Default I officially suck

Well, I cant do it. I cant seem to save money while working part time and going to school. I've tried and tried and the only thing I've made it closer to my next insurance date.

Shirley wont run 12s anytime soon like I had hoped... in fact I am thinking about just taking off the mods, saving up, and buying a beater car and completely parking the GT for a while. This would allow me to go 6 months with no insurance killing, gas sucking, stupid loud machine that is messing my financial abilities up so much... and the sad thing is... I owe nothing on the car.

I guess I just suck at life.

Insurance is a nut buster on these cars. I have friends with DUI's paying less than I do! And I have a clean record! Thanks for reminding me to pay mine!

Remember when stang00 got the civic? he never mentioned insurance rates, because they are a bitch for us youngins! If you are under 25 and have a ***** they are going to rape you. Hard. In stang00's case, his rates are high because of his past experiences with the red and blue X_X

Lol, meanwhile 4 months ago i just bought a new, lower MPG, high insurance rates car... if another company could make acar that i would be satisfied with... i would, but they just dont. the 350Z is the closest thing to an alternative to a mustang in my mind as it gets... wish they would release a new 240sx... like the S15 (hey they look good by themselves, not need for an enormous c/f drift wing)
I refuse to buy a FWD car...

think about all of the people that pay out the *** for gas... all SUVs basically, insurance isnt cheap for anyone unless its a beater with liability only on it... I carry more people in my mustang on a daily basis (4/5 of the time i am with another person or two) than 75% of the SUVs i see on the road...

Yea, I'm not looking into an alternative mustang. Still want to remain a 2 door coupe preferrably and something somewhat sporty I guess.

Tay, I know this isnt what you wanna hear, but if you are in that situation, there is NO REASON to keep the car if you arent going to drive it. Is the car paid off? Or are you still paying on it. I know you dont wanna, but sell it if you have to. You can ALWAYS buy another one later when you are better off financially, but dont stress yourself trying to pay for a damn car. Its ONLY A CAR. LOL funny how people were all like :O when I said I was taking my car to stock to pay it off, now others are considering the same. I gotta tell you, its been nice being able to pay this thing down like this. And youd be surprised how fun a stock mustang really is, as long as you still have a catback and 3.73s.

Ya know if you knew what you were getting into when you bought it. Quit your whining about it and buck it up or sell the thing.

350Z?!?!?!?! PLEASE PLEASE don't go with a rice-burner. If you're looking for a sporty-car that isn't as bad on insurance, get a Fire-bird/Trans Am or a Grand Prix. The new Grand Prixs are pretty scchhhweeet.

I assume you've been beaten by one before Lance has already had an LS1, dont think he was too happy, as far as customizability, so thats out. Id kill for a G35.

I'm keeping the Stang probally but there is'nt one GM newer car that I would own besides a Vette right now.

I've had a couple of the LS1's and yes they were fun but customizing them to me is sooooooo limited look's wise.At least with a Mustang there are alot of way's to make it look the way you want and not like 100's of other GM car's.The 350Z is a damn nice car.I don't consider it Rice at all.But they are way overpriced for the model I would want.

I've considered a 03/04 Cobra alot but I only have 2 years left on my loan and just can't see me getting a used car that I would have for another 4 or 5 years that yes is awesome but still a Mustang and I can add a KB in the future and have a paid off car with alot of power

I'm just not sure at this point what my next Mod's are going to be and sometimes that makes me want something new.I thought about it alot today and ran alot of numbers through my head and keeping my car at this time seem's like the right thing to do.

As long as you're still keeping the stang all is good in my book, but I love both 240sx and the 350z's. They are so HOTTT. Heres some pics of my friends Darrens white 96 240sx se(AKA a the drifting machine), Seans green 95 240sx(this kid is one crazy drifting asian lol), and Brandons burnt orange 04 350z track edition. I LOVE the 350z, it handles so good and has a crap load of power. I want a 350z track in bright red or blue SOOOO BAD!!
