what are some fun cars that won't empty my wallet around 8k budget

[LTb1ow]

A mario cart.

Side note, how old are you?

[rickyd13]

about to turn 19

[BigAls87Z28]

Define fun to drive?

[Jersey Mike]

VWs are the new hotness. Just sayin'

[Mike]

Early 90s altima

[rickyd13]

I've owned a blazer 2 camaros and a lincoln hate the lincoln and the blazer was fun bc it was the first car love cars that are fun to drive i want to get into autocross and drifting but i guess it could be no drift as long as its fun to drive

[rickyd13]

my best friend has a 97 mk3 gti with a fully built vr6 car is a rocket would run with my camaro till higher speeds then my long ass 2.73 gears would keep me in my power band

[Mike]

Wtf is "no drift".

If you know how to drive any rear wheel drive car can drift.

Also. Setting up a car for auto-x and setting up a car for drifting are 180* apart. Which is kind of counter productive to do both

[BigAls87Z28]

S2K, best 240 you can find, an older 300Z, a heavily used 350Z, or Miata.

[Jersey Mike]

Get a mid-90s Jeep. That's what all the cool kids drive!

[rickyd13]

had fun going off road in the blazer and run racing and sliding the camaros
the blazer off road was great btw for anyone who may buy one just don't try to climb and giant snow banks the sink into them and are a bitch to get out and by that i mean like 2 and a half hours of shoveling until i was able to get one of our plow trucks to pull it the ret of the way

[rickyd13]

s2k are ridiculously priced bc they have the k20 i love 240s but there really are to find in nice shape and i do use the car as a daily so the setup won't be anything major

[Mike]

What track did you guys run at?

[rickyd13]

I'm getting the feeling that this is going to become a joke with random thing with a pic of a camaro lifted on 33s

[rickyd13]

a very good friend of ours father owns a big complex that he lets us mess around in so that the cops don't bother us after his son got his brand new 370 impounded so the parking lot is ours at night everything from a 900 dollar 240 to people riding circle wheelies on stunt bikes

[rickyd13]

btw higher speeds dont always meet 100+ i got most of my power between 20-35 50-70

[Mike]

You do know this is still illegal?

[Mike]

btw higher speeds dont always meet 100+ i got most of my power between 20-35 50-70

So your defense to the post about racing on the road is that you only raced up to 25?

Dude. :bertstare:

[rickyd13]

no posted speeds in a private lot

[Mike]

no posted speeds in a private lot

Lol.

When in a parking lot with no posted speed limit... The limit is 10mph. Also I would LOVE to see how fast your buddies fathers insurance company would cut and run if anything happened.

[rickyd13]

that is true

and for anyone who wants to see my 1st camaro I'm trying to post a few pics it was a 94 v6 i paid 900 for and sold for 1200 after putting almost 5k on it within 3 months

[rickyd13]

Go get yourself a 90s civic 5spd before you hurt yourself or anyone else

[Lt1_8U]

So much fail, I love it..

I hear mountain bikes are fun to ride, you would smoke anyone at the higher speeds because of the gears and its easier on the wallet.

[rickyd13]

i see what happens with those civics its all slow until they do a turbo swap now drive down 21 and see how many impact marks you see along the walls my friends brothers friend just destroyed a s2k to the point that two wheels where bent under it

[Mike]

Wtf does that have to do with anything.

[BonzoHansen]

I've owned a blazer 2 camaros and a lincoln

How have you cycled through so many cars in a year or so?

[Mike]

Ooh ooh pick me pick me :hand up: : pee pee dance: :wavey::wavey:

Pretty much what I was going with

[rickyd13]

the blazer was wrecked in an accident on april fools day of 2011 when a kid took his friends fathers car was so stoned that he went around me on the left side on a single lane road and then stopped short to make a turn and i couldn't stop on the wet road
the head gasket was all rotted looking and then the trans and rear were never known to be the best in these cars and when i got it i found out that they went 100% but i will admit that i did dig their graves put the final nail in the coffin and burry them

[Mike]

Well this thread is completely derailed.

[rickyd13]

was from the start so anything that you can bring to mind that would fit the criteria ?

[rickyd13]

i know of a probe that is stupid fast may be an option but i hate ford

[Mike]

i know of a probe that is stupid fast may be an option but i hate ford

[coolmanvette75]

[Mike]

How is it stupid fast without moving

[rickyd13]

i never drove it i never said i didn't see it go fast

[Mike]

Ok so if you saw it go fast how fast did it go

[rickyd13]

idk im not that good at counting

[Lt1_8U]

Dude it hit the high speed of 25 in like a second!! Nuts

[Mike]

idk im not that good at counting

Meaning no timing systems. Meaning public roads. Meaning another strike in the column :facepalm:

[rickyd13]

lol wasnt me driving i was looking at a car on the side of 37 and it flew by didn't know what type of car it was til i saw it later that night dam why so judgmental?

[Mike]

No POSTING about illegal activities. How hard is that it get? Not once did I say you we're driving.

