Just sold my 01 Celica GTS and now it's just me and the EP3. I guess I have to hope nothing breaks cause now when something breaks i don't have another car to drive to the parts store! That Celi only had 66K original miles...

Yes sir, only the EP3 for me.

Not currently. As of right now, I have a 1995 Saturn SC2 that I've been using as my daily for the past 7 months. I should hopefully have the EP back on the road tonight, then I have to sell that Saturn and rely on the EP as my only running vehicle, which is a bit nerve racking given our past, I'm not going to lie.

I also have my 1992 Saturn SC (pictured in my avatar) and a 1966 Mercury Comet, however both of those cars are currently waiting for work. Hopefully I'll have my Saturn rebuilt and driving again soon, I just had to pull it off the road due to high mileage (270K) after the fuel pump finally gave out. Reliability was starting to become questionable, so I decided it would be in my best interest to put it in the garage until I have the time and money to completely go through the engine and suspension and get the car to where I want it to be.

I've also got a 97 ek sedan auto that I beat the living piss out of.

It wasn't, but after my Mx3 GS starting eating oil, it became my only car. I kinda miss that rust free hunk of junk 1.8ltr V6 MX3. This winter I'll be driving Kenscivic's Subaru.........hopefully.

technically not really... I got the wife's leggy. We work opposite shifts so it works out... but hopefully this Autumn I'm going to change that.
looks for a AWD vehicle. Something along the lines of either a CRV, RAV4, Tacoma V6 4x4, or something Subaru.

kinda..i get to drive my dad's 03 VW Golf whenever i dont feel like using the EP

not to thread jack..but why does everyone call them ek sedan/coupe??

they are ej's :mmad:

Yep, only car. The gf has a Acura EL I can use whenever I want, so that's helpful for getting parts I don't think of before the car is torn apart (which is VERY rarely).

Jmage
06-22-2010, 05:47 PM
Yeah only car I own. My DD, my work car (I'm on the road), my mod car, well.. the car that I love the most :D Reliability isn't an issue with this car

EDIT: Almost at 120k mile!

If you want to consider an EP a car then yeah I guess.

Just the EP3. Caltrain being nearby helps with those days that its down.

06-22-2010, 08:45 PM
the wife has a pilot and I have an older Dakota for hauling shit around in addition to the EP. the EP is the DD

This!

The wife has an newer fg coupe, but the EP is my one and only ride.. I'd like to eventually pick up a truck or something like that when she's paid off next year, so I can really tear it apart and not sweat it.

Yep the EP is my only car. I have an FZ6 that I could use as a backup though.

Twisted-X
06-22-2010, 09:14 PM
I've got too many cars to give the EP the lovin' it deserves. :mfrown:
'86 300zx NA to T (Perpetually broken)
'94 RamVan 350 (Haulin' Shtuff)
'96 Accord LX (220k miles Daily Driver)

I had originally intended to make the Z the daily (before the 'cord), but I think that particular year range is cursed to be Nissan's most unreliable ever. The stock motor is good to over 500hp though :tehehyper:

I got my Ep3 as my dd for school around 125 miles a day my gas saver. I had a 34 pickup with a flathead 4 my little rat rod project sold that and now have a 32 model A sitting in the garage with a ford 9in rear end and a 406 begging to be built :mbiggrin:

As of right now yes. My wrecked EM1 still sits under the carport though. Soon as I pay the EP off I'm thinking of getting a 06+ SI or S2K.

Sub
06-23-2010, 05:38 AM
Yep Yep.. Ep3 is my only one, I do have a bike also. So if my car is out at least I have to drive/ride as long as it doesn't rain.

1999 Chevy Tracker I bought a month or so ago. It's a Suzuki, and it's so nice to drive I sometimes choose it over my EP:mconfused:

06-23-2010, 09:10 AM
haha no, i have a 99' EX Coupe that is, well was, in PERFECT shape, but i had a little too much fun with my "beater" (it was actually going to originally replace project EP3 :( ) and it just started going bad, the exhaust manifold broke, the cat went, the car has 147K on original clutch, and the quarter panels JUST started to flake paint with rust underneath, but im fixing it all before winter, cause i love that car and i dont want it to go to shit, but since i JRSC'd my ep3 about 5 months ago... i've driven the coupe... once :)

Heitzke
06-23-2010, 09:17 AM
I've also got a 99 GT that I use as my DD (surprisingly) and my nice car. It's in super good shape and only has 75k on it. I rarely drive the EP these days, it mostly just pisses me off.

06-23-2010, 09:22 AM
Yep...Only got the EP...thinking about getting a beater so i can do more to the EP without having to worry about getting around...

I have two other forms of transportation. a 67 olds ninety eight and a shweeet scooter. my ep3 is my DD and i plan to keep it that way. once its paid off i'm looking to build a single cab S10 with some LQ9 6.0 power under the hood (LS1ish) gonna need to keep a gas saver around for sure! i want to dress up the ep3 tho, it might not break necks with power but it will turn heads with looks! i still plan to have my dream car one day.. impreza wrx sti

LOL must look like a honda graveyard

haha not really, everything is under tarps to keep the rust away and they are spread across my parents property...the silver one is out by the barn with a tarp over it, the white one is on a chassis dolly i made with a tarp over it by the wood pile, my old red car is still rolling with doors on it with a tarp next to the garage, the crx is infront of that, and the race car lives in the garage...all the parts are boxed and organized on shelves either in the garage or the barn...we need to clear out the barn and roll all the cars in there

I drive my EP 99% of the time. The wifey has an '07 Fit Sport (auto) that she buzzes around town in with the youngin. Since I work at a honda dealership I "get" to drive my parents '07 Accord or '06 CR-V, and the mother-in-law's '10 Accord EXVL to work when they need servicing.

I'd like to find a decent EF to play with though.
