Oh I know I couldn't. But it's still a fun car. And FOR A RICER it's gotta a pretty good sound. It has a bit of heartiness to it instead of just a fart-sound. I had a guy just offer me a turbo Beamer gasser for $1500, that's easily twice as fast as the stroke or this car. Then I'd still get my whistle. Hmmmmmm.

Hmmm think about this. Your complaining about being broke. But you want to buy a car with a loan. Another payment means more out of pocket expenses.

You will need full coverage insurance on the car, which will cost more. Because it is a sports car and your young. So now you have 2 vehicles to insure, one car payment, and two vehicles to up keep. I don't see you saving any money.

Well I was thinking mileage... but it probably would be saving THAT much, good point. And the truck would need stuff because of sitting so long too huh...

I agree ^^^^

what you will be saving in fuel will be replaced by loan and insurance payments.

If you really want a gasser to save fuel, and be a Daily. I've got a 2001 Subaru Impreza wagon for sale. Not nearly as flashy as what you've already shown interest in. But it's AWD gets about 28 to 32 depending on how you drive it, it's loud. And way less,,,,, fruity than that other thing even if it is a wagon. It's an NA car but it's quick, the only things left alone have been the seats and crapet. $4500

I understand why you would want another vehicle as a daily driver. Im in the same boat as you. Im working and going to school. These trucks suck on college campuses. I have to park in 2 spaces, because some idiot made the parking spaces way to small, I bet that jack azz drives a prius
