all i have to say is, don't buy what you can't afford. Meaning, don't spend all your living expense's on a car. If we wanna talk about numbers, 16/hr isnt that much considering your talking about all these expensive plans. I don't think I could even afford what your talking about. I was making $22/hr at Intel before they shut us down and laid me off. But then again, I have a family and a son to take care of too.

I could have easily bought a new car, but I can't let go off my 6thgen. BTW to all your coupe owners. I envy you because I am in love with that body style. This is a teaser I found on craigslist. My wife would flip if somehow my accord gave birth to a coupe. haahah

I used to be an Accountanting major. The college said I had to switch to something that was real.

If you're going to sell it in less than a year then don't put any more money into it.

if u stay with accounting then yea it sucks but if u wanna be a CPA and gonna get ur degree it is actually worth it... when the econ is this bad u need to keep track of every cent ur company has.. thats where accountants come into play!!

For no particular reason at all in an unbiased way, I say save your money for a fat down payment on an SRT-4. For no particular reason though, this is just a random thought.

okay here's the deal.

you can build a fast NA f23, you can do a h-series head swap, up your compression and be pushing 200+ hp, but the fact is that without drop, without upgraded suspension more of that power is gonna be lost in the transition from the bell-house to the wheels

to be brutally honest, you're running 18in rims, you're talking about deeply tinted windows, to me it sounds like you want a slow roller to show off. if thats the case, get some k-sports or f2 type-II's. get a lip kit, check out the members rides for ideas

do your research and figure out what you want, you don't need us to answer those questions for you

Perfect John!!!
