habitat he has ego problems with a van beating him going straight, but one day there will be an r18 vs a van race at some drag strip and we'll show him it so he can stop trying to defend himself and his little "van killer" r18
and in response to his 100k mile ownership cost with an si and r18, in 100k how long would you have had a car? possibly 5 years at minimum, if anything will be at a whopping $2.19 more a day for owning the car. for those who drives less, driven 100k for 8 years then it would cost $1.37 a day. this is including gas+higher vehicle cost. but your forgetting if you do sell the car, the SI would grant a better residual cost due to its model and worth, so technically the r18 doesnt cost MUCH more to own a SI. but honestly now, if your so into saving money per worth then a r18 wouldnt be your number one choice wouldnt it? youd consider a corolla or even a yaris as they would save you more money in the long run right? let me tell you this, is $1.37 dollars more a day worth a 8+k redline, 60 more crank horsepower, engine potential, actual vtec, better brakes, suspension, tires, aftermarket availability, interior design, and a spoiler STANDARD? most would say yes, people who dont absolutely care about a sporty feel car doesnt. if you modded your vehicle performance wise then chances are SI standard features would be more worth it to you. dont use price calculations with si vs r18 because unless you have no desire EVER to mod your r18 performance wise.
