zanda reads fane's mind again
this car isnt cheap to uphold, and mikey is finding this out now...
as zanda said, you need insurance, if someone hit me and they didnt have insurance or money, i would rip their ****in balls off...
i dont pretend to know everything because im only 21 and im still learning, but at 17 you should aim at a first car kind of level, (this doesnt mean it has to be a heap of shit, but prolly not aim around the 20k mark for you first car) and look at a car that you can get insurance for and build up your no claim bonus.
my first car was a ford falcon, yes it was slow, but it was comfy and nice to drive, and i learnt the road. now i have my skyline, i can afford insurance and im sitting pretty stable (touch wood )
in the falcon i built up a 60% no claim bonus which got my insurance down to $996 a year insured for $20k with westfarmers.
what about an N/A 33 or a 32 if you want a newer car than a silvia or an r31...?
