WOW 4 years difference, holy **** get this girl a button! Whether its 3k or more, its still the same. And how do you know I dont have money saved up? You dont, so stop assuming ****. And how old were you when you got the job to have that much saved up? Because in most states you cant legally work until your 16 unless you have a workers permit, your parents didnt give you one dime of that 7.5K? BULLSHIT. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I WILL BE PAYING FOR 70% OF THE CAR IF I GET IT. BTW, I wouldnt get one if I couldnt find one around the same price as the other one I told you all about. (23-24k)

Yes 4 years difference, in that amount of time I've graduated high school[can't say you've done that], had my 18th[old enough to vote, too bad you can't], 19th, 20th, and 21st[old enough to buy alcohol]birthdays, and have had 3 jobs, and the one I have now for over a year. Not only do I have more work experience than you, but more life experiences in general, college helped that. I got my first job at 16, and saved up money for a year, plus ever since I was little I saved my allowance[that I worked for FYI] for a car, THAT is how I got the 7.5k, so now you're moronic self needs to stop assuming. How much money do you have saved up? And good luck in finding a non-beaten STI for 23-24 flat, including tax, title and license, and an '06 or '07 at that I'm literally laughing out loud. It's one thing to have big dreams, but they have to be realistic, and at your age and your living situation [all based on your posts] I don't find that possible at all. Have fun being in debt before you're my age.
The car exists...the insurance cost and maintenace costs Trip is not thinking about...but it is not impossible to do.
You are in debt now at your age...your points come across as:
"I am older therefor I know more than you" and really you have no idea what she has and hasn't been through.
Roll with it...say your piece and walk away...and how does living situation have anything to do with it?
I live at home, and I make more than my dad. Makes sense to me to not buy a house right now because of our brilliant economy.
If you don't live at home, and you have a nice car you paid in cash good for you, but by all means...it doesn't make you better than anyone.
Not saying you are saying that exactly, but you are coming off that way and all it is going to do is create problems.

There is one in town at a dealership for 22k
And it's probably beat to ****, if it's not then I'm very surprised

You are in debt now at your age Huh? Where did I say I was in debt ever?...your points come across as:
"I am older therefor I know more than you" and really you have no idea what she has and hasn't been through.
Read her posts, she pretty much has her life wide open for anyone who wants to read about it.

She posts this long ass thing about how she plans on getting an STI, people offer her advice because people have been in her situation, and she turns her nose up at it and talks ****. Well fine I don't care if she's bankrupt when she's older and can't buy a house or anything. Sucks for her.

She needs to learn to take advice, rather than just talking **** to people who know what they're talking about. I know I'm not better than anyone, but I know I've made a lot more intelligent decisions than some.

I know, I didn't know too much at her age, but I listened to those who had been in my shoes, and as much as it sucked I learned to deal with the fact that I can't always get what I want, especially so young. And really it makes it so much more worth it when you CAN get it, on your own. I just want her to reailze that, too many young kids getting into debt, money is very complicated. It sucks when you don't have it, but it can be worse when you do.

I've got to agree with most everybody else, TOO MUCH IS TOO MUCH. it all looks very well done but you have to use some tack when modding cause you can go over board with what you do. Especially the fender vents.

I think the 10 grand it cost to repair my car is money alot better spent than the 10k+ he spent to rice out his car. What would me driving a civic have to do with missing an animal? I was agreeing with your comment and you start personal attacks WTF dude.
I shot coffee out my nose

i dont like side vents much either. but once i put em on i realized they are ugly. can tget em off now. itll take my paint wit it. and the 20" badges go with wheels. so 99% of you dont liek chrome on performance cars so ur not gonna like da badges.
once again...I DONT CARE ABOUT PERFORMANCE
this car is show. for myself. not you or any other cheapy around here. every car is different. try doing something someone else on here has done to their car!

[QUOTE=miked5426;2592031]obiously KANDY PAINT...IS A LIL out of your price range? or are you just jealous? im sorry that you cant be different then every other cobalt like me. and if you dont like it..who gives a ***!
/QUOTE]
Didn't you say the paint was free?.....
And if you don't care about performance why did you get the SS/SC and put all the engine mods on it?You could've saved thousands for more Fast and Furious mods...

ya the vents are still on. hahaha. just tryna shut sum people up for whining.
performance is the act of changing/modifying your vehicle to get the best of stability, drivability, handling ,HP, torque, and speed all together
i dont care how hard, bumpy iit is to drive or how the handling is in a turn. all i care is how fast it can go

Oh and to the guy who said I shouldn't even talk... My car comes no where NEAR close to what this guy has done. Wow I had ONE sticker. The key word is HAD. I'm also going to remove those cobalt decal sills and replace them with the sills from mrz performace. Then you guys can't call me "stickers" anymore cause I won't have any

I'm not really feeling the stick-on stuff. Not even I would put on stick on stuff. Especially where you have the SS badge that looks horrible there. PLEASE for the love of god put the SS badge where it belongs. The port poles... this isn't a buick. The interior paint is way too sparkly. I HOPE your a girl with all that "glitter." Why you have FIVE tv's is beyond me. Rims are nice but too big. I'm sure that puts a lot of weight down on your car. Tails look rice. Grill looks like garbage. And you guys call ME rice...... come on now... this guy's car is 20x worse than me I'm nothing compared to this.
If you get rid of the stick on crap, relocate that SS badge, repaint the interior WITHOUT the glitter crap (and stick to one color), get better looking after market tails, get a real aluminum top grille, and smaller less weighing rims, then your car would look much better. I'm not going to say anything about the tv's, except 5 is a little obsessive. Two is really sufficient... And there's no need for a rear view tv. That's waaay too distracting and dangerous IMO.

LEARN YOUR **** BEFORE YOU COMMENT

everything else ill give you props for doing, just take off those vents
