It is awesome and have been ripping into Slayer / Metallica tunes since.It is funny that for not even 1k I could get soooooo much fun out of it. 1k these days doesn't even cover a set of bushes in the rear of my car!Bang for buck;guitar 1XR6T 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidg2152 Donating Members 98 Member For: 18y 10d Posted 07/07/11 02:35 AM Author Share Posted 07/07/11 02:35 AM Don't get me wrong, I love my XR6, in fact a part from looking a bit like a taxi and having 0 resale, I have to say it is the most fun car I have ever had.I guess sometimes you just get fixated with the next mod, etc, etc and it never ends. Was just a different perspective to get so much for a relative little outlay.Just don't tell my mrs I admitted that..... I still have many turbo taxi plans ahead.

I guess that I am lucky in that I am walking distance to the train that can get me to work in around the same time that it takes me to drive. The annual savings though are significant:Rego - $550Insurance - $1100Maintenance - $500Depreciation - $2000A saving of roughly $4000 per year by sharing a car!

davidg2152 Donating Members 98 Member For: 18y 10d Posted 07/07/11 06:49 AM Author Share Posted 07/07/11 06:49 AM (edited) Well I've cut down from 3 to 2. The XR uses a bit of juice but to be honest it is worth the fun driving it to work. It's funny, I have always been useless with cars, had 24 in the past. I am keeping this taxi though, own it, haven't had a loan for 5 yrs. When it pops I'll do the motor, more power, kind of like a new car again. If I traded and upgraded I'd be spending 20+k just to be back at square 1.That's how I am pitching the next atomic motor to my Mrs anyway! Edited 08/07/11 11:05 AM by RHR No need to quote above post.
