but going by your sig...u dont want a rotary

i mean i like the thought of rotary but im not trying to buy something that im going to have to spin wrenchs on it all the time just like i allmost bought a 01 325i but the labor costs are horrible

also buying from a private party is kind of difficult for me seeing as how i have limited credit none bad just not much good so car loans from banks are pretty tough for me

rotaries are great engines, it's just that few people actually know how to care for them right and when those apex seals blow, it's not as simple to fight as pistons =P

i live in dahlonega so handling is my main point when buying a new car.

I'm just curious but what does living in Dahlonega and good handling have to do with what car you get? Later, QD.

I have a Buick Century and have driven through Dahlonega on several occasions with no problems at all. And as fars as I know, the Century isn't exactly known as a Petit LeMans competitor. Later, QD.

im not saying that i couldnt drive through dahlonega without a car that handles

i just figured since i live in the mtns then why not buy soemthing that handles to make things a little more fun

honestly i dont see why your challenging me on this subject im in no way out of line for living in the mtns and wanting a good handling car

Why do you see this as a challenge? Because it's me and not someone else? Later, QD.

Your user title, honestly, is probably one of the gayest things I've ever read. Sorry, had to.

But, I'd definitely say Miata, it's by far in the top 10 most fun cars to drive. Even stock, it's almost like driving a go kart.
