Well I selected 'other' in the poll and here is why. Ninja Pirate super drivers are where its at man. They usually drive sleepers, but the right proper kind with only visible difference from stock being that it sits really low on the ground, and the hub cams are missing. They sport ugly black wheels because the pirate part can't afford good rims, but thats cool becuase the ninja part wants to be all stealthy and such. *ahem* speaking of wich I was thinking of getting this car. Or rather something similar. Its a Toyota Corolla AE92.   Since it runs with a 4A-GE motor, Im scheeming that perhaps I can take out the motor, and just chop and change the top end with something from a Turbo Mr2 or such. However it may just be cheaper and easier to buy a crate motor from Japan. These cars are pretty popular to modify, so parts would be easy to track down. As well as expertiese. Not only do they enjoy plenty of parts and all, but there are quite a few of these entered in local rally events too. Im thinking that although its FWD, its the best I can do. So I may as well get one when the time comes.

Does anyone else besides me feel high in the early morning when you have to wake up? Also, I forgot to tell you that on the thursday before last, there was a big food fight at my school. There were apples flying everywhere, and one person put a tray at the end of the table when it had a bowl of corn on the part that wasn't hanging over the table and punched their fist into the tray and it made the corn fly everywhere, all of the people in my class were screaming and running out of the cafeteria, and I was pretty much the only person left at my table and I was going to go underneath the table but the fight was at the other half of the cafeteria so I decided not to. Then some people who were running made the trash can fall over and there was strawberry milk and all sorts of other s**t all over floor underneath the table. It was so funny.

Pirates are the most important of the three!! If we don't start breeding more pirates, global warming will continue, until we're all baking under the hot sun, and everyone dies!! eek
@Super Panda: If RWD or AWD is what you want, I suggest you go for it. Don't just settle for FWD, because you don't have to! smile
There are plenty of old, cheap RWD cars out there, without having to settle for the overpriced, overrated, cliche AE86.
On the other hand, I personally think that AE92 you've shown us there is awesome. smile It looks cool, and is quite unique (it seems unique to an american like myself, anyway... sweatdrop )
@j5689: Somehow I seriously doubt you've ever been high before. And my answer to that question would be "no."
@Tomatoman: Why did we need a new chatterbox thread...? What was wrong with the other one? sweatdrop

The other chatterbox wasn't working right. Whenever you clicked on it, it would say "No data line" or something like that. I actually sometimes do get a little bit high off of my concentration pill called 56 mg Concerta most people who aren't used to Concerta can get really high off of it. My friend Joes said he took his brothers Concerta and he said he got really high, like he said the double doors looked like they were there but when he walkedover to it it was just wall and the doors were 5 feet over to the left.

Getting the AE 92 Corolla may be the best option as there are many many parts available in this country. They are very popular to play around with. However If I saved my cash I could get something more exciting. Like perhaps a E30 BMW. The cheapest one on autotrader.co.za is about R14 000, roughly $2 000
But then stock parts alone would be pretty steel. Never mind performance stuff.

I would recommend the E30, myself...but you probably already knew I would... lol What about an E21? They're a little on the "too old" side, but they'd be cheaper for it...

Heck I could even get a origional M6 xd . But unfortunatly it comes down to Beemer parts being expencive. If you pick up a older bmw for cheap you should have quite a bit in reserve to fix it up. Thats why I ditched the idea of getting a super cool Alpha Romeo GTV. I still want to own one, but Alpha parts cost a ******** load, and it being itaillian it'll give me plenty of grief. An old BMW 2002 might be cool though.
Down here in SA I don't think they ever built the E30 M5, what we got where the BMW 3.25i S Motorsport cars. There are plenty of powerfull ones lurking around. They are very popular to steal/hijack down here. cry
In other news Paulo came buy with his R32 GTS...its very very sweet. though its pretty stock standard and has a huge big old wing at the back, it was still very cool and a treat to see. 4laugh

The 325is Motorsport models were most likely the replacement for your area, but the real E30 M3's didn't have six-cylinder engines. They had four-cylinder ones. Oh, and R32's rock!! xd

I'm happy right now because the person around the corner from my house that has the 240SX is actually a resident. I hope they stay around for a while because I want to buy that from them. I really hope they don't sell it to anybody because I want to buy it. There is another person even farther down that has a Supra and a CRX.

Oh, and R32's rock!! xd Yeah spelling was never a strong point of mine. There are plenty of E30s down here, as there is a factory down here, and its one of the cars we got though the sanctions. Alfa however was not, although they brought in some mighty GTV 6s they didn't bring in the parts cry So as a result you could pay twice the ammount you spent on the car to get something fixed. Sadly thats not something I can afford, I wouldn't be able to own the car properly, I would be too scared that I broke soemthing and thus would probably never drive it or anything. When the time does come, I am planning on going up to Johannesburg, wich is very inland and is the capital of SA. So whatever car I'll find there hopefully won't have rust problems, the people up there are concerned with having the latest and the greatest so that would hopefully allow me to get something for a decient price, and finally there are so many more cars up there, Im hoping to find a AE86 Levin, wich would be I think the perfect car for me in my financial position.
