It's an NA car but it's quick, the only things left alone have been the seats and crapet. $4500
Oh MAN. I SO want an Impreza WRX (coupe or sedan preferably) but I want an AWD and Turbo. If it was turbo I'd seriously think about it. I don't WANT a gasser, i hate gassers with their dumb spark plugs, but I'm in love with Subi's.

And I figured if I was to get a riceburner, why not go all out with it lol.

Yeah I bout ran over a few CRX hoods trying to park around here. It's not good for a city made for bicycles like Indianapolis. I think I'll just bite it for a while and find a better paying job. I'm getting frustrated. I'm not broke it's just that for example I can't go home as much as I'd like (650mile round trip)

Best out come for you is this. Sell the truck and down size to maybe a F-150. After your done with school and you have a good job. Then you can go back to the big diesel truck.

But to get a loan to buy a car and to keep the truck. Is not a good idea. You can't live on credit. If you do your just going to dig your hole into debt quicker then you want.

I can't sell the truck. For alot of reasons. And I would do that if it were 2011 and it had a diesel in it! I just need a better job... 20-24hrs per week at $9.50/hr just aint cutting it.

Oh it's just fine around LCT, I was referring to downtown. That's hell..... There's two streets I can NOT go down, one it is too wide for, and the other it's too heavier for. There's a weight limit of 3 tons . I don't go down there often though.
