Sounds like you need a thinner g/f :wink:

You get a red light ticket or speed ticket?


shes more athletic than any of us on here, shes as skinny as you can get haha 8)

she just likes sitting up high, the solara has plenty of room, its just too low for her, she drives an F150, and her family has never had anything but trucks as she has 9 siblings, so cars dont work out too well.

and no i dont have ANY tickets, but i have been pulled over for speeding and running a stop sign... i was let off with a warning 8)

how about you get a gen1 solara, drop a supercharger in there (since your budget is 25k)
and do the rest of the good stuff.

^ ill either tell my mom im buying it, or im gonna buy my uncles wrangler.... so either way im doing it with family permission, but im 18, so i could go get a loan on my own.

Hes becoming very controlling recently, it used to be a rule that if i went out of state i have to pay for college, now its if i dont get into a specific school (UCF) then i have to pay.... now im purposely going to go to another school, ive got a scolarship for the school my gf is going to.... now i dont have to worry about a long distance relationship!!

Go for the high-grade out of state schools, UCF is not all that and a bag of chips. Usually people who go out of state for schooling are on scholarship programs.


My dad's friend is ultra-conservative but he and his wife let their daughter go to Georgia Tech on a scholarship and got her bachelors in 4 years in Civil Engineering. Scholarships kick ass.

You could just buy your uncle's wrangler, is it a 2008 model?

So if you buy your uncle's Wrangler, are you gonna have him ship the car to you or drive down to FL?

Are you sure you want to go through with this and buy that 4x4?

I know this sounds odd coming from a guy who likes to buy aftermarket parts and go drag racing often on the weekends, but you have 2 SUVs to drive right now and the money that you want spend on that 4x4 would be better off allocated to college funds.

Unless you want to go hardcore off roading in the snow or dirt or rocks, it is not really necessary to have a 4x4, my old Honda Civic did fine in the snowy weather in NY.

Back a few months ago; I wanted to buy a fox body mustang with the 5.0 V8 with My money, but I was later against the idea due to the extreme high insurance costs and other added costs.
