I'm going to buy a Toyota Celica GTS for my 25th birthday. Six speed manual transmission.

GTS? Go for the All-Trac, you get 4WD and Turbo...

There's an All-Trac Celica?

No, I've got 4WD with my Jeep. I want something fast and air-conditioned.

For some reason, 20-somethings talking about fictional starships on the internet is much cooler that 20-somethings talking about penis-substitute cars on the internet.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Not substitutes. Extensions

While we're at it: I just got my license! Whoohoo, and all that. All pedestrians within 200 miles to Red Alert status!

Now, all I have to do is land myself an at least half-decent hotrod, which is no small task...

Congrats.

Liam, I think you're just jealous of people with more disposable income

Actually, what that amounts to for me is more financial control. Need to pay off the credit cards, and be consistent in deposits to my savings account. I drew up some rough figures, and I can have three of my cards paid off by this time next year and still have $1800 in the bank. Since I'll be down to one credit card next August or September, I can boost the amount of $$$ to my savings' account and have a rather nice down payment saved up for my 25th birthday: which will, also, completely and entirely coincidental, coincide with the traditional drop in insurance that comes with the marking of a quarter-century spent alive.

And since my record is very clean insurance wise, I'll get a big cut (as it is, I pay $150 for my Jeep, with no reported claims on it).

And then comes spectra blue mica, 6-speed, 180 horsepower at $320 a month for 72 months (assuming I put a $7k downpayment on it).

Speaking of which, I've just learned your friend and mine, Fabrux, has just placed a down-payment on an '88 Ford Ranger. Congrats! Try not to wreck this one, okay?

Well, I'll, uh, try not to wreck it. I've become a more careful driver after the accident.

I would certainly hope so. Then again, most drivers I know (even young ones) know not to accelerate in bad weather on a tight curve.

A Corvette? Are you insane? The poor weather handling sucks, there's zero visiblity ...

Bad choice on cars, dude. If you get one, at least get a stick shift.

Hey! It wasn't bad weather. It was a clear, sunny day. And I didn't accelerate. I was going that fast on the road.
