yep folks, it’s taht time!!! _show music_ i’ve started looking around at cars… i’m turning 17 in ~2 months, so… what i’ve got in mind is a [scion tC](http://www.scion.com/drive/gallery/drive_tc_gallery.html). Also, i’m thinking of splitting the cost of a bmw minicooper with my mom (8k each). any feedback on the scion? i’ve not really heard taht much about the company, but they seem like a cool new deal 🙂 thx for any feedback :love: ---

Ah tC… Well bro, if you do get a tC, that would be surely pimp. Most people just dream of having one, and the kits for it are awsome! You can even bolt on a turbo, and possibly some tuning like a flywheel and whatnot, ofcourse, if it’s a manual. For the cooper, I would put some 15" deep dish rims on it, and a 2 inch drop. ---

That’s what I was thinking CG. I’ve been working since I was 15 saving money and I’m almost 18 now and all I have is a crappy Cavalier. Wanna trade? ---

hehe, thx fo’ the responses 😉 talked to the old geezers and they said that it’d be swell to have one, but i’d hafta think about them losing value… and no 28, the general idea is to put 8k as a downpayment… then payments per month would be ~125… and after insurance, i’d be paying ~300 for the car, barring gas $$… it’s a big deal :’( ---

Man if you have 8k to put into a car. And you seem to like tuning and or cars. Drop 8k into a 97-00 Audi A4. Has plenty of room to mod you don’t have to make payments or pay for full coverage insurance. ---

Old?? I used to own a Passat (the VW A4 equiv.) There is a pretty big community of car enthusiats behind AUDI’s. And they Audi’s may be a more mature car, but they are hot and will show you have a fine taste in automobiles.

I say w/ 8k I’d be going for a real classic like this one [http://www.cars-on-line.com/68must16621.html](http://www.cars-on-line.com/68must16621.html) Know a guy with a blue one, this is a serious car. :thumb: ---

ethan is right the audi is a far more respected car than the cars you have been looking at. If you’re going to spend 16k you could make you’re audi so good girls will be fighting each other to get a ride! if you know what i mean. ---

I love old cars, like 80’s. My favorites and best looking are the Toyota Corolla 86’, which is in my footer, and the VW scriocco/coroddo. ![](http://www.corrado-club.nl/meetings/2001/a16/images/P1000634.jpg)
