i dunno, a volvo or something, spend half of the remaining money on upgrading it so it'd be a sleeper, then the other half making it bulletproof, grenade resistant, etc.

Hummer or Hammer (not sure about the spelling), you know, that military jeep A. Schwarzenegger prefers. I seen on the road the other day. Uh oh, man, was I impressed! That sound of engine. Those weaklings driving their Mercedes and other junky crap wet their pants at once, heck, drool got out of my mouth and all over the suit, I'm still under the impression of that Divine Car.

Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6, the last RWD-only version. (Didn't say it had to be new.)

Once you get the expensive high performance car then you have to pay big bucks for insurance and upkeep. How much does it cost to get a new 911 serviced (tune up etc)?

ups

you don't have to have that done to it. They do sell them with that option already.

Yeah but you were given the money to buy a car. I would assume the money left over would be returned to the person who generously gave it to you in the first place. If that were the case it would really suck to be stuck with a used Honda when you could have gotten yourself something much nicer at no expence to yourself.

True. If I were given the $100,000 to spend solely on car and expenses, I'd probably get a new Accord with full options, then get a good car security package - what is it called, where it has the automatic fuel cutoff or something like that? Makes it virtually impossible to steal the car without towing it.


wow. thats just... sad.

a fully equipped accord is like 8k anyway LOL

I would track down my first car... a '92 Camry, and have it whipped up to shape with every possible option and all sorts of goodies, nice stereo et al.


It's a sentimental thing. I loved that car :(
