I have never been this upset in my life...

[IntrepidS]

So today was supposed to be the day on which I got my new car. Well, this guy named Michel drove his car here from a town that's about 5 hours away. I loved the car before I had even seen it in person, and when I saw it I loved it even more, not to mention when I saw it driven. It's a highly modified car but not overdone in any way. IT has some imported parts from Japan but it pretty much looks like your average Civic if not better. Anyway, so we took it to a garage to be looked at. Basically, the motherfuckers there had a few things to say. First of all, there was no oil in the car, so they thought there was an oil leak. There wasn't. Then they said that the suspension was too low and would destroy the car eventually. Well fucking morons, maybe it's because it's an aftermarket suspension? Many cars that come from the factory ride even lower. Also the owner of the garage told my mom that 6K (Canadian) isn't worth paying for a 1992 Civic. Well of course you're gonna say that if you are not aware of the fact that approx. 15K was spent on modifying the car!! To make things short, all this got into my mother's head in a very bad way and she decided that I can't get that car.

My life has been ruined...for now. I am really depressed. Don't gove me anything to make it sound like it's not bad or if it's my mom's decision since she's paying. The car was in excellent condition and there was absolutely no reason for us not to buy it. Instead, we had to send the guy back with the car and no money. I am not only upset about not getting the car, but generally about my mom being a terrible and inconsiderate person (and don't tell me she's not, you don't know her, and I do). This is something I've been looking forward to for MONTHS, and it was taken away from me when it was right in front of my eyes. The worst part is that I will not be able to find another car like it. I've already been searching for about an hour and I just don't see anything.

Anyway I'm going really off right now. I'm just really really really pissed right now. I actually went all the way to work and canceled my shift because I was in too bad of a mood to work. Basically, what happened to me is a terrible thing. I feel like I've lost so much today, I feel so helpless.

That sucks so bad, I would have been extremly pissed off at my mother.

[IntrepidS]

I'm glad that you agree. The thing is that the reasons for not buying this car were very unjustified. I assured my mom many times before that if there truly is a problem with the car then I will refise to but it. There wasn't any, yet I couldn't get it. I'm off to kill someone.

Its a car dude, nothing to get depressed over.

At least dont do anything stupid about it.

I agree though it is a fucking badass car for the price.

Maybe work out some sort of payment system if your mom buys you the car? Like pay whatever extra your mom dosent want to pay then pay her back over time.

And look at it from your moms point of view. Whoes she going to listen to, a teenager or a certified car mechanic? Try explaining to her the modifications that went into it and justify the price rather than go all emo about it.

I had a chance on getting an Audi A6 Quatro that was beauuuuuuuuuutiful and the aesthetics were in perfect condition. It was only 12 grand, and it had 95k miles on it, and it was a '98. The engine ran well, and it had ALOT of life left in it. Unforunately my parents said no.

But I'm okay with it, because I'm looking at Honda CRV's right now Drove one... veeeeeeeeeery nice.

Yo buddy,

Take it from me do not buy a modified car. Chances are it was not
a pro job. 1992 civic is a slow ass car anyway.

If a car has alot of aftermarket parts it could lower the resale value.

I would buy like a 96 bonneville for $5,000 .

[IntrepidS]

Epic, perhaps what upset me most about this whole thing was how futile my words were. Nothing that I said today mattered to her. I tried SO hard to explain that the car was the way it was because it was not in its original form. We drove for a good hour or so with the car and believe me it was in a beautiful condition. And also, I wouldn't be this upset if I could just go out and buy another car, because frankly I can't. No car that I've seen for sale today would have cost so little, had such wonderful fuel economy, was practical, this fun to drive, and be extremely easy on the insirance side. Wanna know what it had?

Civic SiR engine
Civic SiR transmission
Limited slip differential
Short throw shifter
Civic SiR front brakes
Euro headlights
Integra GSR/Civic SiR mags
KYB suspension
5igen muffler
Euro gauges
new front seats
alarm
remote start

And a crapload more.

I would not buy a Bonneville for $100.

Listen man, that's nice. But when your budget is 6K Canadian and you dislike 98% of the cars that you see, it's not so easy. The hardest part of this whole thing is that I will have a very, very hard time finding something I want nearly as much as this car.

Also the owner of the garage told my mom that 6K (Canadian) isn't worth paying for a 1992 Civic.



1992 is pretty old. Anyway quit your bitching, your mommy is buying you a car, you are lucky no matter what it is. Go buy your own car, and then its your choice to buy a 13 year old overated car like a civic. Anway who really cares about the gauges or headlights? I see people driving around with a piece of shit like a civic all suped up and think, why not just buy a good car in the 1st place? Why spend a bunch of money on tacky aftermarket shit? All you need is a neon bar running underneath it and you will look exactly like all the other greasy boy band wanna be's i see driving around cranking their shitty music.
