Gtp's are nice and are very cheap I have $700 in mine and run a 13.9

Get you a stock Srt-4. NOT a modded one. You can find them for under 10k with 70000 miles or so. Its hard to find a well built/modded one that hasnt been half ass put together or ragged out.

For a REAL dd, i'd say a mini truck. Later Nissan hardbodies, any Toyota but especially the '95-'04 Tacoma, 4.3 s10, the Colorado/Canyon/Isuzu triplets (less shitty and way more powerful and tough 4-cyls. than the s10). They all come in extended cabs and some crews. All get 25+ mpg easy, are dead reliable, and you can haul shit around... And you won't be tempted to ruin their daily driveability like anything with boost. GTP's and skittles would be too tempting for me not to mess with. Though a 5 cyl. Colarado with a tune, intake, cat back and small stall will get very low 14's. v6 s10's and Toyota's can really haul ass too. No matter what anyone says, even a Dakota regardless of being a 4 popper or v6 still won't get shit for mileage.. Same with a 4.0 Frontier

My 98 accord coupe v6 has been a great daily. Ive had it for 3 years now.

**bluefields88** · 10-20-2009, 01:43 AM

motorcycle. Cheap and good on gas mileage.

**SHines-IT** · 10-20-2009, 02:24 AM

Another LS1, your 98 Mustang, invest the half, mod with you current T/A with the other. GTP, Audi, BMW, Mid 90's SS Impala, Truck/SUV, etc, etc, etc.

under 10k? get a hyundai for 10k any type. they have pretty good content for their starting prices and they tend to depreciate quickly. 10k could get you anything from the hyundai lineup except a genesis of course and to be honest that's THE hyundai to have.

in fact i see a 2003 sante fe that sold for 2600 on ebay.
a 2007 sonata with 22k miles fully loaded sold for 8,600. so like i said pretty much anything except a genesis right now. and I've been in the new sonatas.... NICE cars.

Last one... I know it's best to stay away from salvaged cars but wow is this a looker. 2007 Tiburon V6 GT 5 speed. with 18k miles sold for 6,600

I don't know why but I love Hyundai cars. I never owned one but for the last several years I find it hard not to pay attention to them. Great value.

**DIRTY JERZY** · 10-20-2009, 07:03 AM

Great value indeed they are cheap to insure good on gas and cheap to maintain I like the hyundai because I dont like it I love my bird but the hyundai is a beater I can take anywhere park anywhere and I dont have to worry about it
