Take a look at Honda Preludes, I loved them. Wish they were still around, but the Accord Coupe kind of makes up for it.

No but he did so he got it, just what he deserved, he degraded anyone who was disabled, mentally or physically. he got a free education and wants everything else the same way, he is no better than those in Alabama who screwed over the government with their EBT cards when they took advantage of China Mart.

he is an arrogant young man who has had everything given to him on a silver platter but thinks he still deserves more. Why should I even do anything to help him? Besides he has no idea what working is all about, Yet. lets see him drive 2 hours each way and then do a 12 hour shift.

He is an Engineer let him figure it out.

No I promised him I would be here longer than he would and make sure he paid for his disparaging remarks to the disabled, and I plan on making sure he does, got a problem with that.

Well as long as you're doing your part to make this world a better place to be, I've got no problems. Hope it makes you feel better about yourself.


Nitro- sorry, I don't have any good recommendations for you. Not for under $5k at least.

MIght want to get a car that doesn't commonly overheat. I know the winter's coming, but you know you may find yourself in long stretches of "bumper-to-bumper" traffic...

Marvin- I have a high regard for your opinion and please don't take my first post as a blanket statement. It was directed towards one of the idiots who put his overly sensitive nose into a thread he didn't belong in yet again

I should've said, no Hondas . I'm not looking for an econobox, I'd like it to have some personality too. I commuted with the trans am 80-100 miles daily and it broke down on me twice (it was down for a month at one point). Its in really great shape now, almost every single thing on the engine has been replaced and its been running excellent for the last 6 months- but I'd rather have a backup. Not to mention the mileage issues. I'm really leaning towards NB Miatas but its slim pickins around here, lots of 9-3s but I don't know enough about them- apparently the 2.8s are a little tough to work on.

Hey Steve, keep milking that butthurt. I can't imagine how miserable and empty your life must be that you feel the need to follow me around over the internet . You remind me of Shauna from RFT actually, except at least he seems to have half a brain despite his idiotic tendencies? Womp womp

Edit- TDA I'm commuting out to Melville every day with my hours being 8:30 to 6 so traffic shouldn't be heavy at all. At least from what I remember when I used to tough it out to Farmingdale for 8am class, roads were clear in the morning. The 6pm will be eh but shouldn't be terrible, I really need to get myself a place on the island or eastern Queens.

Yes, I do. You're an idiot. He wasn't making fun of the disabled. He said you barely had a grasp on the English language. It wasn't anything to do with the disabled. It was just a comment about how hard you are to understand.

You decided to go with the reason being your stroke. That all may be true--but nitro didn't say anything about that. What he did say, is you barely have control of the English language. Which is true. He didn't say anything about your stroke or mental illness. Any mentioning that he did is completely twisting his words. You have no right to do that, let alone follow him around and harass him because of it. You imagined an insult that wasn't there and you are now using it to attack him.

Yes, I have a a problem with it.

Glad to hear you know so much that you have that TA back to its new dependable self. So that engineering degree is doing you so much good, just what was your grade point average? Because if you were any good at what you spent all that time in school trying to learn you would have had it be dependable by now.

as far as what you hurt on me it wasn't my Butt it was my feelings when you tried to degrade anyone who has a mental or physical disability yet you can't get a car to get good mileage or be dependable. Sounds like you are mentally disabled to me. Keep up the good work.

No not in this thread but did in the original post that started my distain for him. Or did you forget how he tried to degrade me and anyone else with a mental or physical disability.

I would like a Metro for a daily driver. They're pretty cute and get like 40+ MPG. Obviously, you won't be picking up the babes in it. That's what the Trans Am is for anyway

My parents won't let me get one because it's too small. So I decided I'm going to buy a manual Sunfire when I get the money (they're super cheap around here). First I gotta get a job though

Good luck and hope I helped

Awww, a Sunflower

Like I said though, I'm not looking for an econobox- I don't need 35mpg. I want a car I can actually pick up a potential girl in (the Trans Am is soooo not a chick car haha) and dependably commute with. The Miata is stretching it a bit because its small, but thats why I'm trying to keep my options open.

So out of curiosity does anyone have experience with the previous gen early 2000 Saabs? 9-3 or 9-5? They're quirky and I like that
