Thread: What I'm going to ask for a grad present

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'.

Sounds like you have absolutely no idea what you want in a car.

Unless there's something you left out, your grand prix has plenty of life in it. Parts are mostly plentiful, relatively cheap, and the car is pretty easy to work on.

Keep driving your grand prix for a few years. Who wants to take a nice car to college, and park it in a lot full of cars that people don't care enough about(door dings and scratches galore).

Ok, so if your parents think you have to have a car - sit down and think about what you need/want in a car.

You're throwing out small cars, big v8 powered cars, suv's.
Do you need an SUV for any reason?

So you like acuras but not hondas? well whatever i guess. Im going to highly suggest an acura RSX then. if you want it to be quick and fun you can get the type S, if you want a good DD you can get a base and get good MPG. This would also be better in snow than the firebird and gto ect.

kolt, doesnt your prix have over 200k? lol in that case they would be right.

No I don't need an SUV you're right.

I thought about it today. I narrowed it down to a Jeep Wrangler Sahara, a lower mileage GTP, and either an eclipse or an RSX.

I think the GTP might be the best option. That way I can still be with you people

It landed heads up. GTP it is because of the hud

Good, GTP does great in the snow.

This ^^^

I'd never own another WBody again.

I'd also drive that Grand Prix until it falls apart.

It's probably got another solid 50k on it at least if it is in "decent" shape now.

I'd tell my parents to save that money until I got out of college that way you can have a nice car to start off with...not get all crapped on and ran down the four~ years you're in school

All struts do is make your ride better.

Don't need working struts to drive a car...





























Technically LOL.
