called to get an insurance quote on it today. you wont belive this. If I was rated as the primary driver with my ohio record instead of my Illinois clean record it would be 1800.49 every 6 months. BUT since I am rated on my dads bravada It drops it down to only $580.00 every 6 months for FULL coverage. this is of course with all my parents discounts. I just told my dad about the insurance quote and I am thinking this is a done deal. My mom got the title out today for my dad to sign it so we can get rid of it and get the Trans Am.
I am going out and find myself a job so I can pay my parents back. but not bad...getting a Trans Am for 5 grand with a trade.

well the Trans am I was looking at is out. My dad said too many miles and are currently looking for a new one. one with around 50-70 thou miles, or a new new car. My dad and I are having a chat about a new GTO, since it is around his price that he is willing to spend for a new car. Or a trans am with less miles on it. looked up a vin check on the one I was loking at..had 17 things on it. I then looked up my grand prix's and it had 11 things on it...so the Trans am was worse shape as my Grand Prix.

My parents hate imports, because they want to support american cars/America. They dont want to drive Jap crap. The only problem with this car was that I bought it off a teenager who trashed the hell out of it beforeI got it. There is nothing wrong with Domestic!!! I love american muscle,and I like some imports..they are fun to beet up on. but, I love american cars better as well. Hell give me a Japenese car that can beet up on American V8's stock. Dont say the Supra cuz Ben and I have seen an aftermarket supra vs and basically bone stock camaro SS, and guess what up to 160 the SS beat the shit outta the supra on 270. I like American cars better than jap cars anyday of the week. dont get me wrong imports can be nice, but they are not the car for me. I dont like it when people dis domestics. This one was just beet to shit then I got it and well tried to fix it by sinking over 16g into it just rebuilding it and it still wants to die. thats when you just get on another one. or like ben said. a new one. I am all for domestics. Imports dont last forever. I have plenty of friends who want to get rid of them because they have a nothing but problems with them. Dont give me this shit. They are not sacred cars. to me..they look good from the rear view mirror

My parents will ALWAYS HATE imports. the only import which they will buy is a german car...not a Jetta which is made in mexico...one that is literally made in Germany.

k, calm down charlie...if you match any domestic 4 against a jap (...made in marysville ohio...in america...by americans...that use plans drawn in japan...) and the honda, mitsu, nissan would win...yeah, if you match a fucking 1.6-2.2 litre against a fucking ls1 the ls1's gonna win, but for more than double the fucking engine, i think that domestics would put up more of a fight...and hat ss wasnt bone stock...you remember hearing it? i would like to see this tho...new accord v6 6sp, vs a v6 domestic, i put my money on accord all day... and besides, who all do you know with a new import (97 and up) with any problems that have not been hard to fix? i only see a couple come into our shop, that are dogged to shitwith like 190k on the original engine and are only like 4 yrs old, those damn somalian travelling salesmen... but other than that, how many domestics live that long to begin with? yeah your bravada for one...but it is about to take a shit anyways... i have seen 80's hondas rack up 300+K miles and still run perfect...it all depends on how you take care of the car...and do domestics give you a brand new car when you reach 300K...i dont think so (honda does this, then takes the old car, and strips it down and finds out how it lasted that long...they then improve upon new cars with this knowledge) imports are high tech...domestics are stuck in their ways, and do not feel they need to change anything cause things have been fine, and they have been fine, until the thing hits 150K and takes a shit, then the person who has had the domestics all their lives, go and buy a domestic cause they think 150k is good mileage out of a car....then the shit cycle starts all over again....sorry to diss domestics but you have to admit its true, if im buying a new car, and see a honda, toyota, mitsubitchy, or nissan with 120k on it, i buy it cause i know its just gettin broken in...if i see a domestic with that many, im iffy, cause they arent known to last very much longer...how many domestics have 10year 100000 mile warranties? most are like 3 year 30000 miles...anyways im going off on a long debated subject... i dont wanna get involved...i will just let time take its toll, and all that jazz....sorry if this upsets any memebers of my crew, but its all just my opinion...sorry for making you read all this badmouthing jake, but o well, dont take it personally...lataz B

yeah, i love american muscle too, american muscle went by about 10-15 years ago tho, anything 50's thru like 85 was muscle, after that gm and ford took the shit path and things have gone down from there, yeah they did make some nice transams and vettes, but the days of everything muscle are gone muscle was when you took the biggest fucking hunk of solid engine you could make and stick it in a fast looking car...sucking gas, and spittin speed... when you could tap the gas pedal and spin tires like nothing, my caddy was enough muscle for me...all 8.2 litres of it... a little 5.o mustang or a little lt1 or 3100 aint no damn muscle in my book... its true, they dont build them like they used to...sorry to dissapoint or offend ya buddy, but lets still be freinds...B

"imports are high tech...domestics are stuck in their ways" compare a 1974 350 4 bolt to a new LS2. GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK!!!! Domestics arent high tech? the fucking LS1 and LS2, and even the LS6 are the most computer controled engines in the USA. These engines dont even fucking compare to the old engines from years past. Dont tell me that domestics arent high tech. I think you have honda on your bran because you work on them all day. I dont want to argue with you at all over this. just compare these motors and tell me GM hasnt changed its ways. these engines are more advanced. you havent heard of any imports breaking down 97- current. well what about yours? Where has all your money gone? into your car fixing it. look at my bravada man. it has over 238,000 and it is still running like a champ. it burns a little oil on startup but it turns over on first turn. Hell it even pulled a stump out of Gavins back yard without a problem. If I had the chance I would keep it till it dies. Yes that camaro was bone stock, with JUST an exhaust. that Supra wasnt stock either. American muscle is still amreican muscle. Give me a V8 anyday of the fricken week. you know what. I'd like to see the V6 accord against the Srt-4. that would be interesting. guess who would win...the SRT. this is an ongoing arguement that I DONT want to get into. this gets on each other nervs. Hell....that Accord against the GTP on your dads lot. I'd love to see that. I'm done. American made is American made.

jeez, i dont wanna have to put you in your place...but how much does an ls6 cost? how much is honda? and v6 accord vs a turboed car aint right anyways, srt4 vs a turboed s2000? i bet s2000, and besides, i did sink money into my car...remember the pop can and that whole ditch thing was what fucked up my car, not the daily driving shit... but as soon as its fixed i will run for another 150k no sweat...your hooters pics are at wook in my box, i will scan them mon night...you need to send me some of erics tho, wanna see the night ones cause mine didnt turn out for shit...
