Fire Bird: '97, Green 74000 miles. clean, $6000 very nice
Camaro: '00, Black, 50000 miles, Fine, $10000 Leather seats power everything, T-top
This could be temptation to buy something i dont need and for the wrong motives

Buy a honda civic or Geo Metro..... you will save a lot of money on gas and you won't have to worry that you bought a sports car for the wrong reason.

That's right, Tyler, a chevette would be a great idea! Either that, or a Yugo (remember that one?). You don't have far to reach to roll down the window. Ryan, you may be tempting fate again by causing God to remind you not to idolize material things. You may want to get that moped from James. It may be in great shape by the time they get here tomorrow night.

I think you guys missed the point. Ive looked all over Baton rouge and Denham Springs for a car or truck that i like and can afford. Ive only found these two that i like. i dont like hondas I dont want anything with less than 6 cylinders. i want something with a little style. For those of us who dont have the great sense of humor and good looks, im grabbin at straws here i need a nice car;) (is that the wrong reason) I would like a silverado step side but i cant find any or another grand prix, but cant find one within my price range. I test drove an '04 yesterday man that thing was fine, but expensive. Its ok to have nice things and a nice car. But when you put too much value in it then its a problem. I thought it over the rest of the day and i think im gonna go with the fire bird if either I can modify the firebird to have a t-top later ;D

We were displaying a sense of humor. Sorry you missed it. I think you ought to get a Ferrari. That will be the only way you can beat me in anything. (sense of humor) Seriously, check the News on Wheels. I am sure they will have what you are looking for. You may want to find a Firebird already equipped with T-tops. They will be less likely to leak on you later. Check the outlying areas for one. Try not to limit your search to a single area. Impressing a lady by getting something cool and being a gas guzzler may be compromising reliability. It would not be nice to be on a date and your 6 cylinder, or above, breaks down and leaves you stranded. (Well, that may be a good thing) I have a 95 GMC 1500 for sale if you would like it. It, too, is very clean. I'll keep my eye open for that Ferrari...

Ryan, Yes, it is OK to have a nice car if you can afford it. Just makes me wonder sometimes when I see guys driving very nice cars and they live in an apt. Come to WA and you can try out my Porsche, few things more fun than going 160mph.

;D Im on my way You right and i agree 100% Id much rather buy a cheap car with low notes if any and lowr my insurance, and invest in a home that i can either live in or rent out. BTW today i test drove a Z28 5.7 Camaro I havent driving a car with that much power that was awesome They only want $6500 for it But i think im going to get even lower and go with a blazer for 4500 i dont know this is such a tough decision

Well i bought 2005 Chevrolet Colorado Ext Cab.
It has an Inline 5 Cylinder with 220 Hp
and 4 doors
drove it off the lot with 60 miles on it ;D
Way better than a camaro firebird or a blazer.
I found out that a car just isnt me. I gotta have a truck. As much as i loved my car. Just really wasnt my personality

Sorry ryan to finish off the sentence why but a 6-10 grand crapty used car from late 1990's when you could buy a luxury lexus' for the same price fr the mid 90's, i guess what i'm saying is you have a chance to but quality luxury car that might be a fewyears younger for the same price you wanna pay for just an average vehichle.
