Default Time for a new car... suggestions?

Well, I'm sure my car is totalled:

http://www.serversunderthesun.com/camaro/

This is what I like.

RWD or AWD. Low on insurance.


I may want a classic - Chevelle, GTO, but its usually 8k to get a good starter base one that needs work.

I was thinking of something a bit less expensive, must be good on the insurance, I could outright purchase, and spend money towards.

Like... a 1985 Monte Carlo SS.

I fell in love with the STi and EVO, but they are pretty high on insurance, and I dont think I want a huge car payment anymore.

I havent found any imports that I like to be honest with you, they dont seem to really do it for me - but I'm very open to the possibility of owning one.

Any suggestions? I've got good credit to finance a car if I'm in love... but I want it to be cheap on insurance... =)

What do yall think?

LIGHTNING MUTHAFUCKER. Join my growing club of minions. We are at 34 now.


Seriously though, you could get a used one for 18k, or dustin could hook you up with a brand new one for 26-27k.

so you're looking to spend under 8k? since i'm such a camaro fan, i'd get a 2nd or 3rd gen camaro for cheap (2-3k) and either buildup the motor (SBC 350) or drop a new one in (either LS1, LT1, or ZZ4)...

if you're doing more than 8k, definitely get a lightning

You killed a last year production SS? I think you should not be allowed to drive at all anymore.
