Hey, my name is Mike. I am 16 and just got my license 2 weeks ago.
During the summer, my mom gave me a piece of shit 93 GMC Jimmy. We had a hell of a good time off roading and beating the crap out of it, but I need to face the facts; it sucks ass and will not make it on the road.

I got a job in October, and every paycheck I get goes right into the bank. I save every penny. My current bank account balance is somewhere around 600, but my next paychecks are going to be big ones, somewhere around 200 each.

My dilemma: I am in need of a car. Little Brief? Let me be more specific.
I would like to get a sporty type of car, it must be a 5 speed, and newer than 96. 2 doors would be better than four. I would rather have a v6 but a 4cyl would suit me fine as long as the car is nice.

I found a sweet deal on a 94' Camaro, but after I found out my insurance would be 4000/year, I realized I couldn’t get the Camaro.

I have searched for many cars. I looked at probes, but haven’t been able to find any. Any suggestions of a car I should look for?

I did find a pretty nice car, a 1997 Dodge Avenger ES, 5 spd, 4cly, 122K, ac/ power windows/locks/ seat, cloth interior, security, am/fm/cd radio. Really good deal too, only 1600. Finally, A car I found that I can not only afford, but looks badass too.

I showed the ad to my dad, and he went and did research, and thinks its jap crap mitsu engine. He had a Eagle Premier with an Mistu engine and the timing belt broke and he thinks that his Eagle Premier has the same engine as this dodge Avenger. He also doesn’t want me to have 4 cyl, apparently he’s always telling me to do the speed limit, not to speed, but when I ask to buy a car with my own money that isn’t a fast engine, he doesn’t want me to buy it? He gets all angry at me, “you don’t buy the first damn car you find, blah blah blah”. When he was 16 he bought Plymouth Road runner, got wasted, and crashed it. Got another Roadrunner, and it got stolen. Now he takes out his anger on me. He wants me to buy a damn OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS. I am 16, not 60. I want a sports car, not a granny car. I want to roll up at my school and people be like damn, nice car mike.

Please help me.
