My first car will be a 1975 Monte Carlo, very good condition with only 57,000 miles on it. It has been in my family since it was bought. It will become mine if I can get the job I am applying for tomorrow so I can pay the insurance on it.:)

Edit:

Oh yeah, just gotta love the 8 track deck!

Once I start to manage one of my dad's stores, I'll be able to afford two cars, I'm gonna keep my '00 Civic, and get my dream car: 1994 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo, 6 speed, targa top.

1. Why in the hell do you need a V-10?
2. Why in the double hell do you need one with 3 tv's?

I don't want a V-10. It's overkill unless you are going to be doing a lot of towing.

3 kids=3 tv's. That I can understand.
