I only had to fix about 3-4 small things plus the AC. Only cost me $150 in parts total.

yes but the maintainance was still done, just not by you. Shawn has had the Vigor longer, so why can't you just agree that older cars usually take more to maintain?

wtf are you talking about? when did i argue that older cars don't require more maintenance?
stop trying to argue with me for something I did not say.
all i said was it didn't cost me $3000 and if I had to do it, it wouldn't have cost me $3000 either. Parts would have been $500 or less and labor wise I could do 90% of the work.

that is what I was saying, that and it didn't cost me much for up keep, just a few repairs.
and you quoted me out of context.

Yes I totally have a love hate relationship with my GSR. I love it and hate it depending on the day or even hour.
Last month I was [preparing to buy my dad's CL Type-S next year but now I feel like I want to keep my GSR. I am so confused.
Last Sunday I had a blowout on my front left tire. I had a nightmare of a time getting a tire to replace it. I wanted to get rid of the GSR right then and there. I finally ordered tires online and got them mounted and balanced on Friday and put them on Friday night.
Thursday night when I was taking off the two front rims to take them to get new tires, I wanted to get rid of the car. The dealership torqued the lug nuts too much when they aligned the front. I was pissed.
Now that I have been driving my GSR for a few days with the ES100's on the front, I absolutely love it, want to keep it and even do a few mods to it.
I am teh confused
