    Dad bought 1973 Mustang Mach I for me.

    Dad sold 1973 Mustang Mach I.

    Dad gave me 1987 Ford Ranger.

    Dad bought 1994 Honda del Sol for me.

    I sold 1994 Honda del Sol.

    I spent all my money importing a JDM 1992 CR-X del Sol SiR.

    I couldn't afford to legally register JDM 1992 CR-X del Sol SiR.

    I sold JDM 1992 CR-X del Sol SiR.

    I big balled for a while and was soon broke with no car.

    Dad cosigned for me to get 1994 Honda del Sol with B16a3.

    I worked and made payments on 1994 Honda del Sol with b16a3.

    What a long, strange trip it's been.

    I have had three cars....my parents laughed at me when I just ask them to co-sign...so I had them co-sign my first car and after that they said I was on my own...so when it came down to my magnum I had to have good credit and lots of money saved to get such a new car....but I did it. Hell I am glad...some of the kids I went to HS with are having a rude awakening now...oh well.

    Comprehensive, collision, no fault coverage, rental: $68 a month, and worked into that $68 a month is the $99/year AAA premium membership dues

    Why?

    Girl + honor student + swapped car (insurance thinks it's the 1.6 SOHC model) = kinda low insurance.

    The fact that I never got written tickets for my wrecks helps, too. Got a warning for "Too Fast for Conditions" when I tossed the truck into the lake. I also go to court and get a lot of my tickets dropped. I've been written 31 speeding tickets, but only 1 is on my record as of right now, and it's my most recent.

    But for anyone looking to change auto insurance companies, definitely check out AAA. They're cheap, and have good coverage.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    my parents gave me my first accord a 94 when i was 16..

    unfortunately i totalled it when i was 18..(wasnt my fault..some old people shouldnt be allowed to drive)

    took the insurance money and borrowed 2k from my parents and bought the 97 i have now, and paid them back.

    as far as my mods done, my parents haven't donated one penny to paying for mods on my car.

    If I told you , you'd think I was kidding. Wait for the write up once its done. It'll make for a cool story (this is the EXACT car I wanted in 1986 when it was new..and finally got it recently, not a similar car, the particular one I drove 20 yrs ago.) A cool/generous orig owner, and alot of hard work sure paid off!
