Thread: What car should i get?

OK, allow me to be the voice of reason. What you need is a clean early '90's Chevy Cavalier, a mid '90's Dodge/Plymouth Neon, or maybe a early '90's Escort GT. At 16, do you want to spend every last dollar on your ride, or would you like a social life.

If the cost of gasoline isn't bad enough, figuire in the cost of insurance and the cost of fixing up and maintaining an older car. If your parents are financing this toy, fine, but if the money is coming out of your pocket, a nice, clean, '92 Dodge Shadow will make a nice ride. And if you are going to drag race it, get it with an automatic.

I actually finish second at Milan Dragway once back in '88 with a '69 Plymouth Valiant with a 225 slant six and automatic, I was able to run comsistant 19.20's and knocked off 12 and 13 second cars all night. Use this as an opportunity to work on your reaction times while still getting 35 MPG.
