I found out what I’m gettin for my first car today. I’m gonna get a Mitsubishi Eclipse. It’s the basic automatic model. I don’t care though. It’s a really cool car. It’s gonna be about 18, but I think it will go down to 17 with my mom’s company discount. I’m gonna be saving up for a while for the down payment however. I think I’m gonna save up about 1500, which my parents are going to match. I’m payin for half of it. I can’t wait. It’ll probably be a while before I get it, I’m guessin 6 months, but I don’t care… woohoo!!! :beam: ---

Belgium: yay, a car… yay, traffic jams. It’s cool to have a car though… those American pick ups are awesome. My favourites are the Dodge Ram and the Ford 1500 (if I’m correct with the names). Anyway, I don’t have a car yet. Still going by train, which is boring but faster then by car if you have to go all the way to Brussels in the morning. ---

I have to admit a Smart Cabrio or something can be cool too… I drove one the other day, great fun. 🙂 In the small cars section, I’d pick the Alpha 147 though. Cool thingy. ---

i think these trucks are not really necessary. the need a lot of fuel and you actually do not need fourwheeldrive in the city - OK, i know you cowboys COULD come sometimes into some adventurous situation, but your 9 metre-long dodge-ram wont help you then 😛 ) i would prefer a alfa 147 too, but the gta version (wr000m, wr000m) over all, i would prefer european cars to american… favorite cars: alfa 147 gta bmw 318 audi a8 i drive an audi a4 atm… ---

my jeeps pretty good on gas. and trust me, in new england in the winter, you’d better have 4 wheel drive, even if this is in the city 🙂 plus there is nothing i like better in the world then offroading and exploring parts of the world that others only wish they could get to in their puny little jellybean cars. 😉 no offense to anyone who likes jellybean cars plus its fun to go topless in the warm weather hey bullet - what part of jersey you from? i lived there my whole life… just moved up here last fall ---

my first car was a 1951 GMC stepside pickup… the thing was mint… my Dad stole it from me within 2 months, and I ended up with a 4 door sedan… what a chick mobile… I quickly sold that for a 1974 MG midget… Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

well I like tacos, therefor the earth is green thus creating a huge wad of Kleenex which will DOMINATE your father. (and his car) ---

hrm, too bad my JEEP ran over all the tacos and squeeshed them, thus rendering the earth brown and beany, thus eliminating the need for kleenex in search of a higher, more durable wipe (toilet paper), which will wrap up your dad, his car, and your car, and the remaining tacos, and present them in a nice little cocoon to my dad and his motorcycle and his car to eat for brunch on sunday.
