Haha its my biggest regret is getting rid of the silver talon. Was the first car I learned anything on and I loved it to death. I sold it out of frustration on a whim and I've never stopped regretting it. The kid I sold it to tore it up and sold it basically as a barely running shell and the guy who has it now I keep in contact with and ask him every month if he wants to sell it.I believe the whole blowing up DSMs then selling them part. That happens all the time.
Never have blown up a DSM, worst I've done was the headgasket which I bought the car knowing the headgasket was going out. I've actually been pretty damn lucky with my DSM's and only had misc issues that were annoying but not major like broken motor mounts, stuck throttle cable. I did have my timing belt jump on the laser but I ended up being one of the .003% lucky few who didn't have any valve damage, just retimed and hit the road. I really miss the DSM world and will be back in it after college without a doubt. Just don't want to do it again until I'm out of college and I can do a serious build with an auto 1g.
