I want one, I think i'm getting one..

 

[yakko]

You can't have one until your grades are better.

 

[urbantechie]

Oh they are!! Once I get my report card i'll post them. I'm only failing Spanish 2 and I suppose EVERYONE knows that!

 

[Pretender]

Uh, sure. And I'm getting a P4 1.5 Ghz w/512 MB RAM for my birthday.

 

[urbantechie]

Uhh you know how much they cost? Not alot...

 

[urbantechie]

<< w/512 MB RAM >>



Thats not expensive. According to distribitors(sp), prices are on the way up.

 

[luckydragon]

[urbantechie]

<< urbantechie your happy that your only failing one class? lol >>


Well not really. I'm pissed I didn't drop it because now it's going to bring my GPA down. I have a 14% in that class. Lovely and dandy don't you think?

 

[StageLeft]

So if your grades are good your parents by you a coffin on wheels? How old are you!

 

[Taz4158]

Your dad musn't know about the fact that you smoke, drink and do drugs at age 15 if he plans on buying a car for you eh?

I don't smoke. I drink on occasion. I'm not some druggie or sh!t like I bet half the AT population here thinks I am. He wants to buy it for me but I have to pay some of it too since I have a job.

 

[urbantechie]

BTW, Blue Book says $11K for this Porsche.

 

[MajesticMoose]

I hope you're rich enough to be ablew to afford the 8k a year insurance. is that car all wheel drive? got the stats for us?

m00se

 

[Pretender]

I'm jealous, I hate to admit it (I WANT A CAR, DAMN YOU!). Some parents are nicer than others though, some will spoil children despite their academics, others wouldn't lend them $20 even if they got straight A's. I'm not saying you're being spoiled, but just be thankful.

 

[SuperGroove]

Urban,

What about repair costs? For 11K, you're not going to get a pristine 944 Turbo S. Fixing one up is definitely not going to be cheap either. One owner compared his 944 costs to his G60 Corrado. His 944 Barely nudged out the G60 for yearly costs. $5K, to $4.8K. Lots of moola, dood. G60 Corrados are extremely cheap...and by going turbo, I eliminate the most problematic part of the G60 and I can get the car into the 300HP+ range.


WEE!!

Acutally, my dad will be driving this car as well. Right now we have a 83 Camry, 88 Caravan and a 87 Oldsmobile. My older sister since she just got out of school is buying a 2001 Integra LS and i've always liked cars since I was little so no matter what im buying a car that I want. Anyways, i'll have to help my dad buy a newer car since a van with 400K on it is bound to break down right? So I don't think i'm spoiled. I'M paying for it, not my parent's If I can't afford it, too bad for me.

[Deicide]

I'd rather have a 928 S4. Its V8 would rape the 944.. Only thing I don't like is its looks, it doesn't look like a real porsche.

 

[urbantechie]

Thanks SG!

Oh yea, ABS brakes and Dual-Airbags.
