Don't, however, do what Celtic does and drive without a license or insurance..  if you would like to have your license revoked for several years, go for it, but I wouldn't recommend doing something that stupid.


Haha, I drive without a license. My moped and enduro you need to be 16 or have a license, my brother got 2 tickets yesterday for driving an unregistered vehicle, and driving without a license.

Lastwish.. what all did you hear that was bad about the Eclipse? Was it an older model or a newer model? The 90-93 models are different from the 94-current models.

Look into an early 1990's honda civic. The 1994 civics are a popular civic for people wanting to trick them out. I wish now I never would have sold mine. They last forever and they will be much more roomier for you and your G/F. I have had Hondas for most of my life. They just wont die! But before you decide on the CRX check out the Civic.

all mitsu's are piles of steaming crap.  everything from old to new.. my friend derrek has a 90 eclipse.. the transmission repair costs for that car per year from daily driving is more than the car is worth.

WRX's suck.  WRX STI's rule.  Just change out the stock tires they come with to something that is more all season because the stock tires are very very bad in rain, they are more of a warm weather dry track tire rather than a street car tire.

My uncle Steve has an 89 (?) or about there CRX in Indi that he said he'll sell me for $500... it runs but needs a malarkeyload of work but would be better made into a street racer... :P).

Anyways... a Honda or a Volkswagon make great cars for daily driving.  If you are looking for something that would eat anything on the streets, get a 93-96 Mazda MX-6, throw 1 or 2 turbos on it and do some suspension tweaks.. it'll eat anything :D.  (thats a car my brother and I have been working on for about 3 years now... we have a 94 MX-6 and we did a complete body-off destruction on the car and re-built it all.. so it is a trick car from the ground up... literally.)

My Cousin used to have a limited edition Subaru Impreza WRX STI WRC Colin McRea model, this thing would eat any car off the road in a matter of seconds. My cousin has had about 5 Impreza's in the past 6 or 7 years, but he is a real big Baraster in london so it looks unprofessional going to work in a sports car, so he just bought A Merc SL 55 instead, LUCKY ****

Me and all my friends are going to belfast for the day on saterday, so i'm going to the BMW dealership and im gonna take a mini for a drive, but the thing is, I don't have a licence, no insurence or any of that bullmalarkey :).

They are going to be in a undercover chase car with a video camera(ford focus) and i'm going to try and get away with as much as i can. I'm going to have a voice recorder attached to me, My brother drove a Mx6 or something and did 90 in a 40 zone before they guy shouted at him to slow down, he said if he got caught he would lose his job and my brother would lose his licence LOL, so im going to try and do as much crazy malarkey as i possible can, (it has to be the SPORT model) haha should be fun, stay tuned.

there is too much hype in the new cooper's.  the old ones were as badass as they come..

Small
Lightweight
Lots of power
No useless extras

so it is the perfect car to build into a "tuner" car.  you can get some massive power out of those engines and the lightweight just makes it so you can add more re-enforcement bars before crossing the 2500 pound mark of most newwer sports cars.

My friend has a few mini's. My girlfriend LOVES them, she also loves Tiburon's, they are a nice car too. Me, I'm happy with my 2005 TDCI focus, got 4 new tyres on it today, and got the clock set back 10 thousand miles, to 11532

Newbie go with the second choice--that was my body style. Its got more room in the back if you have friends ride with you. Either one is a good pick(You cant go wrong with a Honda either way) But if you are looking for a bit more comfort go with the coupe! Insurance will be pretty low too!

A Coupe is a higher insurence rate, Because it's classed as a sports car.

Perhaps the other car had a bigger engine or something because Coupe's are allways a higher insurence rate because they are classed as a sports car.

How could i be wrong? I've only been wrong once, but thats when i THOUGHT i was wrong.
