I need a new car Options

[Oasis]

My fucking fuel pump just went out on my truck which pissed another $300+ down the drain. Not to mention I'm spending nearly $25 a day in gas, which is seriously cutting in to my beer fund.

I need a new automobile.

My truck has a KBB value of around $13k, minus probably $1k to fix the various dents from drunk assholes hitting my truck in lubbock. I can probably come up with $15k cash, putting me around $27k. If I took out a loan for the rest, I'd like to keep it under $8k because I don't need any more monthly payments to worry about.

So yeah, I'm looking at a car between $27k-$35k. Recommend some shit, cause I haven't picked up a Car & Driver in years. Three prerequisites

1. Needs to look somewhat sporty or cool
2. Needs to get at least 20 city/25 highway
3. No fucking hybrids
4. No fucking trucks. I rarely agree with Dogmeat about anything, but he's right that trucks are useless unless you need them in the field. I'll be buying a Mule to keep in Giddings for field use.

Make that four prerequisites

Two cars I've been looking at are the Saturn Sky and a used BMW 330i.


I think these look pretty fucking cool. I can get one with 250 hp and an aftermarket turbo for around $30k I think. I'd only get one if they're made with a hard top or there's a decent looking aftermarket hardtop. I hate convertibles.


My friend just bought a used (30k miles) 2006 BMW 330i for around $29k. 2006 is pretty recent, still had a 100k mile warranty from BMW, and come on....it's a fucking bimmer. A year ago if I said I'd own a BMW in the next 12 months you'd ask me what I was smoking and laugh at me. Now I can probably pull it off

My other options in that range would be a 1998 Supra 15th anniversary twin turbo (dream car), or an early 70's muscle car. Neither are that practical when it comes to repairs or getting assraped on insurance

Recommend something else if you know something in that price range.

And no fucking Saabs, Lance

But you ARE buying the first dreamcar that comes to mind.

Liability only is stupid, you're going to be stuck with a massive repair bill when some dipshit rear ends you.

You won't stop drinking, maybe for a few months, but you'll be back to your old ways once the novelty wears off.

You're trying to rationalize your idiotic idea of buying an expensive car you can't afford.

Mark my words, If you buy an expensive car like an NSX, you will end up working at the food king trying to pay off a stack of bills a mile high.

Good luck with your purchase though.

No, I'm not. My dream car is a 1987 Buick GNX with 147 original miles on it. Sold on ebay in 2000 for $48k. Just recently sold again on ebay for $79k. Unfortunately, my dad didn't listen to me when I told him it was a sound investment. This is one of my dream cars, and a black '99 with 40k miles on it happens to be for sale and I know the owner.

Not if they have insurance. Seriously, people always talk about the risk of getting hit by someone with no insurance, but has it ever happened to you or anyone you know? I've never heard of anyone I know having that problem. The odds of it happening are extremely remote at best. And as already stated, if it happens I'll be in jail cause I'll kill the motherfucker

You won't stop drinking, maybe for a few months, but you'll be back to your old ways once the novelty wears off.

Yeah, I can and I will. But thanks for thinking you personally know me or anything about me to make an assessment about what I'm capable or not capable of

You're trying to rationalize your idiotic idea of buying an expensive car you can't afford.

I already said I can afford it to the extent I'll be able to buy it outright with cash and drive away owing no money to anyone. I've said this now three times. Are you not reading what I'm writing or are you just a dumbass?

Mark my words, If you buy an expensive car like an NSX, you will end up working at the food king trying to pay off a stack of bills a mile high.

I'll go ahead and quote this so when/if I do buy it, I can come back next year and call you out for being wrong.

Good luck with your purchase though.

Thank you. Now go back to bragging about hitting on middle aged women on the internet and doing other jew things
