Also freezing rain/ice from the storm crossing the country is going to hit right when we are supposed to leave tomorrow... Ugh.

Tagged @Dad and @Honda-Fan in another thread but they don't have access to. How did you fair with the storms yesterday? Read quite a few of tornadoes broke out down there.

All of the storms stayed well north of me. Just had some light rain. @Honda-Fan got it the worst up in Dallas as far as rain and wind go, maybe some hail too

Supposed to be well below freezing for Christmas here in Texas. Potential for snow as well
 
We’re up for snow at Christmas here too. It’s rare for snow at Christmas here much less being our 3rd snowfall already. Most years it’s only a single snow storm.
 
This is being traded in. 22 GTI 6mt with 16k kms. I could buy it for 38k plus tax. Sell my civic and dart and finance this or keep my civic and dart because my civic is done being financed this summer and Ill have $100 a week to spend on anything else I want????

After a quick search and CND conversion.....seems like that price is cheaper than anything I can find within 500miles of me regardless of trim. I guess it would depend on how much the monthly payment is and for how long you want to finance it.

Pros....you have a practically a new vehicle, hatch, lots of new tech(potentially) compared to your Si.
1 car to deal with....no storing a car in winter. Only one car to insure, maint(which should be less)
more potential for modding it

Cons...having a monthly car note for longer and possibly for more than you pay now?

Payment would most likely be more than I pay for the si. I don't have enough equity in the si to bring the GTI down enough plus interest rates are higher.

Financially I would be stupid to do it.

I don't know. My dad's 23 GTI feels possibly as fast or slightly slower than my modified si. Modified GTI would obviously be faster than the si though.

I hate the GTI engine issues like having to walnut blast the valves as maintenance.

So many pros and cons. The main con is having car payments.

FAR more Pros than Cons. The GTI is superior in almost every way. Valve maintenance comes with any DI Engine nowadays. Nothing major. The only thing to be cautious of with a 6spd is finding a clutch that can handle the insane torque put out by the EA888. Some stock clutches can’t handle the factory tune let alone some OTS Stage 1 Map.

I think the biggest con is the car payment thing. I know the GTI is a superior car. No question about that.

Having a turbo car would be much easier to modify. My si is currently faster than my dad's stock 23 GTI though.

Yeah, but add the same mods to the GTI and the VW is now faster.

Always “hate” when people try to compare a modded car versus a stock car. Not picking on you @Janz3n I just see that argument allllll the time on the interwebz
 
I ran my civic into 3 feet of water. VSA stalled my engine. I made the mistake of turning it over under water. Only one quick time I knew I wasn't going to start. Next day I drained half water half oil. I pulled the plugs out blew water out of the heads. I put regular oil and some marvel mystery oil with it. I kept the plugs out for awhile and just turned it over like 50 times. Put the plugs back in and ran it for about 2 miles. I drained that out and it was like chocolate milk. Then I put synthetic back in and the car is running good now. I only been about 200 miles since this happened but car is running fine no smoke either. Only thing I worry about now is water got into the transmission.
