  • i might buy a ford

    as some of you know my camaro (father, son, holy spirit, amen) got water in the block and is totaled. i was looking at a formula firebird that needs body work but my parents, who are helping me out because i'm a college freshman so i relly dont have my own money yet, are getting all mad it me becaue the car needs work. and when im honest withmyself, an lt1 isnt relly much of a dayly driver anyway. there talking me into a 4.8l 97 thunderbird. i might have to give in, because at least it's a v8. I can live with it. But first i have to look at a $900 96 firebird i found on cregslist, but for the price it might be a lemon.

    Not to sound mean or anything, but when I was a college student I worked 2 part-time jobs: working for the Public Library, and in the Gym. I was making minimum wage on both of them. I was able to buy 2 cars.

    Maybe try and see if you could raise enough money to buy the car that you want.

          im doing as many hours as i can at cici's pizza (lame). but this summer i start film school, and that will be 12-21 hour days working on movie sets, so i will be living off my loan till i move to LA and start working on movies for real. But i have to say this. I test drove the car today, i expected it to be an old man car. The color was beautiful, it was like a navy blue with teal flakes. And it had this crazy cold air intake thing intake and a great exaust system, and driveing it it felt like a beast, and sounded like the devil haveing an orgasm. i actually rely like it even though it is pure evil. i will still always be a f body person at heart but i am happy with this tbird till i can afford to finance a 2010 camaro.

              A 3.8 Camaro will whoop that T-birds @ss, with a low toned exhaust.LOL My inlaws have a 96 T-bird, I think it is a 4.6 engine, there is always somethig going out on it. I thought my Camaro was bad on problems. They also make a supercharged version on the T-bird, suppose to be like the SHO or something like that.

                You might having better luck getting a new engine for your Camaro. Those Thunderbirds are notorious for having problems and require a lot of upkeep.

                    alright guys, admit it, this is kind of a bias crowd. if i had 4 grand to spend i would totaly get a 3.8 firebird but i have like 2 and a half to spend. Thats just enough to buy a good motor, and i dont have money left over for labor (or tools for those who want me to do it myself) It's only temporary till i have my own money, then my sister will get the tbird.

                      the garadge with the car even tryed to find me an engine, but they were worried the one they found wouldn't last. It's been there like a week scene they said it was totaled, and they said sence then they tryed everything to fix it but nothing woked. i found out it was overheating, and i didn't know it because the temp gauge broke. It worked like 2 weeks ago.

                        No bias about it. I dont care if the damn thunderturd was $300, I still wouldnt buy it.

                        I never suggested you get another F-body, I just said :tdown: thunderturd.



                        Ill sell you an s10 for 3 grand.

                            Okay, how about 2.5k and you have to go to a KKK meeting in a mask and dressed like obama.

                              2k is more than enough for an engine & labor to have it installed. $900 for fwd engine (prbly less) $150 for gaskets to x-fer F-bod componets over (gaskets & such) $50 for beer & pizza for friends that help pull old & install new enigne.
