they were first introduced. up until about 7yrs ago when he first got a non-silvia car, the skyline 370GT which is the G37C.

(no need to up one!!

)

wat i shouldve done was spent a little more and got a S4 avant and kept it for 10yrs along with my G35C. that would've been a huge cost savings.

Wow you change them often. I am buying my 3rd this summer. That's 4 cars total in 6 years.

but I'll have 3 at once.

sounds good, mr. zman. i hope you get wat you really want and just keep it for a long time.

ive owned 4 cars at a time so i kept rotating the older dd and kept my hobby car maybe 3-4yrs. it was fun and all, but wouldve been much better had i bought a car that was a tad over my budget, yet kept it longer.

i think having 2 cars for yourself is nice and economical if one of them is a hobby car. 3 cars is better... but 4 cars
and above could become a pita to maintain.

Well the z ill keep for longer. My scion is a lease so it's going away dec 2013. I'm buying a cheaper used dd this summer and plan to keep that 3-4 years so its not necessarily one of the cars I want. I'll probably buy a nice dd in 2014 and keep that until it dies lol
