Seriously I want to bitch slap the guy who thought putting and auto in a FD was a good thing.

Anyway, I also saw the price tag for em. I never realy had the funds to buy one and do the work needed to keep em running. So I opted to get a FC. They were much more common, not like they are common or anything.

Then a magical thing happened. I took my first FC for a drive and it was like a motoring fog was lifted. Since then, I never looked back. I even stopped looking for FDs. I actualy started looking for more FCs. HAHA.

Seriously FC for life. So a FD can get more power, who cares? Unless your talking about building a track car... even then, FCs make great track cars after building em up with all the fixin's. Its all about the ride.

FC. FD is ugly (in my opinion anyway) and the most unreliable car ever made.

as much as i love the death out of my fc, if i ever had the opportunity to buy an fd, i would soooo hit that.
especially since, in your case, you don't really have to get rid of your fc. it's still there. and i'm sure your dad would let you drive it.

they both look great. they are both fun.... it really is a hard decision, but i would definitely go with the fd. you just can't pass up good deals. you regret it later. trust me, i know.

Seems like you want an FD.
Just buy it and see for yourself. And if you think you've saved enough and have more than enough for all the extras and more extras, Good for you! I don't know how much you have but if it's not an issue, then that' great. Go to the FD section too and see what's going on over there such as issues,repair costs,mod costs, etc. etc.
Keep the FC.

Mine. I like both.

anyways, if the FD first caught your eye-and the fact that you experienced the FC already-why not go for it?

btw FC owners are more mellow cuz of the ganja we shmoke while FD owners (who have more money) use kwoke-ain(lol)...the coin slots in the center console makes good dime bag holders
