I just need to get this off my chest because it pisses me off everytime I walk outside and get in my car. About a month ago I decided to go car shopping I was driving a 95 stratus and needed a new car. Had about 12,700$ to get something and needed it to be reliable. So I decided that I wanted a pontiac trans am and found a 95 with 60k on it. Well it seemed like a good idea at the time but turned out to be a piece of junk mechanically and had a damaged frame, you can read all about that if you want in another thread a little down here under dealer run around.
Anyway I had to get rid of it. So I went shopping for a more sensible car. Wanted a sleeper problem was I had to get a car from a dealer so I was limited and couldn't loose too much on a trade in. Can't sell privately for various reasons one being I live in a condo complex and only have 1 parking spot. Ended up looking and finding nothing had to get rid of the T/A as soon as possible so I figured what the hell i'll get that cavalier. Ended up with a 2003 cavy 5 speed with 30k on it and it runs fine thats not my problem.
The issue is in my head. First of all I went from a bad ass trans am to a 4 banger cavalier which kinda damaged my ego a bit. Ended up rushing the whole process and getting a mediocore car because I had to get to work and had been borrowing my fathers car and bumming rides off people while the trans am was being fixed. I was just sick of not having a car and bought the cavalier as soon as I could, thinking back I fucked up a few times here.
For the money I lost I could've had a huge down payment on a nice car like a 02 WRX or something I would have liked. Easily could've put down altmost 12,000$. There are also other cars I coulda bought and modded to hell for the amount of money that i've lost in this process. Live and learn I can't do shit about it now since I fucked up buying the lemon in the first place but still I kick myself in the ass all day about it. Everytime I walk out and fire up that little ecotec I think about how retarded I am. But than again i'm glad I ain't walkin to work. I can't complain about the cavalier so far its been good to me and is basically new but I still feel retarded. End of rant.
