I'll be a software engineer with Cerner Corporation. And yes, a college degree is required. And it's impossible for anyone to have the Eclipse or Clarion. They haven't been released yet. I think I'm just going to call the dealership tomorrow, tell them to scratch the Nav, and just get it...

Well, as much fun as the Si would be to drive, I can't drive a stick. Also, I can't wait four months for a car. I'm starting a new job in a new city in mid-July, and have to have transportation. Also, the Pioneer is the only one that's out right now. The Eclipse and Clarion have yet to be...

A word of warning on the Si. I was looking into it originally, but the wait time is 60-90 days. Emphasis on the 90. Regardless, having done a little research, I've basically got four options. The Pioneer AVIC-Z1 or AVIC-D2. The Eclipse AVN6600. The Clarion MAX675VD. The Alpine was...

A word of warnng about the 2006 Civic Si... That's what I was originally planning to get, but every dealer I've talked to has said that right now getting one with Nav is virtually impossible. The wait is 60-90 days, emphasis on the 90. Anyway, having done a little more research, I've basically...

Okay, so I recently put a down payment on a new 2006 Honda Civic coupe EX with the built in Navigation. However, ever dealer I've talked to keeps telling me that it'll take 60-90 days to get the car, which I simply cannot wait that long for. If I call the dealer and tell him to scratch the nav...

I'm starting my junior year at IU next Monday. Business and technology major myself... A lot of the advice guys here have given is real good stuff. Here's my two cents: 1) Make friends with your RA. The nicer to him you are, the less likely he'll bust you when you stagger in drunk at 3 in the...

G35 Coupe... You mean the American Skyline? :-p *drool* I would kill for that car. Seriously. If you need anyone knocked off, I take payment in cash, check, and performance automobiles. j/k

Here in Indiana, you can't have anything that indicates that you are an emergency vehicle visible above your headlights. Therefore, green, blue, red, purple, yellow, and white are all out.

Amen to that... I know too many people that have taken Supras and RX-7s for a spin and had some real problems, either in accidents or tickets. Get yourself a nice little Honda, save some big money, mod it, and get to know cars first. THEN buy a 600hp Supra.

Forget it... The age of the American performance car is drawing to a close. The only real performance cars left made by American companies are the Mustang and all it's iterations, the GT40, and the Vette. The road belongs to the imports now. You've got the WRX STi, the Evo VIII, the RX-8, the...

For a decent custom job, reupholstering a midsize family sedan is in the neighborhood of $1800, so I'd imagine that yours would probably run somewhere in the neighborhood of $2500+

Well, an idea that was suggested to me is using pure oxygen in a tank stored in the trunk that's run to the exhaust. It is flammable, but not explosive like gasoline. But you definitely need a switch for that *****

Sparco seats are junk. I know a guy that's installed a few, and said that they were flimsy and not well built. I suggest Corbeau, Cobra, and Recaro.

Realistically, intake/header/exhaust will net you some performance gains, along with improving your MPG. However, you'll gain a lot more if you adjust your driving habits. For example, avoiding driving in the middle of the day when it's hottest out, not using your AC, closing your windows on the...

Out of the ones you listed, I'd go either with the RX-8 or the 350z. WRX's, STI's, and EVO's are designed for autocross, and such a lot of people find their handling and ride a little stiff and uncomfortable. The MR2 is being discontinued because no one is buying it. I think it's because it...
