First car

[Saber19]

I might screw it up but down here there just isn't any kind of place to do anything crazy and show out. Now if I still lived in south Atlanta it might be a different story. Nah but seriously, I wanna really take care of whatever I get and I know I don't need anything crazy as my first, what I DO need though is some way to convince my parents to get me a used car x.x If not I might be inquiring for a job at the Ritz and working my arse off Then I can do what I want to about it...for the most part. But yeah...keep em coming.

IA giving good advice, I'm impressed...
don't spend ALL your money on the car, leave some aside for emergency repairs/other non car-related stuff, you wouldn't believe how many younger people spend all their paychecks on cars/parts and then when they need money bad they take big losses on selling parts/cars (just check the FS forum, everytihng starts with "I'm short on cash so..." hhaha)....
don't get a very fast car until you learn to handle it, that is very good advice...also don't go street racing, that's usually an accident waiting to happen.

i had EXACTLY the same intentions with my first car, I'm 17, my first car was a 98 prelude, i loved that car... , i took really great care of it, but it was totaled by another driver who just ran a red turn arrow right as i was coming through the intersection....and boom....the car is history. i hope that doesnt happen to you man. it really sucked.....
