As I mentioned to you a while back, I was looking at getting a "proper" 4-door aswell, and asked you about how the Evo VIII compared to the 34. And yes, While the BNR34 would be awesome I couldn't convince my wife to let me sell the ER34 just to buy another 34 (women eh?) :)<br /><br />I was thinking of going for something sedate (something european, something four doors), but most of the sedate cars I like within my price bracket are a little on the boring side.<br /><br />Oh well, when you figured out what you're going to do, let me know too, cuz i'm totally confused as well.<br /><br />Btw, if you're on facebook eujin add me :) howie.ly (att) gmail (dot) com ...

I can't afford that image dude. People will think that I have cash overflowing out from my nose. Besides, with beemer it's gonna be Hamann, AC Schnitzer, Alpina, etc.... :D<br /><br />I think we are about the same age bro and yeah time is really creeping up on us.Eu Jinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967824769156019854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32334954.post-41798423434685761702009-10-19T11:34:35.143+08:002009-10-19T11:34:35.143+08:00Hey Eujin, just my share of thoughts, you dont nec...Hey Eujin, just my share of thoughts, you dont neccesarilly have to heed mine:<br /><br />1)Sell the car, before the price plummets. You should really concentrate on the baby now. besides, the daughter is biological, a car is an inanimate object. (I wanna get rid of mine, but its a bitch coz not many could afford cash. So don't end up in my shoe, LOL)<br /><br />2)I know how it has been fucking up your mind. Same here! With everynight being a little bit over ambitious with mods. A mind zapper, pocket sucker, etc. Sell it, peace of mind, good sleep, problem solved.<br /><br />3)Time to move on to a family car brother! How bout a beemer for a change? They are marvelous!<br /><br />Again, just my opinion! I would definitely do it, coz seriously, i FEEL SO GOD DAMN OLD already!!!!rychnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32334954.post-43526746628177479952009-10-18T16:26:52.239+08:002009-10-18T16:26:52.239+08:00when ur car is fully paid for, keep ur car for a c...when ur car is fully paid for, keep ur car for a couple more years. then review on ur thoughts of sellin it. it would suck to regret selling it off in a hurry.Zulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01436398181975610099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32334954.post-28661724666478750472009-10-18T14:10:16.362+08:002009-10-18T14:10:16.362+08:00darius, keep on dreaming bro and it'll come tr...darius, keep on dreaming bro and it'll come true. :)<br /><br />Victor, doubt I'll go conti at the moment.

Thanks for sharing mate. Btw, would be keen to view your ER34. I bet it's gonna be a monster with the amount invested in it. Good on ya.<br /><br />Anonymous, spot on there. It's gonna be a long relationship man. I guess you're right, just like I still misses my PV6 now and then. An uncle in a R35 with a young lady? Maybe his daughter? Hehehe<br /><br />reff, hahaha. Never though of wanting to be Brian O'Conner. LOL<br />Two roadtax is fine I guess coz IF there is a second car, it's gonna have a small capacity engine. Insurance then is another story alltogether. I like your idea of roll cage-ing the ER34. In fact it's in my wish list too. Hahaha<br /><br />alvinT, for sure bro.

Part of my decision on a ER34 was your blog, when considering other performance ride like the S15, 350z, etc ...<br /><br />Yes, it comes a time when life changing decision come around again. I know the feeling when the first a person got the ER34, he tells himself, this car is a keeper for life.<br /><br />Look at it this way. Your at the end of your payment terms, finish it off and own the car. It might help with your financial as well with the monthly commitment gone. Well, it will be spend in another way. Believe me that your mod will gradually reduce once the baby comes into play. You'll know when you see those sweet eyes look back at you. No turbo kits can replace what your baby needs. By then, you be in better position or better state of mind to consider keeping the ER34 or parting with it. So don't jump the gun with initial thought.. unless your in a financial bind now. Your lucky you got a ER34 to sell. Imagine someone selling their 1.8 GSR Wira for scrap metal price. <br /><br />Adios !CheWeinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32334954.post-90721687183039064712009-10-14T19:22:09.958+08:002009-10-14T19:22:09.958+08:00sell it for a bnr34

Why do you want to be Brian O'Conner whereas you can be Eu Jin? Knowing that GTR would be a struggle for repayments? (i'm assuming) My dream car would be a Toyota Supra (shit, Brian O'Conner too) but I don't think I can reach it anytime soon unless I found a briefcase with cash in it, that is a different story. You can reduce ER's wear and tear but you'll be having 2 insurances and roadtaxes tho. Bear in mind that, if the ER is 10 or more years old, (2001 production if i'm not mistaken and its not in production anymore), I don't think its easy to apply for a car loan for it. If i were you, keep, strip naked, roll cage and Myvi auto a/c full blast every second, dynamat everywhere, and a good sound system.reffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32334954.post-6365874749676572602009-10-14T08:34:42.405+08:002009-10-14T08:34:42.405+08:00the feeling must be terribly complicated and it...the feeling must be terribly complicated and it's like ending a long, loving, warm, thrill and etc relationship to keep moving on. wow!<br /><br />the er34 has been part of u, like flesh and bone, cannot be separated. keep the car. u'll be in a deep sorrow, ur mind will travel back to time keep reminding u the good ol' er34, whenever u see a er34/bnr34 with the owner grinning wide pass by!<br /><br />being old not by look or by attitude. it is in the heart. hehe.<br /><br />p/s: i once saw an old uncle drive a r35 with a pretty young lady~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32334954.post-61200944426156786692009-10-14T06:02:34.465+08:002009-10-14T06:02:34.465+08:00Eu Jin,
Hi from Australia :)
I have always asked...Eu Jin,<br /><br />Hi from Australia :)<br /><br />I have always asked myself that same set of questions with regards to my ER34... and I can tell you, there is no easy answer!<br /><br />I've owned mine for 5 years and over this time I've only added 50,000km to the car. Yes, a very small number. The cost to insure and register the vehicle hardly makes it worthwhile.<br /><br />During this 5 years, I've also turned this car from a standard ER34 into something that surpasses the BNR34! How many dollars did I spend? Enough to buy 2 or 3 BNR34s :P<br /><br />The simple answer is this (for me anyway). If I sell, I part with something that I have personally invested 5 years into - it'll probably end up being crashed by the next owner (adding to the heartache).<br /><br />I've decided to keep mine, and just have dailies which I won't be tempted to modify. This has worked well so far.Stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04526271021724407793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32334954.post-18247676968333935352009-10-14T00:00:32.333+08:002009-10-14T00:00:32.333+08:00keep the er34. maybe your kid will enjoy the only ...keep the er34. maybe your kid will enjoy the only classic in the house. i think you could always buy a backup car, like a small lil proton or something. no point selling a car when you spent time and money on it!kevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09707879120675717432noreply@blogger.com
