Default Help please

ok so i'm almost 18 now and my dad refuses to buy me a z28 or any sports car with a v8 and rwd. so i decided to not whine about it and instead am now looking at other possible cars. nice cars between 10-15K. preferably 2 door. the smaller the engine, the more i prefer it to be manual. but if you wouldn't mind, i'd love to hear some suggestions. thanks!

Supra. "3.0 engine. Turbo? What turbo? Oh that thing, all that does is let the car get better MPG"

Come up with something, you can get a decent TT Supra for about $15k.

The reason that i am not buying my own is because i have 3 older sisters who all received cars from my parents when they were 17-18 and now my dad says it's my turn to get a good car. I was initially getting a camaro z28 but my dad has done some serious thinking through this winter and said that he will not buy me a car that i will kill myself in. So now it's on me to buy a camaro when i save up more *about 5K more* and my dad will buy me a good car now.

Just a dumb thought. I'd get a V6 model.....wait about a month or so....save some of your own cash....Sell it without him knowing... (tell him its in the shop ....tranny busted or something) buy a V8 model and tell him you added an exhaust!(so you avoid the "it sounds different now" statement) Te He!! ....(just make sure they look the same..I.E. ...color)

Sorry buddy but not LsX related. Please use SSU (tab is at top of forum).

I'd recommend a 3000gt VR4, Evo, or WRX though.
