excuse me while I go jump off a cliff.

you forgot one:

"what mod should i wash first?"









on that note, F THIS HOLIDAY! shit is making me wait even longer. wednesday. thurs at the latest. really pissing me off. did take some more pics though.

which will be posted as soon as they finish uploading to photobucket







and yes, i know everyone has the basic same interior, i just can't get over how small the back seats are. especially since mine is gonna be almost all the way back and there won't be any space


final addendum: this car is at Town and Country Toyota, on south blvd if you wanna go oogle. they also have a silver one. dunno if it's mt or at



is that the BeSpoke head unit? because it doesn't look like others that i've seen, and i paid for the BeSpoke
edit 2: it's not. dealership is going to call me back on monday. if they cannot fix it, and try to charge me more (i doubt, don't think they'd be that dumb) i'll walk. seems like a really stupid mistake for them to make, though i can understand human error. in most situations

Black or white? White is right, black is whack. Cant decide, and I drive a black car now, problem with it now is that is shows scratches and dings very easily not to mention if you dont wash your car right you can see the streaks so easily on a sunny day. But on the road black has such a presence and is very menacing to me! On the other hand white is classy and symbolizes wealth (imo) and not to mention I love white accessories such as my phone, laptop, clothes etc. My only problem is I can think of wheels that really go with white.... and thats really my only problem with white right now lol. BUT I LIKE BLACK ALOT

Its a good thing its a holiday, since it kept me from getting the car today, especicially since the car iis wrong.


Sorry for mis-spellings, trying to get used to new touch screen phone

Quick question my friend has terrible credit and wants to get a car. Not sure how much he is putting down-but does anyone have any good tips of advice? I figured he should lease instead of taking out a loan. It might be easier, also he should keep the term length short right? Like 3 yrs?
Also say if his interest rate is super high can get a lower rate after paying on time for x amount of months? Wow I have no clue-its too late for this. I'll do a Google search in the am. Just wanted anyone's. 02 cents

White. Baller as hell.






Okay, so something weird happened. One of my friends back home in Dallas went missing. He went out to go to UTD campus Friday morning and never came back. My whole family, and basically everyone we know is out looking for him and putting up signs and shit, and I am 1000 miles away, unable to do anything except for repost stuff on Facebook. I feel mad at myself that I'm here, even though I know it's an irrational thought. I wanna go and find him, but I can't... I just get real sad thinking about it...

friend was in the same boat last year, wanted a subaru legacy.

Basically anything used will yield a really high interest rate so he might want to stick with New as weird as that sounds. 2nd go to a dealership that has somewhat good customer service and talk with the finance people have them fight for you for a good interest rate. My friend who had bad credit (600) had the dealership find them a great rate of like 5% Compared to 7 or 9% other places were charging him. Also try to get a cheaper car that doesnt have a lot of bells and whistles.

This should also be a temp solution where he has a good path to rebuild his credit, once his credit is rebuilt he can refinance the car at a cheaper APR.

Again all depends on what this person is willing to do over the period of time, choose a car they will like for a while, and have a plan to reestablish credit or they are throwing their money away

[ichitaka05]

Hm... not good. Need different tactics...

Plan B

[wrxgoose]

still can't believe that the dealership did that. gonna have trouble sleeping because of "what-ifs" and being pissed off.

@kanundrum thank you! That sounds good and worth a shot hunting around and comparing!
He was thinking about getting the tc-way better than the Cruze which was what he was thinking about before. I asking him about the frs and he's like 'its too flashy for me' lmao *rolls eyes* he would, but imo I don't think that would work out for him cause he's a pretty big fella

And @wrxgoose I'm sorry that happened to you things will be in the clear before you know it!
