So, in just about a month and a halfs time, im packing every thing up and moving for school. Im moving about 3 and a half hours away from my home. Gonna be right across the river from Detriot. So, since detroit has a pretty good crime rate, my parents were kind of paranoid about me bringing my car down there. They were affraid that if i keep it parked in the parking lot, its gonna get jacked. So, the sad news is, my celi, shez gonna b sittin under a car cover for almost a year

Valo, Detroit isn't so bad. Everyone hates on Detroit, it's picking up you know! hehe
![]() Exactly where are you going to school anyways? Here in Detroit, Wayne State Univ.? Or in Windsor, University of Windsor? If you're not going to be in Detroit, then there's no worry! ![]() I drive my celi downtown alot, haven't had any problems. *knock on wood* Grant I don't go to College there, but I've drivin my car downtown, left it parked in well known areas and my car has been fine. But ya know, Toronto definitely has better roads than Michigan. So there's actually nothing wrong with not taking your car here for school. Leave it in T.O!! At least your mileage won't rack up driving the 4 hrs here and back. Good luck with your new "beater"!! ![]() This post has been edited by CelicaQT: Jul 9, 2006 - 4:46 PM |

i know its not that bad, but my parents are just stupid. Im actually going to St. Clair college in windsor. Plus, with my car, i dont have tinted windows, i have a crappy alarm thats been on the frizt for like 2 or 3 months, and also red is a big target colour. Plus yea, the drivin 4 hours back and forth is gonna be great for the KM on my car. Oh well, if i get the rolla its gonna be drive down once, then just use it for drivin around the city.
i would get a 5th gen, but the thing is, my insurance is stupid on my 6th gen, and its still pretty high on a 5th. My old 87 non turbo automatic supra was like 150 less than my celica. The rolla is really cheap on insurance. This post has been edited by Valo666: Jul 9, 2006 - 5:20 PM |

^^^^ lol. rwd + winter = fun. My first car was a 87 supra, so im used to driving rwd in the winter. as for SR daily driven, not a big deal and not that expensive. My buddy tyler had a daily driven sr20 s13 for a year and a half and a daily driven turboed KA24DE daily driven for 6 months b4 he sold his car. He even has a 180sx with a CA18DET in it right now. Plus whats different between say someone drivin daily with an SR as opposed to some one driving daily a 3s swapped? Plus, my buddy who im buyin the car off with the 180SX owns and runs a shop that deals with alot of old school and highperformance Nissans, so any thing needed for my motor, get him 2 buy it and ship it at cost. To me, all it means is using a higher grade oil and changing the oil every 4000km. And considering this car is gonna be for going to and from work, gettin food and groceries and maybe going out with friends. Its not gonna be like driving my celi now. Also, do you really think i would be interested in a FWD SR swapped 77 rolla? the RWD is one of the main reasons i want this car. RWD is soooo much better and so much fun compaired to FWD.
