What I'm going to ask for a grad present

Amen..two last to post. It's going to get trashed and you always have those my daddy bought me this car type of person who can careless how they park.

Another option.. drive gp as beater to college etc. Leave good car..at home or wherever you feel comfortable leaving it and enjoy no door dings/scuff bumpers etc.

buy a mini if your British, maybe if your lucky you can score one with those gay British flag mirrors too. just dont pick up the British accent to or you'll get laughed at and be the newb in college lol

Not trying to sound like a dick either but you may need to think harder on your reasons. you could always fix whatever wrong if anything w/ the prix and drive it the first year or two in college or until w/e breaks is not worth repairing anymore then look for new cars.

I get that things break, but in the past 2 months I have put the 500 in it. I have this bad feeling things are just going to start dropping out from under me lol

Ls Juan cars can be had with a little under 10k....


Automatic that is. But that shouldn't turn you away

No lol they already gouge on the grand prix though . I'm 17 and I will be 18 in November

Enjoy lol

I would say no to: 3 series, xterra, liberty, durango, element, and 04 gto without even looking at them. Just IMO.


If you're going for a gto you should go for an 05

What's the difference between a 04 and an 05? :rolleyes:

04 gto have the 5.7 liter v8 ls1 engine. SSingle side dual exhaust that looks lame as well as a normal hood that's boring. 05-06 gtos have the 6.0 liter v8 ls2 and has split dual exhaust which looks sweet as well as hood scoops and all around better gto. (IMO) ls1 cranks about 350hp and 360 trq while the ls2 is 400 hp/trq

I see.yeah would definitely go for an 05 then :D

im pretty sure they started putting the LS2 6.0 in GTO's half way through 05 because i know some 05's have the LS1 5.7 and some had the LS2. the only thing bad about the GTO IMO is the independent rear suspension, they dont hook up as good in a straight run.

but the 5.7 LS1 is still good, for the right price i wouldn't mind having one

who cares what he gets, in a few months it will be destroyed because he does not appreciate the value because he did not have to pay for it himself

I would say no to Gto/TA..your 18 no need for a v8 and at that insurance will be pricey for mommy and daddy. Plus have your checked what they get for mpg and maintenance isn't exactly cheap on LS.

Integra is overpriced and for being a 17 gear old car. Even if the mileage isn't over 100k.

Eclipse = DSM crap. Your better off keeping gp if your look for 'more reliable'.
