I don't think you would. My first insurance downpayment was $1801.00 followed my $824.36 a month. That on top of the payemtent for the car which was $1200 a month. And at the time I was only getting $45K a year. So I had maybe $500 left for gas and food per month. Which is why I walked most places, and went without food for 2-3 days a week.

First car was a '90 Civic EF 4-door with a swapped D16 VTEC "single-slammer" that I ultimately sold for a 300ZX

Yeah, the Z32 was a huge improvement, and the VG30's have Nissan's form of VTEC anyways :thumbsup: When I bought mine we swapped the VG30DETT into my 2+2 and I loved it. I'd still have it now if some old fart didn't cross the median and hit me head on :xmad: but then again my insurance cut me a check for the value of it and I bought my DSM with it... bittersweet.

Nissan didn't use their variable valve timing as a marketing gimmick quite like Honda, and in 1996 Nissan stopped equipping 300zx's with the variable valve timing for emmissions reasons (so 1996 300ZX's actually make less power than earlier Z32's)

and while I'm talking about VTEC as a marketing ploy, TRUE VTEC means having 3 cam lobes per valve (think Civic Si, RSX Type-S). Which most Honda VTEC engines don't have (the Fit for example)

In all technicality, the one in my sig. I had two before that but they were cars that I fixed and sold before I was old enough to drive in them (88 Lebaron, and an 82 F150 Lariat). And I drove my parent's cars till I was given my Vic for my 17th B-day, I think my dad shed tears when he gave the girt to me.

No. Hmmm. Ever hear of Hard Rock?

Well we now own Hard Rock LLC. All the restraunts, hotels, and casinos. Exept the ones that are licensed, like Las Vegas, and the original one in England. We now gross over $1.2 B a year.
So you know all these guys?

The only one I've met is Mr. Dodds. He was present when we finalized the deal. They should be at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood FL, on Tuesday for the Tribes 50th Anniversary.

The first car I remember buying was, I think, a '76 Honda HCCA 1600. I had a hard time finding parts to tune it up or anything so I sold it to a guy for $50 and bought an '81 Buick Skylark. That thing was legendary...
