most parents dont understand putting money into vehicles as a hobbie or spending money on rediculous items that are fun to own. They feel it is a poor investment, which it is but those poor investments are also fun. You are young and you only live once so do what you want to do. As long s its your money and your not tied down it shouldnt matter what you do with it

keep the truck...I could think of several ways to drop a few thousand into it.

What kind of job do you have to have that much disposable income at 18? Just out of curiosity...because I want that job! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Hey man, I had a 2002 Honda Shadow ACE 750. Bought it the day i turned 18. Had wrecked it 2 times with in a year, but that shiit was still fun as hell. Those bokes are great. THe spirit is gear to accelerate fast, but the freeway speeds it isn't fun, its geared high and the rpms get up there and its tough to criuse faster than 70 and still be comfortable. (85 can be done, but its not something u wanna do for long distances. Did I mention I got in 2 accidets?

Subaru Impreza WRX STi.

If I had $35k, I would be at the dealership right now.

If you aren't down with an STi, R32s are hot. Great interior, naturally.

 

[NegativeEffect1 10+ year member]

i would but i checked insurance for a 19 year old on a sti...$4000 every 6 months...i have a clean driving record too

 

[CONSOLIDATED 10+ year member]

Ouch.

Toyotas bring back the Supra in '06.

It will probably be around that price range, if you want to hold off for a couple more months.
