^not as flashy as a supra, rx7, s2000, or boxter...


heck, if he looks hard and long enough, he'll probably be able to find a 91 nsx with 170K miles for $20K... now THAT would be flashy.

LOL if I could get an NSX I'd cream myself. And yes, my parents would pay for repairs, and like I said, I have crossed the RX7, Boxster, and MR2 off my list. And you can get a Boxster for under 20k my friend. Supra's aren't that unreliable at all. If only s2k's we're a bit quicker and easier to mod, I'd be all over them.

the only boxter you'll find for $20K is the 97 with low power. I think first ones only had like 201HP and a 2.5L engine. That's not fast. you may find a high mile 98 for that, too...maybe.

supra? get the TT if you want it. going NA to TT is not as simple as you think it is. The MR2 is going to be hard to find. Frankly, I think you'll have an accident in the S2000, and you won't find a really prime one for $20K.

If I were you, I'd get a relatively safe RSX-S.

yea it mainly depends on what you're lookin for out of a car,

My standards for a car is something rare, fast, flashy and with college comin up somethin reliable.

I also thought about the NSX with high mileage, but it wouldn't last long and insurance would rape us. if you're lookin for speed, get a s2k or a supra. Honestly i think the best thing you can do is get a RSX-S, low mileage and well 200hp from a 2700lb car isn't bad at all. You just gotta picture yourself driving each car and think to yourself which one you like the best.

You're not spoiled. Just a kid with a rich parents anyways, buy the S and then sell it later if you don't like it
