Formula is gone as of this week :(
Laugh if you will...i traded the car for a 71k mile 94 nissan altima auto today. Swap is going down this week after work some time. I need to get to school come september, and work come now, so it was a painful but logical choice. The formy wouldnt pass emissions after 2 tries and a ton of parts thrown at it, needed a lot of body work, and i couldnt figure out the rear brakes. I think it may have needed brake lines... And with 191k on the body it was starting to show its age too. I still have the 924 for my sports car/weekend cravings, and my GF just got a nice LT1 camaro that i can drive around

idiot.
sike nah dude. you are a man who obviously has his priorities straight. i would sell my camaro in a heartbeat to pay for my tuition. if you are in school odds are that means you are young, there is plenty of time left for toys after you settle down.

lookin at your formulas problems it doesnt look like a bad trade. i can understand needing a beater for school and saving money to pay for it. My bro had a 94 altima and that car was sweet for a beater. looks like you got other play toys. sad to see an fbod go but hopefully it will be in good hands

Yeah the kid that got it seems to be a good guy, not just someone who will beat on it. He said he has another white firebird to get the door from(my door was busted up). I will definatley get another f body, but the one i really want this time around. And thats a t tops 5 speed z28/iroc, no more junkers for me. And yes very tough choice, id usually be the one on the other end of this trade. I feel like im letting go of my own principals but its not like im giving up on the cars, just this particular one. Ill always love 80s sports cars

Im 22, this will be my freshman year. Wasted a lot of time since HS  But its good because i had no idea what i wanted to study coming out of high school, so going to college probably would have been a waste of time/money

car was switched off tonight But the altima runs great, and will allow me to save some money for once. My insurance even went down a few bucks already. I do plan on saving and getting an ls1 car sometime, maybe in a year or so. I know the bug will hit me and i will end up buying another POS 3rd gen for 600 bucks though

Yeah using up almost 1/4 tank of gas to get to work and back sucked. And i dont want to DD the 924. So itll get the job done!

Thanks! It was all stuff that i could easily fix, but the parts and time/energy are what kills me. And i dont know how i was going to 'tighten' the steering column like the dmv said, what a load of crap that was
