They are cool old people cars...I want one when I get old

[hismajesty]

I wouldn't want that car, nor would I want to drive it. (In reference to original post.)

I've been thinking about what car I want recently - mainly because my mom asked me what 'realistic' car I want. (Meaning, not a Porsche) All the ones I've been thinking about I've ended up learning that that either the car or the company doesn't have a good track record or they're hard to work on, etc. Hm.

If you want a car built by a high quality company which is extremely realistic (don't take this the wrong way, anybody, but it's from Japan), then Nissan or Honda is for you.  They are not hard to work on.  What do you mean by track record?

Curious, what kind of car do you want?  I'm currently driving a Pontiac ..., but that was handed down from my mom, to my brother, and to me after two transmission changes, busted engine mount, various other issues under the hood, and 60,000 miles later.

Edit:  If you're talking about the Buick, I'm sorry for this post

I doubt I'll be getting one from a Japanese company, since those are pretty much Fords main competition - and my dad works for Ford/has stock in Ford/wants Ford to do well, etc. The plan was for me to get my moms car and then she'd get a new one, but I don't know if that's still going to be it. I'm not really sure what I have to spend on one, and I don't really care too much right now since I don't get my license until October. I guess when I get an amount I'll be able to find one easier. I had wanted a Land Rover, but I heard that some people ended up putting more money into them for repairs than they actually paid, etc. That sorta thing.

No thanks.

No thanks.

Unless you're getting a '05 Mustang Cobra, don't bother with Ford

[hismajesty]

No thanks.

I don't really like Mustangs, or Ford in general - but they do put food on the table. (And we get a substantial price cut if we buy from a Ford dealership.)

COMMUNIST!!! BURN!!!


Anyways, isn't the Cobra a 06 car?  500 stock hp, so nice.  I should trade my truck in.  Since your dad works for Ford you get special deals...maybe get an Escape or a Ranger.  Unless your parents plan to spend bigger.  A base Mustang is like $20k

Yeah, an '06 or '05... I think trust would be fine with a nice V6 3.8l mustang, there good cars, and they're not slow either.. I have a friend who drives one.. Also, getting a V6 is smarter. While other people with those GT's are spending crazy money on insurance for there V8, and crazy money on gas because we all know how V8's are on gas, you're spending less money on insurance for your V6, and less money on gas. And yeah a GT is faster, but throw a vortech supercharger into your V6 and you won't have much of a competition.

...that is why you get the Shelby Cobra 500....

Lies... the 3800 series 3.8 liter v6 is probably one of the world's most reliable engines.

I'm highly doubting my parents will let me get a Mustang. I know my mom won't let me get any sportsy car (she's overprotective and I have a lead foot). And, unless we get a really good deal, I'm almost certain I won't be getting a new car.
