Well this now makes the last Aspires made officially 14 years old, and for a lot of us, older Aspires are the order of the day. How much longer do you think all this fun is gonna last? I know mine just won't seem to die

Sadly... this year I will be saying good-bye to my poor egg in the new year.

I can't have two vehicles at my apartment here so my aspire is going to have to go
5 aspires after I started I'm going to miss having one.

There's gotta be a way round that...with gas going up to $5 something, you know that new Mazda isn't going to treat you as well. But you're not really enjoying the benefits of a stock 1.3's mileage anyway.

Oh I am with this car. its my 4 door 95.

This is the longest I've ever had an aspire that was stock engine and transmission equipped. I would love to keep it but I just don't have a place for it. I know a few people who are interested in it that will take good care of her. I was just trying to get the AWD trans and swap parts from the Mazda originally, but then he said it would be cheaper to take the whole car. so I did... Some time later down the road look for a come back with possibly an AWD aspire. My next apartment after the lease is up here will be a multi-car place, maybe even one with a garage. *fingers crossed*

August is when it runs out, a good bit of time to store it. I want another 2 door one, I'll just save up for a nice minty 2 door, maybe even an SE, they pop up from time to time.

That sounds like a plan, there's a very clean rust free tudor right down the street from me for sale right now. I know It's a stick for sure, because I drove it about 1 or 2 years ago when someone else had it for sale. In fact, I had done a post about it maybe 2 years ago asking what everyone thought the most I should pay for it should be.
Anyway, I've been meaning to go see what these new people want for it now, If it's a reasonable price I may pick it up just to resell it when the Gas goes through the roof.

Here's how that "for sale" sign will look on it:

--------------for sale-------------
-----------40 MPG!----------
--------------$x,xxx--------------
you can't afford to not own this car!
