[Iam99x'sWIFE]

Hi, everybody. As I'm sure you can tell from my name, although it may be a bit misleading, I am Iam99x's girlfriend...not his wife :(
I've been a member of 240atl now for a while, but I decided to join this forum as well. I'm trying to learn about cars, and so far, I've been unsuccessful. I know more than I did when I first started dating Iam99x, but I'm still relatively ignorant about automobiles. Any help you can lend would be amazing :)
One of the main reasons it's difficult for me to learn is because every time I ask a question, I get an answer that involves technical car terms that I don't understand, so if you can help me, please try to keep it basic and explain EVERYTHING like you would to a child. No reason to be mean. My interest in learning is genuine.
I guess I can tell you a few things about myself, as well. I am a sophomore at UGA this year. My undergraduate major is going to be in accounting, and I plan to attend law school to be a corporate attorney. I drive a beat up, piece of shit Ford Focus, but my dream cars include a Mercedes McLaren and a Bugatti Veyron. I also really like the look of Nissan 300zx's, and I might be interested in having one as my next car if I can ever afford it while in school. I'm 20 years old, and I live in Athens in an apartment with my boyfriend.
That's about it. I think I've met some of you in person at Sonic Meets, but hopefully now, not only will I learn more, I'll become more acquainted with you all.

Who the fuck is Iam99x?

[Iam99x'sWIFE]

lol....he's a member on here.

[quickdodge®]

Who the fuck is Iam99x?

It's as if he was known on the boards, huh? It's not like it's Halfbaked wife or Sammich's husband or someone people knew.

Lolol. Later, QD.

[AnthonyF]

That's adorable. How long have you two been together? It will soon all come to an end b/c he showed you this site. Wait & watch.

Welcome BTW. I believe ur "husband" goes in the porn section a lot.

My wife has nothing to do with this site or any events related to it. That's just asking for problems. Later, QD.

[Iam99x'sWIFE]

Hmmm....pretty rude, huh?
Nah, I have trust in my boyfriend. He doesn't go look at porn. I please him enough ;)
To answer your question, we've been together for 2 years. He didn't show me to this site of ask me to join, just like he didn't ask me to join 240atl. I joined here and there because I have a sincere interest in learning about cars. If you're not here to help me, then there's not much of a point in replying since that's all I care for. Me joining isn't asking for problems. I'm glad he's into cars, and I support him fully.

Being super important on a website is SUPER COOL! Congrats...I bet you feel special. However, I live with my boyfriend, am around him 24/7, get on his computer daily, and have been looking at this site for months now even though I haven't been a member. So, nice try. Maybe next time ;)

Welcome to IA. You're not gonna learn much from people around here 'cept how to be an immature little prick on an online forum. If theres any advice I could give you... it would be to stay away from the next person to post. He has swine herpes. Its airborne.

[TougeGTR-33]

Welcome! Ignore all the hate lol.

[iam99x]

Yeah, who the fuck is Iam99x?


Welcome! Ignore all the hate lol.

Is your name by any chance, Chad? Long shot...

[Iam99x'sWIFE]

Thanks. :) The best site I've come across thus far is howstuffworks.com.
It's pretty good at explaining things without making them too technical. And the diagrams are helpful.
As for this site not helping any, it's what I've been told, but I suppose if I ever come across a question that I can't find the answer to online or something that is only described in technical terms and I needed it dumbed down, that's when I'll come asking for help.

[Dr.G35]

Well good luck and welcome to IA. BTW use the search button it will save you.

[imprtguy_94]

[Iam99x'sWIFE]

Both sites have their positives and negatives

[FleeceJhnsn]

[Iam99x'sWIFE]

Well, my car was totaled. NOT my fault. So now I need a new one. But I really need to keep the price under $1400. And I don't want a 240. I truly want something automatic. I somewhat know how to drive a manual. My boyfriend taught me a bit, but it was only for a few minutes, and then I never tried again. If I learn to drive a stick, I want it to be because I want to learn, not because I need to learn. So that's why I don't want to get a 5 speed. Soo...what would be the best car for me in that price range and that is an automatic if I want to learn about cars or get into the car scene? A Honda?

[Schroeder]

I doubt you'll be able to pick up a decent Honda for under $1400

[Iam99x'sWIFE]

I was looking on Craigslist, and I think I found some. I mean, what do you consider "decent?" Our qualifications might differ since I'm not really informed about cars.

[Iam99x'sWIFE]

And why would somebody negative rep me for my first post? I'm being friendly and trying to learn about cars. Is it that there's always that one asshole out there or are people on this site really like that? Is that something I can come to expect?

[Schroeder]

Something without a crap load of miles that hasn't been beat to shit and something reliable thats gonna last you awhile.

[Dirty1]

welcome.... u can always try an impound lot, thats were i got my DA. (it did need a clutch, and eventualy an engine, but it was 900.00)

[Iam99x'sWIFE]

I purchased a 1998 Ford Escort ZX2 this morning.

[Dirty1]

good luck

[JohnnyC.]

I purchased a 1998 Ford Escort ZX2 this morning.

Welcome to the Site!
Good luck w/ the ZX2, they are way better cars than they get credit for!

[Iam99x'sWIFE]

I paid $1100 for the Escort. It's been well taken care of. There are just some minor issues that won't be difficult to fix. My boyfriend and his friend can do the work so there won't be a charge for labor. Just supplies. It needs a new clear coat on the hood, new tint on the driver's side window, small exhaust leak that should be able to be welded right up, new antenna, new front fog/blinker light bulb, and it needs an alignment which my boyfriend can do at Athens Tech when they open back up for the new semester. It might seem like a lot (or maybe not since you all work on cars and probably start with cars with problems and fix them up), but it was just about the best I was able to find for the money on short notice. I had to buy a car this morning, or I'd be screwed. So, I did. I like it thus far. I need to name it now. :)

It will probably be your fault since you like to fuck other peoples women so much...

Change the oil regularly and they run forever.

[antj101]

Welcome to IA! If your serious on here and dont act like a DA then (most:D)people will take you seriously.

[Iam99x'sWIFE]

Carguy07 just brought me the antenna I needed for the car. :D
He offered the antenna, drove to my apartment since my car isn't good for driving in bad weather, and gave it to me free of charge. He also taught me some things about my car.

Thanks, carguy07. I appreciate it! Now I can listen to the radio :)

[carguy07]

you're welcome. got to help other people who own zx2's.
