i might buy a ford

[niik000]

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.

Re: i might buy a ford

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.

Re: i might buy a ford

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.

Re: i might buy a ford

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.

Re: i might buy a ford

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

Re: i might buy a ford

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.
