jeez, your lucky.

I got a project car when I turned 15. It is a '86 Volvo 240 DL Station Wagon for $300. When we (my dad and I) bought it didn't run and the steering rack sucked. It also was missing a rear bumber and other micellanious items. But after working on it for a while, it is almost ready to drive.

great car. You can't go wrong with a Nissan. I myself have a 98 Nissan Maxima. Thing is a beast and still runs as if it were brand new.

i have been debating some cars for a while....i had a 2000 Eddie Baurer Explorer, but it had 172,000 miles and just had some interior cosmetic issues and preformance was starting to wear it out. I was looking at the 300 and 500 series BMW's, Volvo s40, Nissan Z, and the new Mistubishi Eclipse Spyder. Three months and several test drives later and i now have my own personalized Z Roadster.

I got the touring edition over the grand touring for the loan factor - paint job, i wanted white...with all chrome of course :o) Ill probably get some nice new wheels and rims put on it within the next couple months and get more chrome accents on some of the exterior

I drive a '98 Mazda B2500 with 165,000 miles on it. It runs great, I can't complain, decent gas mileage. And when it eventually dies I get my dads 2006 camry.

Yeah, Im trying to sell it. Gas is raping me hardcore right now. You get an AT or MT. I personally woulda gone for the STI over the Z but im more about speed than looking good.

'86 Volvo 240 DL Station Wagon....

My fair city is loaded with those things, but there's one that doesn't sound like the others. One of these days, when I can detain the owner for a few minutes, I'm going to take a look under the hood.

I have to go and pick up my 1990 Chevy Beretta from the shop today. I love 'er and all but u got hooked up to tha max. I bought my car for like $300 and have put in 10x that much into it already :-\ Post some pics so I can be even more jealous. It'll take away from the fact that i re-rolled my ankle today just taking a step.

When I'm ready to drive I will share my dad's ex- 2005 Hyundai Elantra. It is black, completely tinted windows before it gets to limo, custom sound system aftermarket spoiler, and once my brother gets it, which is this December I will get new rims and maybe enhance the sound a little more.

I had a CRX, well it was half mine.


Now I have a very womanly car, but I don't care sweet stereo, chrome rims, and some small engine upgrades to improve gas mileage. 33 MPG (Canadian Gallons)

2000 Honda CRV, with the above.

Performance chip

Cool Air Intake and new exhaust system.

:bawling: I wish I was rich :crying:

me too!!! Just to clear it up I personally am not rich. My parents would be considered by im assuming the majority of people on TLF "rich" or whatever you want to call it....i think it terms of well educated and have worked their butts off their entire lives to get them where they are today. I am in no way, shape, or form "spoiled" ...i do have alot of nice things but they are NOT handed to me. I have a job, am VERY involved in my school, and just lucky i guess.
