First of all...girls that take auto class are hot...period...

also something i noticed...if your a girl in shop and you have a question...you're more likely to get an answer than a guy - as long as it's not something like "where do i put the dip stick?"...

and as far as the dealership stuff...don't let em' stick you guys if you feel that you have a good bargain on the table...there's always other dealerships out there...

Even better than a big back seat - it had a folding rear seat and a hatchback - my girlfriend in high school used to call it the "flip & ****" seat. Yes, I was a lucky guy.

My dad never figured out why I went to the effort to build a "dog bed" that was the size and shape of the cargo area with the seat down when I rarely took my dog out for rides with me ...
lmao. well i dont need a car for that. lol thats what beds are made for. but thats pretty funny. did you ask him to help make the "dog bed"

Oops - then your parents will want you to have the RX-8 with its tiny, divided, back seat.

On a more serious note - as a female, you won't be facing the huge insurance rates that a male under 25 gets hit with. So insurance won't be a killer.

Sounds like your parents enjoy indulging you. (Nothing wrong with that - I indulged my daughter.) As long as they can afford it, go for the 8. It's fun to drive, cool looking, and gets very high safety ratings.

Pfffft. When you're rolling in a car on the freeway, you won't care about your significant other.

LOL!! Don't listen to them, young 'un. They are trying to lead you astray. You stay out of the back seat!!

Just remember this phrase: "NO means NO!"

Fuji Film. That company is nearly non-existent in the way it was back then. I remember them as manufacturers of quality film rolls. Then the digital age hit. Their film rolls are not as common now (only really, really, picky photography professionals will use it). They did venture into other fields of manufacturing though, like CD-RWs.

Just for the record, of the 3 cars I've gotten jiggy in the back seats of, the RX8 was by far the best. The bucket seats hold the person on bottom in place much better than large backseats (hell, even better than a bed). Let's the person on top go much harder than they usually could without losing their rythm due to the person on bottom being shaken around.


If the smell of sex wasn't so damned potent and didn't take a week to clear out, I think I would *only* have sex in my 8.

You are bragging about your dad making $85,000 a year? that is NOT enough to buy a daughter a new car every year! How does it feel to be ******* your parents over royaly?

Don't listen to me... I'm just a financial advisor.

Not really. This is the car i've wanted forever. And this time I would be paying the bills. So yeah. All they are doing is helping me get it. They wouldnt just get me this car considering the price and since i have one. I have to work for it.
