  • So I'm looking for a good first car.?

    Let me explain my situation( I don't want to sound like a DBag but I might, so sorry, haha.), I am 16, turning 17 in June, I have about $16k to spend on a first car( my

    Parents are putting in $8k combined with my own $8k to spend, making $16k), but the problem is that I have an uncle who is a racecar driver in Colorado, he has trained me to race in his 700 horsepower Corvette Z06, both on the track and on the road, so I know how to handle something fast. I have marrowed my search down to a few cars. An E46 BMW M3, a modded Nissan 240SX S14( although not preferred, simply because of te year, and some problems that are sure to come because of it), a Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 8 or 9, or a Dodge Charger SRT8 (06-10). I realize that the only one that will be anywhere near cheap to insure would be the 240SX, but like I said, that's not my preferred car, just because they're much older, and there will surely be some problems to come. But anyways, I work a lot during the week, so the insurance isn't that big of a deal, neither is the MPG, but one of my big concerns is the repairs, and how reliable they are, because I will drive whichever car I get on the streets as a daily driver, but also probably 8-10 times a year on the track, continuing my training with my uncle, and in the fall, the Bondurant school of high performance driving. I would imagine the BMW would be pretty reliable, but the repairs would surely be the death of me, being that it is a German car, so my 2 favorites would be the SRT8 and the EVO, the EVO would get better gas mileage for sure, and probably be more fun to drive. And much better on turns. Just give me some input. Thanks guys!!

  • What is the best first car for a 17 year old?

    Well I am 16 now but my parents have been generous enough to give me $12,000 to get my first car, and I want something somewhat fast, because my neighbor owns a Ferrari 360 Modena and takes it to the track all the time and has invited me to come along. I have driven the Ferrari around the track on multiple occasions and want my own car to take. I am not gonna be an idiot and do something stupid and kill myself. ( speed, race on the roads, try to drift) I have narrowed my search to a few cars. A 1997 Nissan 240SX S14.5( lightly modded to around 250-300 horsepower), a 2004 Pontiac GTO LS2, a 2007 Dodge Charger R/T Daytona, a 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX, a 2000 Jeep Wrangler, or a 2004 Volkswagen Touareg V8, I know the Jeep and Touareg aren't fast but I like them alot. Anyways, I live in Tulsa Oklahoma but there are some racetracks around the state within driving distance. By the way, unless I get the Touareg or Jeep I'll be getting a manual. And gas is sort of an issue but nothing I can't deal with, I have a job so I can pay for gas. But it will get driven alot.

    Thanks!

  • Which is the better first car?

    Well my parents have been generous enough to buy me a car, I have a budget of $12,000 and I have come down to 2 cars. A 1997 Nissan 240SX S14.5( which means it has an S15 front end) and a 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX( not an STI, just a WRX). Which would be better? I like the Nissan alot for the looks and MPG, but I like the Subaru because it is 4 wheel drive and made for performance. Thanks!

  • What were some of SEAL team 6's missions in the 90's?

    I know a guy who was a member of SEAL team 6 in the 90's and I'd like to know what all he and his team accomplished while he was a part of it. I know alot about what they have done recently( killing Bin Laden and the Somali pirate incident a few years ago) but nothing in the 90's.

    And DO NOT tell me that I don't know a Mavy SEAL because you are not me, you are not him. You have no business telling me what I do or don't know.

    Thanks.

  • Is a Volkswagen Touareg a good first car?

    My parents have been generous enough to buy me a car, they said that they will spend no more than $14,000. That being said, I have been looking at Pontiac GTO's, Dodge Chargers, Subaru Impreza's and Toyota Supras. But I have always liked the Volkswagen Touaregs and think that they would be a good first car. I drive about 150 miles a day for school and work, and I think that they might be a good driver car. Thanks!

  • Is this a good workout schedule for my size and age?

    I'm 16, I am 5'10" and weigh 240, idk how I weigh 240 because I look like a weigh 200( Any ideas as to why?). But I weighed 160 and was ripped as hell when I was 14. So my plan Is to go to a gym every other day for 2 hours and eating more healthy foods, I've heard that poultry is good to eat when trying to lose weight and work out, but drink more water, less pop, instead of snacking on regular snack foods such as fruit flavored gummies or reheated pizza, I will be eating fruit and green beans. What do you think of this? I plan on doing this until I graduate, I am a Junior now, and after I graduate to go onto college ad work out 1 1/2 hours daily in hope of becoming a Navy SEAL. Thanks guys!

  • What all will I need to do to lose weight?

    So in my family we all have weight problems, but I want to go to the Navy and hopefully be a SEAL. And I CAN NOT even hope to do that in the shape I am in now. I am 16 years old, I'm about 5'10" and weigh 240+\-. My plan is to work out 2 hours a day every other day until I weigh about 180, I will also be going on a diet. But I have no idea where to even begin when it comes to a diet. I used to be in the best shape ever when I was about 14, because I worked out a lot, but then I quit and gained 80 pounds in 1 1/2 years. So can you please help me? What are some healthy foods? Do those pills that make you not hungry work? Thanks guys!

  • How much would a deuce and a half cost?

    Well we are very big into airsoft/military simulation, and we( my team and I) are wanting to add a deuce and a half to our collection. We already have a 1943 Jeep Willys and a UH-1Y Huey and we are wanting a deuce to transport all of our gear and use in game. So how much would a good used one cost?

  • Would a Dodge Ram SRT10 be a good first car?

    My parents have been saving $20 a week my entire life so that I can have a good first car. So I have about $16,000 to spend. I am looking at a Ram SRT 10 because I like the fact that is is a unique truck, not like every other run off the mill Chevy or ford. I imagine that the insurance will be high but I have a pretty well paying job( as far as a good job is in highschool, I earn around $12 an hour, and I work every day except weekends and Fridays) so the insurance will not be that much of a big deal, unless it is like $800 a month. But how loud is the exhaust? I live in a high class neighborhood and I don't want to disturb my neighbors. Is the ride ok? What kind of MPG should I expect? How touchy are the throttle and brakes? Are there any known problems? Don't tell me that rams are crap because we have had 4 of them in the past 16 years and haven't had a single problem with any of them. They say the transmission feels like it will shatter when shifting, because of the horsepower and torque. Is this true? Thanks!!!

    PS I forgot to mention I won't be speeding because the truck just won't be able to handle the crappy roads around here at speed. I would take it to a racetrack about 30 miles away. Sure I might spin the wheels in the school parking lot a bit, but I'm not an idiot.

  • How can I shrink my legs, hips and butt?

    I am a 16 year old male, and my family genes give me very large legs, hips and butt. But I am extremely tired of it. It's very unattractive, too. I play the drums for about an hour every day, but that doesn't help a thing. I have heard that 30 squats a day can help a lot. But I do them too, and have had no results. I am not looking to tone them, but just make them smaller. And I don't eat much, maybe 1700 calories a day. I drop about 1 pound per week on average. I weigh about 240 and am 5'10" but my weight is centered In my lower body so I don't look like I weigh 240, maybe 200, but Like i said i am dropping about 1 pound per week just from cutting back on eating. Thanks guys!
