Default Happily Lost!!!

Ok So I landed myself a new job, and I just got my last settlement check, + I just files my taxes. All together Im getting around $2500. I have 3k saved and with this new job, I make money hand over fist, About $500 a week for nothing. So my problem is,....

WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH ALL MY MONEY!!!
I have a 94, Delsol SI at the current moment
I also have to mention that I have a REALLY bad driving history and probably will be losing my DL with a month...for 3 months

You suck at driving enough to lose your licence, eh? I think you should put that money towards driving school and an Oldsmobile Delta 88 so you aren't inclined to inflict your bad driving on the public.

first and foremost, driving school, then see what you like. I don't know if it is the best thing for you to get another car.

Funny $hit

Just save the $$ until you find out what is happening with the DL.
I say go for C1 or C5 and get a hatch

people think that NA is more reliable, but thats not really the case. when you mod for NA, theres one part then you need another to complete that, but then your compression is too high so you have to buy more parts but dont get it so low that you lose low end. Turbo is worth it, if you get it tuned right. overall turbo CAN be much cheaper, but its all basically on personal pref.

You do realize that you should be out at the Bonneville salt flats if your car goes 178, cuz in a Honda, you'd be competitive out there. By the way, if you were really going that fast, you would be in jail right now....not about to lose your license in a month.

I believe he said he was on a motorcycle, not in his Sol.

I didnt go to jail because I was smart. I had a water bottle on me, and when the FEMALE officer went to her car, I filled my mouth with water, then spit it back out and acted like I was sick. She ran back to me and asked me if I was Ok. She felt so bad for me, she let me go with a speeding ticket of 25 over.
I LOVE FEMALE COPS!!
