I can never seem to decide which way I want to go in my automotive travels. I enjoy my 2002 and it's a great car, quick, handles well, etc. I don't really want to run it at track events as a daily driver. I've been considering a 3rd gen for a long time now and I have some options.

I have a car lined up in VA that I can go pick up. It's an '83 chassis (not the best year), an automatic, a hard top and has no engine in it. However, the price is "right".

I have a local friend who's car I could buy. It's not CMC legal and it's not enough motor for AIX (though I might run ok in AI). Considerably more money, but a nicer car.

I've been looking at the specials on trucks lately (Dodge is way overstocked on inventory and they may be giving them away soon, they have good incentives now) and thinking of "de-modding" my car and trading it in. I'll keep what I can use and sell off the rest of my parts towards the new car (being a 3rd gen, only the rear suspension stuff will swap). The real concern is, can I get rid of enough of the parts from the current car? And, will I be sorry for getting rid of the 2002?

I would stick with the 02 Kevin, it isn't "race ready" but it not far from it, and is the best car to have for the new CMC-S or AI classes (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Get an old suburban for a tow vehicle, get the wife the A6 and you drive the VW (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) DONE! I know sell the arsenal you have under the house (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif)

Oh yeah, then hold a BBQ (let's strip my car/ build a race car) weekend at your house (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banana.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/1poke.gif)
