i think kj about sums it up.

if you're hard up for cash sell the bike, your car is one of few and you're damn lucky to own it.

I am not going to say sell it or keep it, I just would like to know if you could share the rim/ tire sizes and offsets with me..That car looks killer!

Thanks!

I've got a great condition 89 GTA and a yamaha R1. Unfortunately, the GTA which I've had for 5 years now and have done much work on has taken a backseat to the bike. I know how you feel dude. I don't know about u but I've been riding every night for the past week now...I've been riding for 8 years and it's just as fun as in the beginning...and the performance of motorcycles is unbelievable...even my friends C5 doesn't thrill like my R1.
Anyway, bottom line. I'd get rid of the car before my bike. But that's just me.

Bikes are obviously blisteringly fast............ but in my opinion are worthless. I'd much rather have the 1LE, hands dwon, no comparision, and I think just about everyone on here would agree.

How about answering his original question insetad of telling him what to do with his car or questioning his actions?

www.nadaguides.com will give you a good estimate of what your car is worth.

Thanks there deadbird, I don't know how everyone got caught up with this whole bike vs. car thing. Bike is paid for, car is not....selling bike still woudn't yield enough to pay of car plus I enjoy the bike. Also, I'm being transfered out of state & will have now where to keep the car or the time to work on it/play with it whereas the bike can easily share a parking spot with my jeep...& NO, I'm not getting rid of my Jeep & bike! Thanks!

I'm being transfered out of state for my job & can't take it with me....as for Kj Rockz-Gee, let's think...a reliable Jeep in the dead of winter or a hi-po camaro, there comes a point when maturity & responsibility take priority...some day maybe you'll understand, it's just a car& I was just curious what you guys thought it was worth....

Naw, you're gonna be kickin' yourself down the road... you should rethink... or at least sell it to a good home that might let you buy it back down the road.

Hard to say what it's worth... $12k? You need to list miles...
