Gohan's first wheels

[Indecisive]

Mom just put a deposit on a 92 Blue civic. It has a lot of miles - 160k, but Civics do run till like 300..

Interior really clean, looks like new. Only 3 problems that I saw, all of which were minor:

-Loudness/virbration when accelerating quickly
-Drivers seat rocks slightly-hes gonna fix that
-left back lock dosent work with the auto lock thing - dosent really matter because I will only be having my 2 brothers in the car..wont be using that door.

Runs great, ect ect.

Auto, 4 doors

:heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: Mom

[Indecisive]

Rofl. Pics tuesday at the very latest. 98% sure Ill get em up tommorow



On a simliar note, just went on my first solo flight with my moms car yesturday with a friend. We drove all around town and got lost a few times :p

went down to the airforce for the airshow, (bastards closed the gate on me) we went to the airport, (we are doing a project for school btw) went and saw hellboy....Sigh. Good fun. But holy shit I got lost at the end after I dropped my friend off :p

[SilverLord]

Wow...another civic to add the the kid commuter club.

[OneManArmy]

i never had one but honestly its the best first car to get a kid. good gas milage, can take one helluva beating, and when they wreck it your not out much. :)

I mean most of us want bad ass cars but honestly, to put it in PS, terms do you want some newbie driving an ANT or a Vanguard / Mag-Mower? i think the choice is obvious ;)

[Indecisive]

Hey im not a noob :p

I waited an extra year after getting my learners in order to get my full licence. My driving = win.

[Rbstr]

Damn you and your cars, i probably won't ever get one from my parents.

mabee if i find a realy good deal they will. off to autotrader.com!

[Hamma]

Congrats on your first whip :p

[321]

Congrats :lol:. I want to drive :(.

[Biohazzard56]

Ill have to get a pic of my 1997 Ford Ranger :pimp:

[Bighoss]

congrats on the car, Civics are nice from what I hear. Enjoy cruising over the paved ocean you lucky sonbitch! I still have 5 more months :(

[Indecisive]

:D!!


/edit/ Fuck. Dumbass bank is freezing the god damn moneh transfer for 5 frickin days. WHAT THE FUCK. Uber gay.

[JetRaiden]

:( ouch. tough luck.

I got my license a week ago and I dont have a car yet. :( parents wont help me fund it until my grades improve. FUCK YOU BIOLOGY!

anyway, Im looking at buying a WRX off eBay, Ive gotten alot of good buys on Ebay, and this should be no different.

[Indecisive]

Yeah, but what about the 500$ for shipping :p

[JetRaiden]

Ive found a few people selling within 5oo miles of me so I think I can pick it up or somehting.

[Indecisive]

What kind of 00's are those? 500 miles...thats...a lot.

[Neon Apocalypse]

pics:

[Indecisive]

I know. I wish. :(

[JetRaiden]

What kind of 00's are those? 500 miles...thats...a lot.

Id rather drive 500 miles then pay 500 bucks. :p

[Indecisive]

I suppose you are right.

The guy that I bought mine from gets tons of cars from auction or something...about 3 miles away from my house. Civic popped up, I jumped on it.

[Bighoss]

You know what you should do! Go get a million dollars from somewhere and buy an amazingly cool car. Thats what I would do, the plan is flawless... dare I say perfect?

[JetRaiden]

:rofl: nice.


just go around asking someone to give you a million dollars. someone is bound to say yes eventually.


I dont even think you can buy a car over 100k if youre under 18 because of High-Risk insurance. my dad has that on his aston martin so I cant drive it yet. :(

[Indecisive]

Anyone who can buy an 100k car no problem is required by law to give me an absolute minimum of 5k.

[JetRaiden]

welll you can drive it if you want, but if you wreck it insurance will pay for nothing. and if you get in a fender bender with a ferrari, thats an easy 20k right off the bat.

[Indecisive]

That dosent eliminate my 5k. Gimmenowkthx.

[Neon Apocalypse]

You said pics tuesday by the latest. IT is 7:42 pm EST, there are no pics.

