Everybody is giving this guy grief for $1000 on a dog. Sometimes you gotta pay that for a quality dog. Mine was $800 ten years ago. I looked into american bulldogs and puppies were going in the $1250 range from a reputable breeder and those are lucky to live 6-7 years.

Getting one from a reputable breeder with guarentees cost extra but it can save ten times that if the dog is healthy vs. a puppy mill dog with lots of genetic issues. Some people can say discard a dog with health problems but it is not easy when you get attached to the little buggers. Hip displasia, diabetes, eye problems can happen in many dogs with bad genes and the cost is huge.

I am not a big fan of Chihuahua's though.


Sorry to ramble off topic. If you can find an 84-85 RX7 GSL-SE model or even a 2nd gen, they might be a fun car too.

yeah, i guess if you have to have a pure bread dog, but that's for another topic. I have seen the problems that having too many dogs in the pound system causes first hand so i'm sensitive..what can I say. What do CRX's go for these days?

Or it could be that he's got a bankroll of $2300 and wants to spend almost half on a dog. If he had a bank roll of $20K, then I'm sure no one would have as big of an issue that he wanted to spend 1/20th of it on a dog.

I'm with you there. I'd take em all in if I could. Just not cats.

i"m not really a cat hater. I've had them for a long time and they have all come to their names and been pretty interesting animals. My wife and I fostered puppies down in texas and it was horrible to see how people treat their animals. Please adopt! It's a really neat experience to help another hopless being..and you will have a friend for life!!

im going tonight to check out a 87 (think its an 87 or an 89, dont exactly remeber the ad, cant find it again) bmw 318 (or 3-something) convertable 5spd. got 123 thousand miles on it for 2600. ive wanted one of these cars since I was little lol. is there anything specific I should look for in that car, besides the obvious stuff like the top, clutch, ect.

If youre going for the e30's, try looking for a 88-91 model.

1. Spending 1000 on a dog is dumb... Spending 1000 on your girlfriend, well that depends on the relationship and not really my business.

2. Buy a 1300 beater. Then sell that 02 Accord for some decent money and buy something you might actually enjoy. Good example lets say 94-98 GSR.... Then you can start a decent project modding and what not and if it breaks down you have the beater back up to get you to work or whatever.

Just my .02 Good Luck

92-95 Honda Civic. SOHC POWER! you can get them for under 1k. a turbo kit for them is around 1500ish. youd be able to hit 200WHP on a SOHC d16 motor. and in a 2800lb car, its pretty fun. plus, before you boost, you can get unleaded either that or a EG or EK hatch and boost the SOHC motor. it makes decent power.
