Failed attempts to make the list:
Mustang 6 cyl (8 cyl will be around 30 unless it's your stepmom's)
My 4 cylinder Mitsubishi eclipse had more speed/handling than 6 cylinder mustangs stock for stock. Get a Cooper and outhandle it.


If you want my opinion read on...


Get a summer job for an extra few thousand dollars and put it towards your car to get the little bit extra. Might enable you to buy a v8 (Mustang/Camaro) if you can convince your parents. You're involved in politics somewhat, so I'm sure you have superior BS techniques. I'm not in politics but my skills are extremely honed. If you need help, lemme know.

When you customize your car, the better you start out with, the more you'll enjoy the final results.
Made me laugh right there, sad, but true.
I think I will be looking for a job soon, I have a class at the local college (UC riverside) and SAT prep classes, so I'm going to wait until fall.

Being the type of person I am, I'm looking to buy American if I can, although I couldn't pass on a MINI or BMW. I don't like the sound of Rice type cars, and prefer straight Muscle for some reason.
Ok, so I just customized a MINI, and I think it has just tied for first with a camaro.
I can just imagine how much fun I'd have making quick right turns and diving into parking spaces without the turning radius I need now (Did I tell you it was hydraulic Power steering? Thing sucks to park in)
What year is that eclipse of yours.
The eclipse would be on the list, but I think there is just better value out in that price range, I'd rather fully equip a GS Lancer for the same price as the GT.
