Performance or Bling?

I understand that if i have bling i'm going to get laid but that doesn't mean you are going to get racing queen you may end up with drag queen instead . If you go straight up with performance you will have beast of machine but odds you will be paying for insurance through the nose (i pay 2400 per year for liability and i have bare bone stock)

So get more specific i'm think about tossing or selling my current 240sx 95 manual (2800 or OBO lots of new parts). And buy 97 auto with side skirts, kenki body kit, killer system and rims.


any ideas what i should do?

If your worried about the girls that will give you *** because of your car, you might want to consult your local physician regularly....

yea, ur paying too much for liability.

as for the car... It's not always about the outside, what really matters is the inside. + with looking Bling Bling, ur car will have a higher chance of gettin jacked. just my opinion.

and unless you live over seas they wont ever know the motor had been bodded unless you tell them... i never tell my insurance people that i have done major mods to a motor to make it go faster... i tell im nothing but the vin number and that is it... get a different insurance company tho... you are getting jacked...

thanks. yeah i have one minor accident, a hit and run that i got royally ****ed for, and here's my favorite one doing 55 in 25 (i'm just glad i saw the cop and pulled the e-brake otherwise that ***** would have clocked me at like 82). Yes i know i'm crazy ****, but what can i say the only way to avoid speeding tickets is to buy a V1 i don't care what anyone else says the V1 is the best! And no the escort is not better b/c it operates on batteries. Best buy does not have good stuff.


But getting back the bling vs. performance: are you guys suggesting that i just do alot of perforance and just say f*** it to the bling and body, cause then i know no body will actually think about stealing my car.

Keep it a sleeper make it look stock and smoke yur competition, you could make good money placing bets that way..........
Some people are stupid and think fashionable bling bling might be a fast car, if it looks stock trim people might think you don't have nothin.........
Some people are such SUCKERS.........
Just do performance......

I can't belive you guys are actually debating this with this kid. What a stupid thread.

if i have bling i'm going to get laid
That's guaranteed

So get more specific i'm think about tossing or selling my current 240sx 95 manual (2800 or OBO lots of new parts). And buy 97 auto with side skirts, kenki body kit, killer system and rims.
Insurance is not gonna change much due to the transmission and the newer year will work against you.

What an F'in moron. Crazy ****? Hit and run, pulling your e-brake at 80mph+, your a retard. What should you do? Learn to write a sentence that makes sense. ***.

sounds like vinnie spends a lot of time at the docks in oakland...my poor ole beater civic with a lude swap sure took its share of the cash flow from there...

in building my car i do it in steps... mainly because i dont have the cash to do it all at one time... i spend money first in the performance area... i want it to do a few things...
a: stop... brake and suspention upgrade...
b: go... build the motor and trans...
c: hold me in the car... seats and belts...
then i worry about what it looks like... a project car is never finished... and that is some of the fun in building them...

but i do agree with some of the things said... when i was young i wanted the gurls... i wanted to get laid and i wanted to have a cool car... whith age i found a few things out... if you get the gurls because of your car... they wont last long... other people have better cars than you... so that gurl you got just walked cus your car aint the best... not to mention gurls like that tend to be more into what things look like not what they are... shallow and flighty... and do you really want a gurl who is gunna give it up to anyone who has a nice car??? what kind of mother would that be??? my dad tought me a good lesson when i was a kid... never sleep with a woman you cant marry... i guess with age comes some wisdom... but the best thing i can tell you is this... build your car for what you want it to be... not cus you will get gurls or cus you will get respect... build it because you want to and because you love automobiles... sell outs build cars for fame and glamor... i build cars cus i love it... and i want to see what i can do with it... not what it will get me in the end...

LOL All the other points you make are good but this made me laugh. You don't have to want to marry a girl to have some fun, but you can't makea ho a housewife.

Pimps can spit game to get a female, a nice car is a fake fecaud, learn to say things that women like, rather than what you can show out of pocket...........
F$%K the bling bling, I never break bread for a female..........
