Gotta stay off craigslist my man ;)

That will be a tough one...

Might I suggest a used Miata. Lots of tinkering and some serious go-fast potential. www.flyinmiata.com. Welcome to another cool money-suck.

I thought your daily trips to salvation army were already to save money...

Hmm, used miatas can be really cheap. Though rwd is not best for snowy ny....

There are some who'll say a set of Blizzaks will sort that out.

My parents dont approve of rwd, though I suppose if I am buying the car they don't have much of a say. They do pay for college and food and stuff though. I guess I only have 2 more years of college, and don't even have the money now, so may make more sense to buy a car after college, do have a working one now.

Miatas are great as a secondary car. I got a '99 with a supercharger installed and only 100k miles for $4k. It's definitely needed some work and TLC, since this was sort of beat up, but it's been a blast!

That's what I was thinking, but can't really have 2 cars while living on campus. Parking pass is $400, not about to get two, if you're ever allowed to.

Get your fur coat fixed, wear 3 watches on each wrist, and THIS has your name written all over it... https://tinyurl.com/y55xawcp

Sadly I got rid of my fur coat. Also, I would rather get a rolls Royce over a Bentley, especially with the Chrysler 300 ripping off the Bentley design. Or get a pimped out 80s Cadillac....

Subaru Impreza (Edit: Oh wait you want to get rid of you, peeezzzzzz wait until you get older, you want to get the Impreza Hatchback!!!)

My Impreza hatchback is a nice, practical car, I'll give it that. But it is boring. 148hp, cvt transmission. Wrx hatchback would be more fun.

I have filled my Impreza with stuff, had couch on roof, 84" tv on roof, has been useful

Then get an used WRX Hatchback. When you are young most of the time you want a fun car, now I'm older I want an Outback to haul ass.

Combine your love of Craigslist and cars:

I think my plan is this: Keep my impreza, eventually next year or the year after, get and additional car for fun. Impreza is realiable, 4wd, practical, and has only 18000 miles. But its boring.

Do you want a car note?

Car note?

Car loan.

In a few years of saving I should be able to get a decent car without having to deal with interest and such on a loan.

Yep, then again fun cars are $$$$. Then again, I like to be the boring soon to be 30 year old. You'll be the guy who said get off my lawn soon enough. :)
