I hear the arguement...yes..

For my car, its the only car ive driven since high school. I lowered the suspension 2" and put 40 series tires on it, it handles like a top. but you can also feel every bump and crack in the road. The stereo could also rattle your brains so much that you feel light headed. Its not a maintenence nightmare, nor is it bad on gas...when i was driving 2 hrs to work on the highway it was getting ~42 mpg..not too shabby.

Im getting older, and just want a nice car to leave mostly stock, and not get stuck in the snow up in Maine when i work there. By mostly stock, i mean im not touching the drivetrain or suspension. Only plans are spt intake,alpine touchscreen deck, small powered sub, replace speakers. I want good frequency range like my saturn has, just nothing ridiculous in the trunk.( Im thinking just a little basstube or a basslink). Maybe ill even get a fairly quiet catback... Thats it! Then leave it alone.

Reason i want the car is its been the one i want for a looong time! Im finally graduating and going to be making decent money. I dont have a house payment or any other bills besides student loans, so i figured now is the right time to get it all paid for before a house, marriage , and 2.5 kids...

 

So i think whats going to happen is... If need be that i sell the bike, i will. Then buy a 600rr in the fall once i build up some funding. Most likely, the f4i will stay around for a little while longer.

I'll look into the credit union thing too, thanks!

 

Get a credit card as well. Put money on it every month. Don't go above 30% of your available credit and pay it off in full every month.

If you can get into a credit union. Navy Federal, Local, whatever - I would get one of their credit cards to start. Discover also offers good cash back rewards and has a student credit card available if you have any sort of trouble being approved for one.

That will help build your credit rating.

 

I realized a long time ago after i bought an expensive car and needed to get rid of the bike because I was strapped on cash that an econobox for commuting and 1 or even 2 bikes in the stable is way better than a nice car and no bikes.

 

well if you have always wanted one for a long time go for it! i understand that sentiment. if you miss the bike you can always get another one anyways. good luck red99

 

Plan on having a midget?

 

At least get a couple of those new paychecks under your belt before running off and spending them.

Kinda sounds like my pipeliner/oil rig worker friends - they get a job, go and spend a ton of $$$ to live like the rest of their buddies, (f250, camper, then end up having all that debt to pay off for their hard work.)

 

She will be cute midget who loves bike just like me

 

You're not a midget Yum, you're just vertically challenged. :P

 

I might be able to get a few paychecks before getting a car, problem is i need a car to get the paychecks. Catch 22.


i dont know whatchya look like yet...so i cant say if it would be cute like you.lol

The gf is asian so the midget will be half asian..lol
