teenager looking for first car
hi im a 15 year old and ever since i was a little kid i wanted a fast car and i currently have been racing motocross since i was 7 so im in the habit of going fast.im not like car stupid i work on my dirtbikes and i work at my uncles car shop. I was looking at evos till the insurance company ruined that so im now looking at rx7 but everyone is like thats way to much maintenance for you, so i was wondering what do u do different from any other cars?
|
get ready.... this aught to be good:)
|
FD first car no way. I have an 87 corrola for 100 bux lmao.
|
If the insurance company ruined the Evo idea it will certainly ruin the FD RX-7 too.
Which is good, because the FD is far worse for a teenage driver than the Evo. There are very few cars I would recommend less than the FD for a teenager, and maintenance cost is only a small portion of that thought. |
:wallbash:
|
This could get ugly........
|
Please don't get one...
|
Someone said to me the other day that puchasing an FD could be the best or worst decision of your life.... that rings true here, I believe.
|
Live fast, die young, leave a good looking corpse. Don't listen to these old fogeys.
They want to spoil your fun. When you get your RX-7 and it rains, speed up! Only wussies dial it back. YEEEEHAWWW!!!!! |
What do we do differently? We don't use pistons and constantly troubleshoot why our car isn't running properly... FD for a first car is a NO WAY!! Especially if they won't insure you for a sedan... A 2 seater sports car?! You don't stand a chance!

Unless youve driven, can rip apart a rotary and put it back together, and have spent atleast 2 years researching this car..... THEN think about it.

Honestly, you're better off getting an NA FC as your first RX-7/rotary. That will give you a great start to the world of rotaries/rx-7's and 146/160hp shouldn't get you killed, well, not as fast as an FD would. It'll be a lot more reliable than an FD, cheaper on insurance, better gas mileage, and easier to work on. Now PM a moderator and have this thread closed before you get flamed :D
|
lol COME ON DUDE, I'm around the same age as (not really I'm 20) but I'm still looking something in the second gen range, haha your really lucky if you get a 3rd gen for a beater!
|
well my dad called the insuracne company and they said they could insure a rx7 but like do u have oil changes more often, do they always have to be tuned?

If you have to ask questions like that, the FD is NOT for you.

2. Intolerance to bad gas, poor maintenance, careless driving 3. Subject to engine failures due to incompatible power upgrades 4. Closest thing in any reasonable price range to a racecar for the street The penalties and rewards are just a lot greater than with most cars. Again, read and learn before you jump. Dave |

There are just more things that can go wrong. Honestly though, look at the price of the car then add 3,000 onto that and thats probably where you will be in the first year, if you get an alright deal. As long as you take car of it and don't complain when you have to spend lots of money on it, then I see no reason not to get one. Just dont be a douche, take it easy until you have gotten a feel for it. Look for a stock one if anything.
