Get a part time job, get 5-6K and buy an SRT-4. Fastest thing you can get for that much

You've just described me but it's an '04. I need to find a job for the summer at least. On a semi related note what's the etiquette for taking a job knowing you're gonna be leaving the country for 10 days during the summer?

It always gets worse.

enjoy it. I remember i wanted some sick car when i was younger looking at cars for the first time

What i got instead was a 1991 Subaru Liberty. I hated that thing and couldn't stand driving it thought it was the lamest cuckbox ever. After a while, i got a pizza delivery job and thats when i learnt how fun it really was. It was decently quick, handled well and was the perfect size. I wish i didn't get rid of it

I became quite attached to that car, thinking about selling my currently daily to go back to the fun days of rallying country roads

Git gud

>>17001136
>Does anyone in /o/ share this feel?
Nope, just took a new job making 105k a year (in the midwest lel) and I'm planning on getting a GTR.

I do not know that feel

>spending 100k on a car
I didn't say I wasn't a massive fucking faggot did I? I'm half yuropoor

>>17002683
>live in police state
>drive used police interceptors
There's never a shortage of wrecked cruisers to pull parts from, and they're basically designed to be quickly repaired from my curb-hoping power-sliding asshole driving style.

>>17003988
how do you go to uni without your own car??
most of my friends and me we all went straight to work even though our teachers told us it was a bad idea since we had good grades but good grades doesnt pay for transport or food or dorm while youre there

Get a job and pick up an 80s/90s shitbox op. If you do your research and shopping right you can pick up something cheap that'll be fun and cost next to nothing in further investments if you can work on it yourself

>>17004010
Same here,
I landed an 85k job, but I got a corvette z06 because they're so cheap

>>17005255
That's the plan

>>17003988
>spend all money on shitty woman
>don't even prioritize a car during this time

buddy...

>>17001136
I bought my own '08 shitbox OP, I know that feel. It's not a bad car at all, just not fun and since I'm a student I can't afford anything more fun at the moment.

>>17002695
dont tell them until you're hired. Say it's for family. If they dont let you take it, quit. If they let you take it, good on you.

>>17001239
>SRT-4
Trying to kill our fellow board contributors is not a kind thing to do.

>>17001136
>'08, unlikable, boring, slow
Sounds like my Corolla.
It's also fucking bulletproof and while I have to trade it in soon (I rode it a bit too hard) if it could keep going I would be still driving it.

Note: learn to drive slow car fast.
Just don't wreck it.

>>17002701
Graduating soon and have job lined up;
I already have a cool car though.

I want a sedan though. I have decided to get a Lincoln Continental. Looks C O M F Y

>>17007467
Yea if you find anything from 08 to be a shit box the neon is not for you despite the 4G63.

>>17007637
You could give OP the benefit of the doubt, though. It could be a stripper Versa.
>What is air conditioner?
>What are power windows?

Or Dodge Caliber. Whatever.

Lol is the caliber what was the next srt-4? I had an 07 ms3 at the time and we were ways all watching what the cobalt and srts were doing. To be honest I have some respect for the neon cause apparently they were great for fwd club racing I just heard the interiors were the squekiest rattliest cheap material.

>>17001136
I was in your boat a year and a half ago. I ended up dropping out and getting a trade apprenticeship that forced me to get a car. You're gonna make it, bro.

I almost feel bad for you, don't worry though absolutely no way you won't be under or unemployed when your done

>>17008944

Don't be afraid to take a road trip, I took a bus to buy a $1000 car 8 hours away from me and the trip back was pretty comfy
