End of the Line for my 3rd Gen

I hate to say it, but it's time for the two of us to part ways. She's 16 years old and starting to self destruct everything that hasn't been replaced. In about 90 days she'll be gone for good. A few things to fix and the car is ready to go. She might go up for sale on the org (I'll keep you guys posted on that). Ah the memories in that car. The things we've done together. I hope somebody who cares ends up with her. I'll probably be getting a 4th gen (gasp). I will always give 3rd gens props anywhere I go. It's been fun guys. Peace.

Isn't she a One owner? How many 16yo cars can say that? Find a barn and park her. Then restore her for the 2029 Concours...

Bah, it's a VG. Just do yourself a favor and find a VE 5-speed. Until you can afford a 5th gen, you won't want anything else.

yeah, I guess if you can put the mods in that iansw has, then I will recommend that kind of 4th gen.

One word gentlemen:supercharger. The VG is too much of a PITA to SC as is the VE.I don't feel like getting a car that's already 11-13 years old, it'll just end up like this one, eating money as it gets older, and face it guys some of us have more than 160k (myself included) and from there it turns into nickel and dime maintenence even if you take regular care of the car, in which case random and expensive old parts will go out still. And I've told others gowirelessnj, there are absolutely NO VE 5spd's for sale at all around where I live. Closest thing right now is a 1993 SE A/T with 138k. Likewise, I've found a 96 SE 5spd with only 69,250 mi near me for $6500. And trust me, I would go to town on the mods, MEVI, CAI, exhaust, ECU (if it's a 95-96), short shifter, KYB AGX, Tein springs, FSTB, RSB.


And yes, this car is a one owner, I am not the owner on the title, the title is still with my dad's name.

A VG max may not be the fastest but it's still a fun car.


*update.....possible VE 5spd spotted* all depends on the mileage. Then maybe turbo VE Parents are helping me pay for this one so they have quite a bit of clout in what year I can choose from.
