oh i forgot to add to the post above that i didnt badger them about buying me a new car i simply never liked the protege so they offered to buy me a new car after a year of driving the protege if i proved to them that i was responsible and stayed out of trouble.

 

Of course we would all jump on the opportunity, but that doesn't make it right. Rather than go from 90 hp to 280 hp, why not go from 90 to 200 and learn to drive on that?

 

that's only 1/3 the power of an evo, you dont have any tickets because if you floor the accelerator your still going the speed limit for who knows how long

i've thought about me winning an evo for free, but i wouldnt be able to keep it regardless because i cant afford mantainence, gas, insurance. if your parents are willing to pay all of that until your finished college then for you!
your $100 paycheck will cover gas alone, good luck lol

IMO buy something slower, like a srt-4 or an sti (lol)

 

any car can go above the speed limit though even a geo metro but that doesnt mean you have to do it. plus for the past 4 months i've been sharing the titan with my dad because i'd rather take out a nicer car on the weekends then my beater although i do have a 10" jl w7 in my car. the titan has like 300 hp true its heavy but i accelerates a lot faster than my car.

 

my parents dont want to buy me a used car so srt-4 is out of the question even if i did want it.

 

If you don't plan on going above the speed limit, why buy a new car? Doesn't the protege work?

 

it is starting to break down because my dad didnt really take car of it when he had it and it is nearly 10 yrs old. it is currently in the shop getting the timing belt changed and it had a cyl misfire. they said the cyl valve is burnt and some other stuff. i also want something that i like.

 

I think if you want it than go for it, I would be humble about it though and stop trying to defend your decision, because you sound like a skycrane, if you get it then come back and show everyone and they will all congratulate you. If you wreck it they will all make fun of you. That is just the nature of the Evo community.

 

lol that is true my bad but if dont get the evo which i may not now because i just found out that my grandfather was hospitalized a little while ago then i'll get a wrx which is the closest thing. my mom just told me that she has to set some money on the side just incase we have to take an emergency trip to puerto rico.

 

werd

 

would i perfer the evo...oh you bet and by a long shot. now will i settle for a wrx to be able to spend time with my grandfather then yes because the last thing i want is for him to pass and me not of seen him since 2 yrs ago

 

"Settle" for a WRX? What the ****? Most kids your age would give anything to have a new WRX and you are "settling" for one?

Do you understand how that makes you look?

 

hey if you think that is the car for you go for it...when i bought mine i jumped right into it no questions asked cause yeh...you only live once and you should be damn well glad that you can even afford one because this car are peoples dream car man....learn how to take risks in your life and enjoy it.....live life live it up.....if you need help purchasing one email me a eg_sick6@yahoo.com i will hook you up financed and all....maken work...vannon....

 

Agreed, did you also have to settle for Gucci and Abercrombie and Fitch? That just comes of as the most spoiled attitude possible.

 

i didnt mean to sound spoiled and no i dont wear gucci or abercrombie and fitch well my mom got me 2 shirts from there for xmas cause they were on sale for $15. honestly though i usually shop at tj max or marshals because i can find the same stuff for cheaper with the exception of hollister, which i like. i dont get a lot of expensive stuff i just ment that i could the evo but if the situation i stated earlier arises then i will get the wrx instead of pushing for the evo since i would rather see my grandfather before he dies and he means more to me than a car would.
