    Default Another what do I do poll

    Hey Guys, I need you opinions on what to do. I'm 15 and unsure which path to go car wise. Do I get like a HQ one tonne and do it up for a first car, do I just save and get a modern car or something else (if other please post what).
    Thanks, Tristan.

    Get yourself a VT-VY Commodore and smash that to pop your cherry. Save your $$$ and go old school once you are off your P's and have a job to pour $$$ into it (trust me - they do cost money!)

    First car? Get something safe. That definitely doesn't include a one-tonner. Reaper's advice is sound - all cars cost bux, and you will bend and break it as you learn. It will be cheaper and probably safer than just about any other option.

    Thanks for replies guys I will probably end up getting the modern car and putting my spare money into a vintage car I've had my eye on for a while.

    I agree with the reapenator, Get a modern car...

    And also, This sounds like somthing an old codger would say, But if you have the choice between a car with airbags, ABS etc... Or one with a nice stereo, lowered and big wheels, go the safe one.. Airbags and ABS can't be added onto a car after it leaves the factory, but wheels, new springs and a stereo can...

    as much as it kills me to say so, but a modern car is better for all the reasons already listed.


    and anyway one tonners are gay. get something with a bit more style.

    Chance are that you will write off yor first vehicle... so get a cheap, nasty, modern'ish POS... then go to your dream car once off your P's.

    Now if money is no issue, get anything P plater friendly like a NEW VESV6 while on your P's to actually drive & and a HQ GTS350, Porsche 997 GT3, Mercedes AMG SLS, Ferrari 458 Italia, Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce, Bugatti Veyron etc. etc. etc... it all boils down to the $$$$$$$$$$$ you have.

    I'm going to go the opposite and say pos. Flamesuit is on. If your like 'some' other young teenagers, you will probably attempt to be "silly". So you buy a 500 dollar excel with reg. Drive/trash/flog that around for a little while till it's out of your system and then buy a later model commodore or car. I'd say vx onwards. I'm not labelling you as a hoon anything im just saying don't spend heaps of money on a car if your going to flog the guts out of it, becuase it will break. You may not want to do any of that and if you don't then sure save up for the newer safer car, then start doing wheels etc. I have been "silly" in a car (second flamesuit on) but only in a safe place and i'm being honest when i say that. I went halves in a vn to do all of the silly things in. I'm not condoning it, and by all means do it where its 'safe'. Anways enough blabbering. If you get a few cars in mind post up the links for everyones oppinions. Goodluck!

    Don't listen to em. When I was young I baught myself a CM Valiant for my first car. Best thing I ever did, loved it to bits. Now own a VX excop, and let me tell you, the CM S**ts all over it like its eaten a cow. Get the HQ mate, stand out form the crowd and have some damn style

    Get a VN or something cheap around $700 for your first car, don't mod too much apart from things you can put on a newer model like wheels and stereo. Then maybe upgrade to a VT once you get a bit of driving skill behind you.