[Indecisive]

/edit/ Fuck. Dumbass bank is freezing the god damn moneh transfer for 5 frickin days. WHAT THE FUCK. Uber gay.

[NoSurrender]

gohan... don't be gay. thats squeeky's job.

[Indecisive]

You're right. My bad. Squeeks can have is job back.

^real, working thumnails. cool, huh? (i'm bored.)

[Hamma]

Import = Ban

[Indecisive]

Import = dosent self destruct after 100k miles :p

[Hamma]

Neither do domestics, thats just a cheap cop-out.

[Indecisive]

Honda's are just more reliable.

My parents have owned something like 4 hondas, which had like 2 minor problems between the 4, and 2 fords, both of which kept fucking themselfs up.

[Hamma]

I've owned nothing but fords, never had a problem.

[Indecisive]

Then you are one lucky mofo.



/edit/ Ah. Thats right you buy yours new correct? My parents dont really have that kind of cash.

Which reinforces my point that imports last longer.

[NoSurrender]

wait what year and how much are your parents paying? My dads a cab driving and he used to love his Caprice Classics but, his Crown Vic owns he says. ironically a new civic is 14k and insurance for a new driver costs more than the car

[Indecisive]

92' Civic

$2250

[OneManArmy]

yea I'm with the fuck imports crowd. but every car I've owned (ford, Mercury, Chevy) has had thier share of problems. my chevy just turned 102,000 and it runs like a dream, granted it leaks a little oil probally from the valve seals, but thats chevy's trademark. I ran that mercury to the ground (good ol cougar with the 5.0) literally the engine fell out. and the ford, well I did what should be done to all fords, I smashed it into a few trees. :D

and of course my neighbor has an old honda with like 250,000 miles on it and its just now ready to crap out.

but yea they're nowhere near as bad as these ricers make it out to be. oh unless you buy a dodge ;)

[Indecisive]

Theres no use buying a used Domestic. There just isnt. I cant afford a friggen new car. Nor can my parents, even for them. So. Honda for meh.

[Jennyboo]

Cool :D:D:D

[SilverLord]

My Acura Integra '94 has 171,000 miles and still runs like a dream. The only things wrong with it are a craked engine mount and a broken door latch.

[Cryptica]

I'm saving up for a car, I found a '91 Civic (I'm with the import crowd, they just have a better track record) for about $1150, 97k miles on it and not a spec of rust! There are a few things on it that need to be fixed, but they're all small (the windshield wipers need replacing and the brake pedal sticks a bit.) But a mechanic I have here said he could do the brakes for $100 so I figure it ain't a huge deal. Hamma if you are that lucky with fords then I envy you. My mom drives an explorer and it craps out quite often.

[OneManArmy]

well ford does stand for Found On Road Dead.

[JakeLogan]

Being a mechanic, (I know I'm pulling that card out again, bleh) I find most of my work on imports mainly little jobs (oil changes trans fluid so on so forth) but if you got something big go honestly your fucked, because in most cases import parts are EXTREMELY expensive mainly due to the fact the for most nessecary parts you have to order from the dealer and the screw you over all the time.

I got a 1989 Thunderbird SC with over 281,000 miles (It's my traveling car not my local truck which is Ford F-250 Superduty Diesel good for hauling things and great on gas milage for a truck) I've had to put $1,000 dollars worth of part into my T-bird recently a new rear axle and a new computer along with an Air conditioner, besides that the car is a bear, runs great it's fast and handles like a dream. If I got a domestic that the owner brings in every 3000 miles for tune-ups it will last as long.

Here is a buying tip for older used cars:When buying an older car make sure it has a good number of miles on it. Don't go out and buy a 92' Ford probe with 57,000 miles on it. Because most likely it was owned by and old lady that drove it slow and only local not on the highway, Highway miles are nice miles not as stop and go as local (unless you drive it during the rush hour then you are an idiot) So most likely your younger personality will want to put the throttle to the floor a little and eventually that will lead to a blown headgasket (trust me I've seen it before with this kind of car) so if you buy and older car make sure it's got at leat 87,000 miles on it.

oh and for most imports look at the door jab or other manufacture stickers most of them are made by domestic companies.
