    The stuff you're looking is probably gunna take alot of work. i.e. the wreched cars and such. If you really have your heart set on getting the newest (wreched) car you can find, then I suggest finding the cheapest w/ the least mechanical damage. The easiest way to go would be to get an older car and fix that up. You can get a good 80s bird or camaro cheap, and fix that up well. So... whatever you do, just keep looking for something in your price range, and w/ damage that you can take car of and you'll be set. Hope this helps.

        That is one of the best things I've ever read from you. I agree 100%.

          </font>[/QUOTE]thanks :D

          dont get me wrong "loser", i understand that you want a nice car and fix it up and all but think about it. first, you buy a wrecked 98', in two years, that car will be 8 years old and outdated. second, you like fbodies now but you have no idea if you'll love fords for life and want a mustang. im just trying to save you valuable money and time cause rewiring a newer car makes me go :eek:

            &lt;-----wishes he had taken his parents advice and bought a new 03 3.8 mustang at the time. My parents said they'd co-sign for me on a new 03 Mustang, I wanted a strip down M5 V6, with just the spoiler.

            If I had the knowledge I do now, I would have went M5 3.8 Stang over my 99 Camaro anyday. But that's just me. Oh well, I like my 99 so its good and I only have to pay on it another year.
