questions for car brahs+car discussion

[Minjin]

At 18, I'd suggest avoiding the turbo AWD cars. They are great fun and one of my favorite types of car (I had a 450hp Galant VR4) but they will teach you bad habits when it comes to driving. You're still in your formative years. Get a non-turbo RWD car. Something that will teach you how to be smooth with the brake and throttle and that won't sort it all out for you if you pick the wrong lines.

brb 2 jobs 10+ each an hour, brb get 110 a week from my father because he hates my mom and gives me child support direct.

phucking lold, 2 jobs 10 an hour each, youll only gonna be working for your car bro. be smart. i make good money, saved up 12k already in 2 years. and i pay loads of bills including rent. when i was 19 i wanted to spend all my money on some fast flashy car too. i still wanted a quick little sports car so got acura rsx type s. reliable, good for daily driving, quick, 200hp stocked.leather interior, comes with bose sound system. 6 speed. with the money u say you have u can buy like a brand new 1

[BLAQSAQATTAQ]

OP why don't you just invest that money and in a year or two buy a really nice car?

[16cup]

You sound like you don't really care that much about cornering performance up to the point where you need a full track-prepped car to keep you happy. I don't know for how much you can get E46 M3's in the states, but they are fast, comfy, perform quite well as long as you can handle a RWD car, ballin' in Laguna Seca Blue or Phoenix Yellow or classy in darker colours, sound nuts with mild exhaust mods and a carbon airbox, AND the most important part, much cheaper to maintain than STI/EVO's...

[Scarcy]

Outright buy a reliable, used car for ~5k. If its your first car, your insurance will be through the roof and the car will, most likely, getting some bumps and bruises. Save yourself the frustration of making payments to boot.

[Bababooey100]

8-10k is what I'm aiming for.

Once again, the misc fails in it's ability to read the ****ing post and posts nothing but Evo's, STi's, and low end luxury cars.



Get one of these. I've got one as my DD. All you need is a Spec Focus suspension and good brakes/tires and you'll take M3's in turns. I track mine a few times a year and never had a single reliability problem. They're a bit slow <45MPH since they don't have a lot of torque but if it's that big of an issue you can add a supercharger fairly cheap. Try to find one with the Euro package w/ the Recaro seats. I have the base model and you really need the bigger side bolsters for cornering. Aside from that they're cheap and easy to work on and have a ton of aftermarket support. They're easily had for $8k or less. Put the rest of your money in an IRA. The RSX-S is a better overall car but still carries a premium price used. Buy a nice car later on in life.

He said that's the size of the down payment he was going to make. You seem to be the one that can't read the ****ing post. Fail.

[midniteOG]

buy something ****ty for your first car. keep the payments/insurance low and beat it. then, with more money saved/knowledge of how the road works, etc. buy something decent. dont go putting all your eggs in one basket, and then end up totaling it a year later, with heafty insurance payments

[natathlete]

I live at home... I have no bills what so ever and I will continue to live at home until I want. I make 2500 a month at 18, this thread isn't about me buying a reliable or cheap first car.

2500 after taxes too, half my income is cash anyway.

[Eskimo]

thanks for the neg by the way because I don't want a 200 hp "sports car" that is slower then my moms SUV for mid to upper 20ks

[Blacklabel3]

Hay OP, you decide on anything yet? What are you opinions right now?

[dvrmstrng]

I love reading these threads...

suggestions for 23k max @ age 18:

m3, terminator, STI....herp derp.

[natathlete]

Hay OP, you decide on anything yet? What are you opinions right now?

In order of favorites Honda S2k, SVT cobra, m3, maybe a boxster S.

I'm not a huge fan of huge displacement+heavy car so I wouldn't get a GTO. No hate it's a nice car and a classic.

Evo and STi is on the bottom of the list to those of you who keep repeated herp derp don't get one ect.

Maybe you should spend the $ on a reading comprehension class if that's what you got from my neg. good luck on your broke by 19 goals of 2012.

The s2k only has 30hp more at peak rpm by the way So why would you want that if your moms suv is "faster" maybe you should remove your mouth from her tit.

Good day sir. Teen misc ----->

I love muscle cars but I hate the whole only goes fast in a straight line thing,[/url]

hngggg

Unless you have had alot of experience driving the curvy, no matter what car you get you will be slow a$$ ****, so you might as well get a car that you personally like. I've lapped plenty of high powered cars back when I had a 110hp car. Speed is determined by the driver.

That said, @ 18 if you are paying for your own insurance I would avoid paying heavy bills each month by getting expensive sports cars- you might as well use a small fraction of that money to buy a beater car to learn to drive with, then get "the sports car" when you hit 21 and your insurance rates drop. Plus, by that time, you would have 3 years of racing experience to put that new sports car to good use.

not paying own insurance.

I know how to drive, trust me.

Acting like 37 hp isn't a huge difference+10 pounds of torque. Not factoring in power to weight ratio and aero. AND the car isn't even out yet. Auto makers tend to hype up there cars before they release them. You are 24 ******* stop acting like you're old and have such wisdom. also strong stats 5'6 205. enjoy being fat.

[Dropkicking]

Man I never understood why people spend so much on cars when they are so young. Just by a junker and invest your money so you can by a nicer car when you get older and when you have a stable income.

That is just me. I am like the dude who is no fun at the party, but I am just think about it financially especially at this age if you plan on going to college/university.

I drive 110hp Kia Rio and I will be driving the blue beast for many more years and I still have fun with this slow bastard. Though even for my car all the expenses add up fast. Gas, insurance, oil change, winter tires, etc. So I am glad I spent less money on the car itself so I had that money to put forward on all the other expenses.

[jwlee7ucla]

not paying own insurance.

Unless you have been on that track for a signicant amount of time, I can guarantee you you don't. I was the exact same way when I was younger, and I got my a$$ schooled. I competed all the time with my friend on the track, and he instructs/competes now.

That said, if you are not paying own insurance, s2k's are cheap, which means you will have more modding money. Should save the mods for driving lessons for now though, you learn more on a stock car before you slap everything you got on it.

S2000 is a pretty solid car. I only ever see older men driving them but I'm still jelly. Bump up the horse power a little bit and get some good sport tires and you have a nice little road weapon.

I love my 1985 Iroc Camaro

though she needs a sh*t ton of work.

I carted for 7 years. I've been to tracks and driven on them in actual cars and put up decent times. I'm not just pulling the "I can drive" thing out of my ass. I know how to take turns, when to brake and when to accel

I wish I had grown up in an area that had access to karting or any other real form of racing.
