    I frequently wish I could get a new car but after looking at a lot of vehicles I have come to a cold hard fact; that none of them appeal to me and what I would really love to do is finally finish my mave but make it a kick a$$ car. I just can't bring myself to buy another car cause basically I'm stuck on having a grabber that looks stock but with aftermarket stock looking wheels and dogdish hubcaps and making one mean sleeper. I just have to do it.

    yea i think new cars are way over priced. what 15 grand could get you at the new/used car lot is nothing compared to what 15 could get you in the world of classic cars. i wouldnt mind having an economical 4cyl import thats easy at the pump but i just have to work with wat ive got i guess

    without Comet now just keeping in touch
    It doesn't have to be an import to have an economical Car, Bought my '06 Focus new 36k only wrench ever on it was for oil changes! going strong, good on gas, and lots of fun, and 16 valve on the base engine.. good power for 4 banger, sometimes wish I had no car payment so i could get the Comet restored, but.. having a warranty is nice too!
