I am 100% for sure selling the STi.

I really really want a manual car, and something fun(i.e. v8/t56).

I will be applying for a career job here in the next month or so

I have no idea what would be the best/smartest thing to do with my money... so far my ideas are as follows



A) Man the **** up, drive the auto for a year or so, spend about 2k in mods to get it to where i'd be semi happy with it, get my real job, throw the sti's money in some form of investment and then see where i'm at in 6months-1year

B) Sell the Camaro/STi then buy a lower mileaged Camaro/TA in manual, then do the above mentioned with the left over money

C) Drop all the money into a car, and have zero car payment with a low mileaged car that should last awhile
A or B.

Sell both and buy a bucket and drive it till it dies. I understand people like nice cars, but buying a car is the worst thing your money can go to. If you must buy a new car and are planning to finance, remember that you must have some established time at your current work.

the car wouldn't be what I am worrying about financing. It would be a house(i plan on buying a house within an year or so, might have to wait a year and a half so I can establish time at my new employment). Not to mention, I probably couldn't get a bucket for what I got the camaro for, that is as nice as the camaro

I don't really care about having a "nice" car, I want a fun car, something I can unleash some aggression on it's tires(like I do to the camaro)

Yes the STi is returning to 100%(ish) stock

I guess another option would be to just swap in a m6 tranny/ecu to the camaro

I'd go with A then. It's going to involve less effort (selling a car, then finding a suitable one to buy) and leave you with the most money.

BTW - you don't need a big down payment to buy a house, brotato. You might consider trying to buy in the next year or so as they're saying the housing market will be starting to rebound at that point and the costs will be as low as they're gonna get for a few years at a minimum.

Ya I'm aiming for Nov. Dec. to buying a house, if I go with option A) I would have at the worst 10% down(given the prices of houses atm)

Some rumors can be true, and some can be false. Until then, they are stuck in this Schrodinger's Cat-like "Its just a ****ing rumor" state.

What is the expected life of the SSD? flash memory write = damage
accumulated damage equals sticky bit.
