Get a Turbo Sedan, it's kinda like an Ugly girl with a great personality.... For some reason the insurance companies think 4 extra doors makes it boring.... the insurance on my ATS was less than my T/C...

HOW TRUE!!
My mom was gonna look into buying a junk car to insure me on, thinking it would be cheaper than my Ion. Didn't matter if it was an 80s ford or an 03 Ion, price was the same.
so what did the insurance lady tell my mom and me while getting me on the insurance? (at 16 ill remind you) To go get my girlfriend pregnant. having a kid will make me responsible. AT 16!!!!

I have a black 06 SS/SC and its my first car! (im still 17) found out like a month or two later that it was stage 2 when i was at the drags. Picked it up for $4000 in great condition 180k km on it, no accidents with black ext. and black n' red int. Great car, if it weren't fwd then id wanna keep it but im saving up for an 05+ mustang gt or an e46 m3 now. Just one thing, if you do get one, DON'T F*CKING RICE IT OUT! too many ricers these days. Also don't talk too much **** about your car, its quick but its not the fastest car out there by any means. Good luck!

Also savagebaltSS, the mustang isnt that slow, i dont know why they get so much hate. I'm mostly upgrading for RWD and the nicer exhaust note anyway, if i didnt care about those things then i would just mod my cobalt. My brother used to have an 01 trans am firehawlk slp edition in mint condition. Great car but i really dont care for the styling on the exterior and the interior is horrible. I also dislike the camaros of the same year range. If i were to buy something that old, it would be a 99/01 Mustang Cobra. Also i doubt an old camaro would run 12's just with an intake and exhaust, how much hp do they have? like 280?

yeah i know but their WAY more expensive to buy and maintain. Also its easier to work on, buy parts for and get power out of the mustang. Also They make quite a good noise too. No doubt i would gladly take an m3 over a mustang any day but i think its a good idea going for the mustang.

I was cross shoping an e46 m3 and my 335xi. I have a e46 still tho, just not an m3.
Boo, mustangs.

lol yeah they're definitely nice cars no doubt, my moms gotta 09 x3. Just that... $. I will say this, if i can, i will get one but i'm more likely to get a mustang because its more affordable. I would love the "specialness" of an M3 though, thats one of the things that draws me in most. Also stop hating on mustangs so much, they get more hate than they deserve. Their really not bad cars, especially the 2011+ ones.

Here at a few meets, mustangs / mustang owners ran over people and those meets don't happen anymore.
