What's your budget?
--------------------
Yellow94GT never touched anyone's sig or banned anyone, so I'm going to quit spreading that rumor. It's not like I have any proof anyways. All yellow94gt and other mods have done is volunteer their time to help other people buy/sell parts, learn how to make their cars go faster and meet fellow enthusiasts. I'm a hater, but it's hard to hate on these facts. I have saved hunrdeds, maybe thousands of dollars here buying and selling parts over the years alone, but I don't care, this website owes me damnit, and I'll piss on it as much as I want. Us haters gonna hate. Why contribute to something when you can take for free?
I act like I'm@Age15
I make friends on the internet that are@Age18
I was picked on in my youth so I became a bully@Age24
My mouth started to run 24/7 on the internet, but my car never at the track@Age26
First pubic hair@Age30
Troll@Age31
My internet friends and I ALL just got the boot for good!@Age31
Yes, you read it right, 31 and just as childish as my fresh out of highschool internet friends@31
Oh yeah, this isn't my website, so no one has to ask for my permission to change my sig. Hell, not like I pay the CAFORDS bill, so why should they need my permission to put what they want on their site? We're all guests here. Maybe some of us should start acting like guests or leave?

Try an 06 Subaru WRX thats when they went with the 2.5liter. I Ran 14.0 stock and probably can run a high 13. I average 24mpg mixed driving and can probably get 27-30mpg all highway. Its the best all round car I ever owned and can still corner in the rain.

I know this is probably not what you are looking to hear but.. I would get a 99-02 Mustang GT. You can pick one up for around $9k-$12k fully loaded with low miles. It will get 23-25mpg on the freeway AND it is a Mustang with a V8 ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
The only downsides are that insurance will be expensive and you will probably not be able to resist the urge to modify it ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Craigslist I looked for about 3 months or so and found an '01 GT, 5 speed, 49k miles, some minor mods, fully loaded, and paid $10.5k. This is a good time to buy b/c everyone is strapped during the holiday's. Just take your time and look at a few cars before buying. Mine was very reliable and a blast to drive.
