Integra's are fun, I got to drive the honda version of it, which is fun as is, so you should be having double the fun with it.

Bought another car t'other day. My KA is really low down, quite sporty in that sense, but I have to take my gran shopping quite often, so I needed something slightly taller for her. Also needed something with 5 doors rather than just 3, little more leg room for the people in the back etc.

So, I got a 5 door 52reg Ford Fiesta, properly mint condition, ?????????2000 cash in hand, nothing else to pay. It drives awesomely, really smooth engine, seriously pleased with it so far!

Would post a picture, but I haven't got one. I'll perhaps post one later, but it'd s pretty boring looking car [lol]

It's not one of the new awesome looking Fiestas though, it's one of the old grannymobile ones. I'll find a pic off the net of a similar or exact same car, cus I don't have a photo of my actual one atm.

This is pretty much the exact same car, same colour and everything. The wheel on mine are slightly different, though:

If it was one the awesome new Fiestas, I would! Well, no, I probably wouldn't. But it is a car I have aspired to own. We could have bought a new Fiesta, very easily, on finance - a new Fiesta Zetec S was like ?????????37 a week. But with our financial situation, it's far better that we just use actual cash to buy an older car outright. Now we own a second car and haven't got anything to pay on either of them, they're ours to do what we want with, or sell to get the money straight back if want etc.

My drive looks like a blue colour chart at the moment, from light to dark.

You know I had a really excellent snarky remark also, but yours is just so much better and I really can't top it.

Bravo good sir!

Well now that you ask here is the list of "acceptable" vehicles for the future when I have a big boy job. The more expensive ones would obviously come later in life:

Ideal Cars are:
*Not a Chrysler product
*No Italian trash (Veyrons are a Volkswagon. Deal with it lolz)
*Buicks
*REAL Toyota 4x4's (the ones terrorists still use BECAUSE THEY WORK)

The second two options are essentially "it". Probably end up using a toyota or ford sedan midway obviously.

I currently don't own a car since I like being able to eat and the student budget is much easier when I don't have that expense looming over me.

In general if you want to make a statement that's fine and there are subtle ways to do that (the array of art deco 1950's hood ornaments still circulating around is fantastic), but buying something meant to make you look like a fat jesus thumping Texan whose dick stopped working at age 32 from diabetes or dumping 30K into a Honda Civic to make the muffler sound broken is NOT how you do it.

The UK pretty much exclusively drives hatckbacks and hot-hatches. When the roads are as small as ours and the parking in towns is as sparse and as small as it is in our country, the only cars that make sense to own are hatches.
