  1. The Vette gets 'em wet! (even a 190hp version from '89) :burn:
  2. You would think after the first time, one would learn wouldn't you?
  3. I kinda like it compared to the existing 6th gen's (just not sure about the headlights) http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/18/new-york-08-preview-2009-nissan-maxima-leaked-on-forum/ http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/03/my09maxima_06.jpg http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/03/9080318.005.mini2l2.jpg
  4. I don't understand how this happens. Granted, I've come close a few times when I've decided to go just one more exit, but never have. My girlfriend was talking to her sister on the phone today and her sister ran out mid-conversation. This is the third time in less than 6 months. She wanted us to drive nearly to Springfield to help her out, but she just used her AAA instead. Kicker is, she keeps a gas can in her trunk (guess it's empty).
  5. Wait, did I really just say this? :burn:
  6. If you've used the same bank for a while, I'd talk to them first. Don't try financing a $5k car at a dealership as most will probably try to gouge you on the rate since it'll most likely be secondary financing on that price range of a car. I only say this because for $5k, either the car will be a bit older and/or have a bit more mileage than most primary banks would offer top tier finance rates for. Your bank knows you, and your financial history with them. They know what you have coming in and going out every month. They may be more likely to do a "signature" type of loan with you. Just one suggestion. I'm sure you'll get more.
  7. My 19 yr old sister is going through this right now as well. She's had a decent '98 Neon for the last two years she bought from my girlfriend for under $2k and it's just now getting to the point where it's no longer a reliable car, but it served her very well for the last two years. She went with my parents and fell in love with an '04 RX-8 and had trouble understanding why she couldn't get approved for a $19k car when she's working, going to school full-time and has other money coming in from my step-father's military disability. It came down to lack of credit. She's now looking at $8-10k cars and is still kinda screwed because my parents don't have the best credit rating so they cannot co-sign for her. It would be better to take the money she has saved for her down-payment and use her car to trade for something around $4-6k and keep it for a few years and then upgrade once she's established more credit. I've tried to help her realize that she doesn't want to spend everything she makes on a car payment & insurance, but it's not sinking in. Buy something kinda middle of the road, drive it, pay it off, and upgrade later when your resources and budget aren't as limited would be my advice.
  8. Took two years to realize that? j/k
  9. Things to do today: First day with new car - check First kill on 270 - check Brag about it on CR in lame thread - check
  10. The "NOW" button is frightening.
  11. "As long as the issuer reports it".
  12. At that age, even with having a high credit rating, you may have trouble being financed. At that age, it's not as much that your score can affect your being able to get financed for certain things, it's the amount of credit history you have. At 19 when I financed my first car, I had over a 700 beacon score, but still required a co-signer because of the limited credit history I had.
