All I can say is be as cautious as you can and don't be an idiot especially when you think you should have to impress your friends for some reason. From the story above thats exactly what happened to him (trying to impress his friends).
yep, thats exactly what i was trying to do.

most of the young people on this forum probly know more about there car then some more elderly people! im only 17 but i know almost evry aspect of my car but not everything, i actually had to work my *** off losing 50lbs in 5 months, and my car was also for my birthday present as well, i hav always wanted a camaro since i used to go to the dealerships when i was 11 years old, i opened all the camaros hoods every time at the dealer, i also do my own maintanence and answer questions in the maintanece forum, so yea many of us may not hav bought our car but sure as hell done something good enough to get one.
