Kenny your a smart kid, but when it comes to things you want, you pretty much do what it takes to get it. Not always a good thing. Matter of fact usually never. So you bought the Blazer on what was probably a whim and thought, why air bag setup, nice rims, room for a sweet system, that bish is mine. You need to think shit through and through. Again I ask where are you parents at and what do they think of this stupid shit you do?

That is probably true, or else he knows someone else he is close to that could help him. Either way, it is retarded. He had a perfectly good dd in the LHS. Yeah some shit happened, but it happens with a lot of older cars. I say should have kept the LHS, hell you put in all kind of money into it. Then its yours through and through. Had a sweet system before you even did the wall and just enjoyed what you had. I dont get never being pleased with what most would die for.

i'm fine with my 96 bonneville. it gets me around just like a 20k car does.

it's just so retarded for a 16 year old to blow their money on a car. i mean i have a checking, savings and retirement fund. sure i could buy an expensive car, but i'll just be loosing money on it and won't have any savings or retirement. by the time i'm 60 i'll be a millionare an ole kenny will be riding around in his 8k car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I work two jobs... gave my mom a nice down payment and she "financed" the rest with me. The money I owe on it is sitting in my driveway... my 1996 Chrysler LHS I have yet to put up for sale (I've been restoring it to stock condition).

Sure, you might not like my decisions... and bigbang: you're correct, I bought it on a whim. I've admired it forever and when the offer was up for me to bought it, I did.

Noticed a lot of body roll, scraping around every corner (which I guess is expected, it is bagged), blind spots and lots of road noise. Sure, a lot can be fixed, but I don't have the money to fix it... and with the money I spent on it I could've bought a nicer STOCK car. My brakes went out the other day and they have been working randomly... put it on the lift today and found out I need a new brake master cylinder, new rotors, new brake pads and the roads down here are a bit crappy to have a bagged ride.

I didn't even want to sell it, but a friend offered what I paid for it in cash. It also has a salvage title, so it's value is not $8,000.

I have had many cars, from used to new. Have two newer ones currently. I have always had problems with cars being I was never happy. So I am trying to give him some tips so he is not to fall in same situation as me. Thing is when I was 16, I was driving in a 250 charger that I called the flintstone car. Hell, I had that car for 2 years and thought it was the shit. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif I mean yeah, now I have the money for the most part to pay for all my shit, but hell I could do so much more if I didnt have 2 cars. I am gonna be selling the 1 this spring so I can put some money down on a house and have money for baby things. Hopefully one day he will see the light. I am sure eventually it will hit him.

also insurance has got to be a ***** on these new vehicles that you are financing

Dude, I would just keep the LHS. I thought you sold it to get the blazer. Now knowing that you still have it, I would just keep it. I mean unless you sold everything from the rims to all the sound equipment, I would just drive the shit out of it. Looks nice and have done a lot too it. Why do you want to get rid of it so bad. You could once again fall in the same type of thing even if you get an 8-1000 dollar vechichle. Best thing you could do is get a car fax so you know the history on it and go from there.

I recommend something like a honda civic, prelude. Gets good gas mileage and if you ever want to sell it should hold its value good. Which I would check into since you dont seem to be happy with what you have.

I haven't been going to school... but here we go: I'm gonna get flamed for being a "drop out" or whatever you'd like to call me. I still go to school, just not as much as I should be. That will all be fixed very soon.

bigbang: I'm gonna fix the ****** with the money I get from the Blazer and drive it until I can find another car or until someone makes me a sweet offer.

My insurance is $320 a month... soon to be less. It was $450 a month when I first got the Blazer, pulling a lot of strings.
