| So the title says it all, I'm going to get everything i need before, then use it till it breaks. The reason being i really need to start thinking about getting a vehical, I got 15 months before i get my permit, and my grandma/dad can't affored to get me a used car so i am fending for myself ill by a cheap car and work on it all summer, so its ready by time im 16 to start driving. The stuff i buy will have to last me till it breaks after that then i geuss I'm S.O.L | |

| well make sure the stuff you do buy is high quelity, and take good care of it- this way you get years out of it. And instead of a AEG you might think about maybe getting a rifle, maybe not as fun or maybe youll love it but rifles have much less moving parts, are easy to repair (mostly) and upgrade and will last longer. Good luck with your car...you could also consider a motorcycle ^^ | |

| The Camaro is an 87 and like a blueish green not turquoise but it looks like "Watch your language", I'll have to repaint it, and a whole bunch of things change the interior, but it runs and has a clear title so I am going to put a down payment on it my next full pay check. | |

| If you can find one, you might consider an old subaru. They are usually way underpriced for what they can do, and generally very reliable. $1k seems like a lot for a fixer-upper. You could get a working car in decent shape for less than half that if you look hard. | |

| It's not really that much work I went and I got to test drive it and stuff it seems to be fine no odd sounds from the motor and everything seems to be going the way it should be, the only thing I really see really needed to be done was some wiring in the dash, fix up the light, and a new radio.
@Omega
yeah I've been looking at Subaru but I haven't found any that were any good, for the most part they had a decent interior, but I got under them and they had a whole lotta rust on the bottom, I would usually knock it off and make it look pertty again, but it ate threw the floor board and everything. I think the camaro is the best I can really do, plus I know everything is clear and it drives okay. | |
