i kno i have been saying for the past few yrs that a ls1 is coming. so i can understand why you dont believe me. i dont expect someone to throw a loan at me lol . i was going to buy cash. i have good credit lol im pretty sure i could get the loan. That wasn't my plan though, i was going to save up and buy a car.

no one wants to be in debt.

i got a loan for 10k on my car when i was 17. but i put 4k down on the car to get to the 10k loan. that was last year and i only own 2k on my car. so they trusted me. haha.

good luck with the loan. i would advise to not get the cobra, get something you can actually afford.
