1998 Pontaic Grand Prix GTP - 3.8L V6 Supercharged w/ Eaton M90 (stock blower) on a 3.5" pulley. CAI in progress. 169,850 Miles. Great car. Fast, comfy, and has a nice back seat.
My brother has a ranger right now - saving for his Evo VIII. It's okay. He tore the front bumper off offroading, since it's raised, but oh well.

What do you think would be a decent (but cheap, VERY VERY cheap) first car? It doesn't need to be "fast," but it shouldn't look like my mom's van.
I was looking at 1994-9 Honda's, they seem to run forever. You see so many of them. I wouldn't put stupid bumpers and 3 foot spoilers on it either, I would probably get turbo. Price range is $0 to $4,500. (Used obviously) Any ideas?

I have a 1991 Honda Accord EX 5 speed with 180,000 miles... doesn't leak or burn oil... AC blows cold... gets 28mpg... and cost 3 grand... she's a good car.
My baby though is a 1971 Chevy Nova, cherry red with the original (but rebuilt) 307. TH350, and the stock rear end. I'm slowly doing more and more to her. The latest was an all around disk brake upgrade setup which helped a lot hah.

Yeah, no one can say that Honda's aren't well made. My dad has this friend at work that can tell you what goes wrong with cars at certain mileages. He used this knowledge to buy a Toyota Corolla (unsure of year, but mileage was over 300,000) for about 1000 USD that needed nothing more than a battery.
I will definitely tell my dad to talk to this man about Honda's, preferably the Civic. And wow, that Nova sounds awesome! Hopefully I'll have a dream car one day too.

had a 1995 volvo 850T (73K) and a 2001 boxster s (30K); the TurboBrick, which i insist was cursed, "went to be with Jesus" the week before this past Christmas. My new residence is in the sticks, and boxy was being torn to pieces by my terrible road (gas well trucks), so i dumped it as well, and christmas eve i bought a 300 (Touring). I suppose until I move (or the gas production stops) I'll be driving disposable cars. 18-24" deep potholes suck, and not in a good way.

I daily drive a 1997 Miata. British racing green with a tan top and interior.
When I feel like being an ass I've got a 1995 Ducati 900 SS/CR with an airbox, jetkit, and pipes. Here's a review of the version with more tupperware: http://www.latexnet.org/~csmith/sausage.html
Todd, if you don't need to be able to carry 4 people a miata would probably be a great choice. they're cheap (a clean early one can be had for $2000-4000) bulletproof (easily go 250k+ miles) and painfully easy to work on. (I've torn my engine half way down to do a timing belt and waterpump with no real prior experience) Plus, it's a legitimate RWD sports car, not a wrong-wheel drive econobox.

but, seriously... my current car is RWD, but it's the first large RWD i've had in a very long time. I am having HELL getting used to it again. I've found that it simply will not navigate some situations that the FWDs would have been fine with.

My daily is a 95 S-10 pickup with a 92 LT1 Corvette engine.
My weekender is a 70 Mustang fastback with a four barrel 351 Cleavland painted pearl white and blue. I used the 350 Shelby theam on the paint job but instead of the side strip reading GT350 like the Shelby did it reads GT 351C.
My retirement car is a 69 Fastback Mustang Mach 1 only taken out for very special events and shows.

During the week - 1995 Nissan Primera (cheap, it works)
During the weekends - 1997 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV - (3" mandrel free flow with no cat or resonator, massive HKS intercooler and intake, raised the boost level a little bit)
My ex loved being an evo passenger, loved the 'stomach being left behind' feeling.

And to play around with:

What vehicle do you drive?I just got my dad's 1999 Ford Ranger. 2.5L 4 cylinder, 2wd. Manual Transmission. 213,200 Miles
This truck is the best truck ever though. You can't possibly argue with free.
Crazy miles on that man, i think its time to change your car even though you got it for free, id advise you to sell it after at least 5k more miles while you can and get something efficient. Dont buy any more PC parts until you save for a decent replacement. You did get it from your dad which is good so it was free and perhaps you might even be able to make money off of it depending if you are going to get a second hand car. Get something less than 120k miles.

As of right now I decided to keep the truck. I am now holding a job, at GameStop (Game retailer for all you guys from overseas
) so right now it's worth keeping. It only needs a catalytic converter, and 4 tires. Currently 213,300 miles, on body, and engine. Transmission and clutch have 40,000.
I won't win races, I won't get nice mpg's, I won't impress the women with my sexy car, but I also have the opportunity to save for a nicer car.
I'm thinking Camaro SS or Shelby GT500.
Any ideas? I love driving and I love cars. Whatever I get will never be resold.

I mean for a first sports car. I LOVE muscle cars though, so I'll definitely own several throughout my lifetime!
