help what should i do

i got a 04 civic vp for a very good deal a while back and my mom helped me buy it and she basically made me get it for gas mileage and it still looks cool but slow. i am still in school and should i save the money from my job and eventually trade in my car and get a acura rsx-s or mod up my 04. I am leanin toward the rsx-s

think Gas prices.... the Civic runs on 87... the RSX-S requires 91+... how much do you want to spend on Gas?

word...wait on it. mod a little here and there but nothing crazy. by what you said, i guess your in H.S. and if soo....EVERY KID in h.s. tries to out do everyone...just do a few clean mods and you'll be set until you go to college or when yoru done w/ it. i mean...def. save maddd money on gas and...for maybe 1-2 grand....you can get yourself a simple system/tints/wheels. maybe even a drop if you find some good deals. and your SET!!! now your car is phukin' pimp and you still get close to 40 miles to the gallon. hah!!! your set!!!.

definately keep the 04 and put a little work into it. dont hassle with a car you have to work so hard just to pay off a monthly payment. do it when your ready and set.

if you wanna save more money, try lookin out for used parts or for good deals from private sellers.

example: i bought my audiobahn sound system , 2 12" with bandpass enlclosure, amp and capacitor for about $600 total when it retails about nearly 1g+.
