Default need advice tx!

ok this might be a lil long but not sure.. here it is. ok im selling my car and i am acquring a 96 gt that is already paid off. the reason is i owe my parents quite a bit of money. so i was thinkin of just cruising around in this car (which is an auto) for about a yr and buyin a diesel 4x4 and jacking it up and what not. or keeping the car and puttin some serious money into. ive got a vid where a dude in a white 96-98 cobra with a built motor and turbo keeps up with this supra. not sure if anyone knows which one im talkin about. well my question is what do u think i should do? thanks in advance.

Gee, last line in your sig kinda sez it all - then again, I can understand owing the Bank of Parents, LLC. Unfortunately, it looks like you'll be going from your 99 TA to that 96 GT - hope you've got patience, cuz IMHO, they are NOT equal!!

Last time I checked I was getting way better gas milage than my friend in his 1994 Chevy Silverado with a 6inch lift and 33's on it. He is getting like 10-12 to the gallon with that 350 in it. It looks sweet but man, it's only fun when we are at the lease and the beach. Stick with the car.
