Should I drop paintball for a car?

[~WarpedRT#2~]

I'm wondering which I should invest my money and time into. The car would mean dropping paintball, or just leaving it for a long while.

Pics below of the car, or the gun i want. E-Mag of course

The car would be an 85' Toyota Sprinter GT-S hatchback. like this one.

And of course, this beauty. Actually, I could get those both for about the same. That car is really inexpensive,(aftermarket parts will cost alot) just having a hard time finding one near me.

there is NO way I would drop paintball for a car that is 18 years old. I don't care if it's rare or there if this is the last in existance.

Even though I hate asian cars, but that one isn't THAT bad, and I do love pball..... GET THE CAR!

If you have one, then there is no need for another. But, don't waste your life on pball. Get a car, and get out more often :)

here ya go

car=transportation=job=money=paintball


thats my equation for the summer.

Buying that car, and putting money into it is not an "investment" (well, I guess you could call it a bad investment)

Actually, people strive to get this car. They modify it to race it. Very big in Japan. It kills Nissan Skylines and RX-7 FDs on downhill races (hows that for a car with 150 hp). It's for drift racing, and since it's so inexpensive (for a car) I'm trying to locate one.

If you're gonna turn it into a 'rice rocket' and race it for more money, the I say " more power to you".

Get the car and a 150 dollar classic mag and play whenever the cash is available. If you don't have your heart set on playing paintball period there's no need for a thousand dollar gun. Get a mag you can toss under your bed for 6 months, bust it out on your birthday and play with your birthday money :)

It's so funny, the car has barely 150 hp, and has a SOHC, and NO TURBO, and still beats all these high priced cars. Well, see, I'll be moving out soon, and even if I get another job, I'll still have to pay for the place I'll be staying, the car + upgrades, not to mention gas, and tires, tires, tires, as well as pay off college loans, food, utilities, blah blah blah. I dont think I could really afford paintball. And besides, I'd be having fun with the car, and have no time for pb. I'm still working it out.

and which 2 or those 3 cars look good? the car you showed a picture of looks like a brick. The FD and Skyline look HOT and have performance to back up the looks(and also have the ability to be modded out the butt). You're telling me a 150hp car beats the FD(255hp stock) and the Skyline(I think 300ish stock) through the corners? Considering the FD with the R1/R2 package hits almost 1g(.98g to be exact) on the skid pad and absolutely tore up the auto crossing circuit untill the Corvette Z06(that's a total of 9 years) was released, I have a really hard time believing your statement.

No, it's true. Download the video on kazaa of the two AE86s racing the Skyline (called "Skyline vs. 2 corollas). They toy with it the whole time, and then they pass it in the last lap like it's nothing. And get some Option drifing videos as well. Horse power is worthless in a course full of turns. You never use the power, and if you try to push it too hard, you just spin out. Drifting is very difficult, and an overpowered car is worthless. Also, I don't care what it looks, like, actually the corolla has grown on me, and I love the way it looks.

Edit: and it's a GT-R they race as well.

It sounds like you've already made up your mind on which you wanted.

Good luck to ya!

lol, you could buy a bunch of emags with all the money you'll have to poor into that car before it passes a half broken down skyline running on olive oil :)
