Hey, welcome to the forums! There are some other ladies on this thread too so you're not alone! Anywas, I don't know if you're in college, but best advice is just to not buy anything for the next year lol. Except for what you need of course, but thats basically what I am doing lol.

Below is a post Quoted from FBODFATHER (HE'S a BIG WIG at GM) and has been connected and or worked VERY closely on the Camaro from its birth in 1967. When I hear words like this from the TOP GUYS (can't emphasize that enough) This inspires me to buy one scoop of ice cream instead of two (thats a LARGE sacrifice to me) and to save every last penny I have for the BIGGEST BADEST CAMARO EVER! (I’m praying, but If not I'll have to settle for a used C6 corvette) but I’m confident this Camaro will rock your world. So keep the faith! You’ll never regret it! Quote:

I especially like the part where fbodfather writes:
......we want to watch as you park it somewhere and turn around - time and time again -- as you walk away from it - with that sense of pride that says "Yup -- THAT'S ALL MINE! -- beware, all of you who drive something so inferior........" For sure. Thanks NOODLES.

I don't know much about building cars either, but I have learned a lot about how things work since I joined. I do know how to be cheap. First off, I pay for most things in cash. Its harder to hand $80 over than a piece of plastic, plus there is no interest to pay. I have a personal weekly cash budget for things like food and entertainment. Anything left over I set aside, then buy things like my stereo when I have enough. Avoid eating out, take a lunch when possible -this is also healthier. Thirdly, cars are expensive -gas, insurance, repairs. If you can avoid owning one you will save a ton of cash. If you do need a car, make sure that it is properly maintained -tire pressure, regular oil changes, little things like that. And don't drive agressively. Stomping on the gas, then the brakes wastes them both. Doing those things have saved me alot while I've been at university. Its going to save me more while I wait to buy my Camaro in a couple years.

Hi Jenn, and WELCOME! It's good to have another Californian on the boards.
Anyways, I can either echo what people have said and say something random. No new handbags or shoes for the next year. =P |