[redsoxsstink]

well a v6 is slow and boring i drive one but its a stick shift so it fun. you should buy a stick, it will make a slow beater feel fun and faster. as far as a fun car a miata sounds good. peppy and good handler. a v8 camaro sounds out of your ability right now. you dont sound that responsible and i would assume you would end up hurting yourself or others with it. so stay away from fast cars for now until you have more driving experience.

many times if i had a v8 id be in a world of hurt with tickets, but since ive had a slower car ive stayed out of trouble for the most part.

as far as racing, its not that cool and obv you can see it cost you alot of money. if you have money for tickets, blown vehicles, insurance, and court cost etc etc when you screw up then go ahead but as far as looking cool and keeping your life in tact your not helping yourself much. theres a time and place for everything

[Lt1_8U]

Any vehicle on a roadway going a high rate of speed may appear to be fast. Example; standing on the side of the highway the cars blow by. Was it from a stop that you observed it? Was this high speed 25 mph?

[NJ Torque]

[B4C]

i know of a probe that is stupid fast may be an option but i hate ford

That's probably about the biggest piece of crap, with no resale value, that you could buy.

[rickyd13]

redsoxstick:
ive owned a v8 camaro that was built a little and never hurt anyone or myself

[LTb1ow]

So you are 19, and have 8k to blow.

Since we are spending mommy and daddies money, buy a higher mileage LS1 T56 car, throw a 150 shot on it and enjoy it. Or an older termi, that would be cool.

[sweetbmxrider]

Buy a bike, don't be a bitch.

[LTb1ow]

Buy a bike, don't be a bitch.

can you autoX a bike in the walmart parking lot?

[redsoxsstink]

redsoxstick:

Yet.... Racing on the street its bound to happen.

Racing asid if you didn't find a decently powered rwd car fun I'm not sure what you will. You've had trucks so you know about off roading. So idk what you will think is fun. I find my decently powered Manual v6 fun so..... Maybe find a girlfriend to stick in the passenger seat. That might make the car funner

[rickyd13]

ltb1ow: i work two jobs pay for my car gas repairs and insurance
sweetbmxroder: i will in about a year
redsoxsuck: my z28 was my baby always had fun in it even sitting in traffic the exhaust note with the slight cam lope was entertaining that car was fast handled great and would slide on command but wasnt stick main reason i started my search for a new car then when it imploded i was forced to grab first thing i saw

this is just an idea for what to include in my search ill be leaving in a few months and getting another new car that has a warrenty and then a bike when i get stationed

[Lt1_8U]

can you autoX a bike in the walmart parking lot?

It's legal because its a private lot :bertstare:

[WildBillyT]

It's legal because its a private lot :bertstare:

If Walmart doesn't like it they can make it quickly not legal.

[Mike]

this is just an idea for what to include in my search ill be leaving in a few months and getting another new car that has a warrenty and then a bike when i get stationed

Then keep the Lincoln and the 8 grand and add both to the budget when that happens.

[spina74]

Build a drift prius...itll be like doing the electric slide and wont kill you in gas

[redsoxsstink]

[Jersey Mike]

[1320B4U]

Mini cooper 5spd's are fun to drive and handle from what i heard.

[WiMiMc]

Buy a bike, don't be a bitch.

They are a good time.

[Italian Stallion]

this thread is ridiculous haha

[WildBillyT]

:threadsu:

[Blackbirdws6]

$8k would buy a nice shifter kart. Fun to drive, able to drift, easily mangled by a parking lot pole.

[townsend]

:facepalm: this is what gives kids with fast cars a bad rep and makes the cops hawk all over every single young looking person in a nice car.

buy a honda, stance it, talk about how ill you are and such, listen to that awesome vtec noise you make sitting in the driveway after you rip the oil pan off, and be the coolest person around.....

And do it all on Honda-tech

[grazi]

For real, you should buy my car and have $4000 left for nitrous, slicks, converter, gears, all that.

[rickyd13]

jersey mike i was had a deal with paul miller audi for a rx8 that they blew the motor on taking it into the shop

townsend i did rip an oil pan off my z28 getting onto 21 by red robin

[WayFast84]

The only way this thread could fail more is if I started it.

[rickyd13]

would have liked some decent choices but its pick on the you guy

[WayFast84]

8k. Ill give you my formula and all my parts.

[WildBillyT]

The only way this thread could fail more is if I started it.

Agreed. :lol:

[Mike]

Dude. Go on ebay. Select your needs in a car. Scroll though the thousands of hits. Pick what you want. This makes no sense that you would need our input on a car you think you would like.

At this point. After reading what you want. Then seeing you talk about a probe. I am just thinking you are trolling us

[rickyd13]

not a fan of the third gen love the looks but just stupid theres no 5speed 350 ttop

[rickyd13]

would rather see it befor i buy it and dot have time to go across county to get a car

[Mike]

not a fan of the third gen love the looks but just stupid theres no 5speed 350 ttop

because there was no 5 speed that could handle the tq ratings that they could use without raising the price, changing the under carriage of the car, etc.

[Mike]

would rather see it befor i buy it and dot have time to go across county to get a car

NOT what i meant, i mean use it to figure out models that fit your criteria that you may have not considered or remembered. then shop locally once you find something may fit them...

this is getting excessive

[rickyd13]

exactly

OHH YAAA.not tooo many threads get 85 posts in less than 24 hours.
