High school kids: What kind of car?

Minnesota01R6 · Mar 10, 2005

BlazinXtreme
I'm calling my agent tomarrow and ask if it works with college as well. Even though I don't pay a whole lot in insurence for a Blazer, I still want it to be less .

It should work up until you are 25. I know that state farm also has a program where you watch a movie and take a test and you get a 10% discount as well (between the ages of 16 and 25)

Now back on topic: when I was 16 I had no car. 17 I got an Eagle Talon Esi (the really crappy one). I had to lemon-law the car, and I bought a 97 Trans-Am Comp T/A. (limited edition...still sells for list price). I had to sell that when I went to college, but since I was away my dad decided to trade it in instead of selling it himself, and he lost me $8,000 in the process.

So far, GameBoyFX has the best car here! XD

Ive always wanted to own one of those. I remember back about 2 1/2 years ago, someone was actually selling one near my house for about $3k and looked like it was in mint condition. Its still there but he must have decided to keep it. :indiff:

Yes, Gameboy has an awesome car. 1st car I drove in (Only twice) before my dad passed away was his 944 Turbo S. Never got to see his Turbo model though...

However, only a people on here know what I drive.
I did give Acura, but not the model.... :sly:

Damn you people and your own cars.

It's virtually impossible for me to own a car thanks to the ridiculous insurance in Ontario. No matter what I drive, I'd be looking to pay at least 3000-4000 dollars a year in insurance. Otherwise, I'd certainly be driving a 240SX right now.

So, in the meantime, I get to use my dad's '93 Explorer whenever I need transportation. In all of it's 18 second 0-60, and mashed potato suspension goodness...

Amen! Even Motorcycle insurance is stupid for anyone under 25 in Ontario.

My car hasn't run in 4 days. I finally got it started today! 2 stupid problems caused the no-start condition. :grumpy:

Aww man, sorry about your dad ._.

Wow, an Acura with 20hp has got to be something big right? Yours may be the best one on here, lol.

Does it begin in an N and end in an X?

If you want to sell your turbo Saab to get another car, I'd be willing to buy it! :sly:

My parents are paying for mine right now because....well....im trying to find me a job. Im 18 and its still not easy for me to find a job anywhere. I even filled out an application to an underemployed theatre. xX;

BTW I do have that low insurance because of my grade average ^^

Actually, im not sure what trim it is. Maybe I should go ask him sometime or is there a certain way you can tell? BTW - I cant see the rear of his car unless I literally pull up into his driveway and walk up behind it, lol.

Lol, the 20hp was a typo ^^;

I knew it had to be the NSX because I dont know about any acura that would cost that much used, unless someone bought a brand new Acura and sold it the day after they got it, lol.

Not quite. I got a 3.77 average for my 1st semester in college. :sly:

My parents pay for my car insurance because they want me to concentrate on my education. That's not going to last for much longer, though. :sick:

Based on the specs he provided, I think its the non-turbo version.

Yes, she's my daily driver.

4th car though.

1st-3000GT VR4
2nd-Ion Redline
3rd-Fiero... :indiff:

4th-NSX

I had plans for the Fiero to be made into a Lamborghini and actually had all the money saved up to take it North America Replicas, aplace that specializes in Lambo., replicas. But saw the NSX, and got it instead.
