cuz i payed for my own car and insurance, gas and everything else u can think off. Im only a junior in high school with a $9 an hour weekend job. I dont really want to be stuck in payments till im 30 years old so i got a civic. It does seem weird tho, my dads got a 5 series, my mums got a 3 series and my older brother has a 97 GTI VR6. Dont worry when my civic gets its new engine. it will smoke em all!

everyone at clubwrx.net has cheap insurance. everyoen is insrured under a 2.5 rs cuz the wrx isnt on the comps at insrunce co.'s. and civics are more prone to getting jacked than subarus


why did u buy the bimmers in germany?

lucky bastards.. We bought the BMW's in germany becuause if you buy it there, go there and pick it up, its alot cheaper! Plus u can make a vacation out of it and drive on the autobahn.

righton! That car is going to be sick quickly.. With the payments gone and a new motor under the hood, all thats left is the little stuff like the door, fender and qtr.. The struts, springs, wheels, tires, brakes.. all the little stuff should come easily if you take what you were making on payments and put it towards mods.
