What to do???

Post by **S13Chic** » Tue Oct 26, 2004 5:39 am

My ex b/f told me that he would trade me his '92 Honda CRX for my '71 Impala. I talked to my dad about it and he said that he would do it, but he wants my ex to drive it for a couple days just to make sure he likes it first. I guess because it's an old car and it needs a little more tlc than his CRX does. Anyways I was just wondering what y'all would do.

I'd take the crx. Can't beat its gas mileage...

CRX. Then...

FWD SR20DET swap

Yeah he gets great gas mileage. And you're right I'm gonna get that 240 running. The CRX would just be my temporary car.

Go for it.

Its a good backup car.

Impala's are great cars.... am I the only one that thinks so??

yeah, i second a restortation. thats uber pimp right there. my dads cousin still has his orig 65 impala SS...it needs a good amount of TLC, but it still has almost everything orig. including the 327. also, they have a buick electra 225 in their garage/barn. it needs love too, but damn, restroed its like a $30-35K car.

I love the Impala, but I have a 30 to 45 minute drive to work everyday. It's got a 350 2-barrel (sp?) in it. That's way too much gas money right there for me. If this whole thing with my ex doesn't go through then we are selling the Impala if anyone is interested. I'll take pics.

Im not really into the old cars so, crx all the way.

Take the CR-X, great gas mileage & reliable.

I will hate you forever if you get rid of the Impala! (not really, but yeah...)

I love Impala's, but I would say go with the CRX. Sell the Impala to someone that has the time and money to take care of it, and doesn't have to commute in it.

In the age of $2+ per gallon gas, I'd lean toward a nimble gas efficient and reliable CRX over a large, gas guzzling, ill handling 34 yr old bench seated 3 speed automatic land barge, just because it's in vogue at the moment.

I want pics of both vehicles in question. Is your ex a ricer? (Does he constantly race fellow ricers and have "mods" such as intake and neon lights? How's the body and engine condition of the Impala? I can't picture a '71 Impala so any help would be much appreciated. )

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Wed Oct 27, 2004 3:41 pm

CRX all the way. Fun little cars and great gas milage.

Post by **[Zero-S]** » Wed Oct 27, 2004 4:17 pm

Even if the crx was riced, its not too hard to de-rice it.

Its still a good car, I'd take it over my 3000GT any day. (More practical for this broke azz college student)

I can't find any pics of the Impala so I will have to take some when i get time. It may be a few days cuz I work alot. He has intake, 9.9 mm spark plug wires, exhaust.. just stuff like that.

Hey, if you happen to look like your avatar (Quistis) I'd have to ask you to marry me

Post by **HongKongChick** » Wed Oct 27, 2004 7:29 pm

hell as long as it's in good condition, i'll take the CRX, i have always wanted one, but never could find one stock or in good condition.

Post by **jdmfreak** » Wed Oct 27, 2004 7:37 pm

CRX all the way. If there wasnt a worry for gas $$$, Id probably have to go with the Impala.

Post by **Dattebayo** » Wed Oct 27, 2004 7:40 pm

Im thinking that with an Impala, you could check out the collectors market, sell it, and get more money for it than a CRX is worth.

Then go get a CRX or whatever you want. Its just more hassle this way.

The CRX is in great condition. It's only had 2 owners; he is the 3rd.

Yeah I'm thinking that I'm gonna take the CRX (as long as he will trade me). He's STILL thinking about it.

i would take the crx. Cant beat the gas mileage with gas prices like they are.

Post by **S13Chic** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 5:11 am

with gas being $1.95 here.... it would take like $60 to fill up the Impala. And that gas would only last like 4 days.

Post by **Mr1der** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 5:27 pm

if you trade the Impala for the CRX, I think I'll have to disown you...

Post by **S13Chic** » Sun Oct 31, 2004 10:05 am

Quick update..... We aren't trading anymore.

Post by **Mr1der** » Sun Oct 31, 2004 10:07 am

old beat up cars kick ***...especially when they still look cool.
