    Default Selling the GSX (Round 5439032)

    So I think I'm gonna sell the GSX. When I sell it, I will buy a cheap DD (something around $1500-$2000) and get my camaro up and running. I bought the camaro to be able to make a little money, so I'll sell that and have some more money. The goal of this plan is to have a decent daily driver and be able to FINALLY get my datsun some body work done. It needs floor pans, patch panels, interior, transmission, and some other little stuff.

    I've had the datsun since I was 15 (so a whole 3 years, lol), but it belonged to my grandfather and grandmother since the early 80's. My grandmother got alzheimers (spelling?) and about that time the datsun got put in the backyard. I finally talked my grandfather into letting me have it (after working for his construction people for a bit) and brought it home. I worked on it for a few months and decided she wouldn't be ready for school in time. For some reason, maybe because I was 15, I bought a 84 E30 and started working on it. Well, after headgasket, clutch, brakes, clutch system, etc, I was able to drive it. So the datsun went back to my grandfather's house.

    Anyways, I'm now finally in the position to get this car back up and still have a car to drive. Might as well right? I LOVE that datsun to death and would never be able to sell it. So the logical thing is to get her back where she deserves to be...?


    (cliff notes: sell GSX, buy cheap DD, fix up my grandfather's old datsun that is now mine with left over money.)

    Looking at asking $5300, it's modded tastefully and RIGHT and it's very nice. I'd like to be able to keep the camaro, GSX, and datsun, but I can't improve the datsun without selling these to have the money.

    That's what I'm thinking. I'd LOVE to be able to ride around in this car. Nothing against the GSX at all, but I have almost the same luxuries in each car, except where the GSX will haul ass (so they say, lol) the datsun is slower but will handle in curves like a dream (again, so they say).

    That Datsun is pure sex!!!! But, I'd sell the camaro(There's plenty of them around, you could always get another one) and use that money towards the Datsun.. Keep the GSX as a DD, cause man, that thing is the nicest GSX I have ever seen. Or you could buy my '88 Prelude as a DD(Of course you'd have to buy a FI wiring harness) sell the Camaro and GSX, Then start working on the Datsun, then you help me out.........lol

    POTENTIAL!!11!!!!1111! Seriously, build that Datsun, you would be crazy if you didn't.

    Life begins at 6000 RPMS.. You will notice an audible change in engine noise, large increase in acceleration and any female passengers will immidiately start to remove their clothing.

    Sell the camaro, keep the gsx, and work on the Datsun. I mean, its a cool car, but that poor GSX. It doesnt want to keep getting bounced around, it wants a forever home.

    I wish I had the ****ing money. It would be sitting in my garage under a cover like I planned. I never should have gotten rid of it the first time, let alone the second time.

    Keep the GSX, sell camaro, buy CHEAP dd. And LOOK FOR A BETTER JOB THAN WENDYS. It cannot be hard to find a job for more than minimum wage. Go to ****s Sporting Goods in Macon, we are always hiring and hire at more than minimum wage. If its attached to a mall (I think it is?), you can start around $8.25 or more.
