idkn about your dads car, but the only reason my green sedan rattles is because its gutted for fuel economy (hypothesis in testing...lol)

my theory on cars is go faster.



that and I'm bang for your buck. I flip cars regularly. buy cheap, put a little in them and turn for profit.
had an 06 Chrysler 200m that I bought for $750.00 with 87k bc it was stuck in 2nd gear. $300 for a new trans valvebody and about 2 hrs of work... sold it for $4500.00

Well today I realized that guys do not like it when girls know more about cars than them. Even more so when they get called out by a girl proving that they really have 56 less horsepower than they were claiming. I love it.

Honestly I was hoping to get something newer than anything Saturn can offer. Plus I've heard 10 too many horror stories about Saturn.

Saturn can't offer anything anymore... lol
and I've heard 10 too many horror stories about just about every car/brand on the road.

same goes for any car, just gotta know what to look for when buying and know what you are capable of fixing. lol





But seriously, at your age and point in life, do you need a brand new car and its payments as well as insurance and all that?

I had a brand new car at her age. Had my Cavy for almost 10 years and would still have it if Jason didn't make me sell it. She will also be building credit.

Oh trust me getting a new car as my second car was never an option, nor did I need it to be.

I wanted to get something under 50k miles though. Something that'll last me long enough to get on my feet in the Air Force.

It won't hold much weight in court I think. GM has bigger fish to fry than this, I'm not sure who the idiot is who cooked up this idea.

lawyers.

and with the right lawyers, it'll pass.

its one of those CYA things and its not just GM or JD doing it.

Like when you buy a new game nowadays and you have to register it and log into an online account just to play the single player campaign... till the servers crash...lol

but you have to agree to like 4 separate agreements saying you don't actually own shit, you lease the intellectual property from them and if you tweak it, they'll **** you up. and then theres the whole arbitration clause along with tort laws... but thats a discussion for another day
