It's a biological fact that men posses better depth perception and generally better vision. It's also fact that women have a better perception of color and have a lot better visual memory.

If those are indeed "Fact's" you should have no problem substantiating that with proof. I would like to see something claming this as “fact” besides you. (Please)

I'm not buying a car for my daughter! She is working for a collection company as a receptionist! She has her own 2000 Kia Sephia that she bought and got her own financing (built her credit herself with us cosigning for her credit line at LesSchwab for tires on her Nissan Maxxima beater she started with that SHE bought for $400) she pays her own insurance and has moved out and has her own apartment. Actually she wouldn’t want a Turbo Coupe with 19psi of boost she would rather have a Civic because there “cute”!!

Ah ok well people i know here and some of my friends try and blast me for buying that 99 cougar and im simply trying to do the same , get some credit going. Hell i applaud your daughter im 21 and still at home because i cant seem to get a job that lasts longer than 6 months (f*cking temp services). Thank god i just got it refinanced.

jim, you completely turned what i said the wrong way. I said that statement as being for a first car. the stick part is more of what i got from my father and mother, then wanted me in an auto so id have less distractions while driving. i never ment a girl couldnt drive a fast car, or a standard, i just ment that a MODIFIED turbo coupe, would be a BAD first car for a young person. i should have choose my words better, hell the car i bought is not a good first car, its got way more power then i need, but I bought it with MY money, and im fixing it with MY money, thats why i bought it. im sorry i set off a gigantic argument because i wrote something the wrong way.
im done arguing, so let it go.

little trick I learned that I passed on to her and I'll share with you if ya want it.. if not then ignore it.
Good way to build credit I heard about when I was trying to repair mine.
LesSchwab
and also
Target (ask for the in House Credit ONLY, they offer both)

Both offer…
easy to get credit from.
Small purchases.
Report to the big three.

A loan from a place that does not report does absolutely no good for your credit. A loan that has potential to default on does no good and possibly does damage.

Get a Target IN HOUSE credit card, charge a $1.50 pair of socks, Pay that $1.50 off the next month and that goes on your credit score as a “paid as agreed” , buy a pair of socks a month.
Amounts are irrelevant, “Paid as agreed” is what you’re looking for.
$1.50 pair of socks from target, $200 set of tires from Schwab, or a $5000 car.. what’s easier to do?

My daughter took this advice and charged new tires and a battery for the Maxima. She owes less than $50 on the account (paying off early does no good either… she just keeps paying her $25 a month, NEVER misses, NEVER late. And when she went to buy her Kia… they looked and saw two accounts, both open for nearly a year, both reporting “paid as agreed” she just got financed at 11.5% for her Kia at 19 years old.

Very Proud of her.. and I WOULD trust her just fine with 19lb of boost.

My youngest son did it HIS way and went straight for the Ranger 4x4 he got 29.9% and his payment was $490 a month and his insurance was another $420 a month.. he wrecked it, then let it go back to the finance company! I don’t think he even has a pair of socks not to mention can finance a pair….

BUT HE HAS A pen 15!!!

I did nothing of the sort Daboss. And I have been quoting you exactly as you said it.

and who in there right mind is gonna look at a car running 19 psi of boost for there daughter! unless they wanted her to crash! not to mention its a stick!

Now in this thread here you have been backpedaling like crazy
or as you put it “Covering my ass”
or as Gumby put it (lol GOD I love this one!!)

actin like a cat converin shyt on a linoleum floor in an attempt to cover my ass
[/COLOR]ß That’s funny shiznit right there!!
Trying to twist what you said into something LESS offensive. Nobody ever said anything about “first car” you specifically said “daughter” and “her” you said nothing about inexperience or first car in your quote neither did I so don’t sit here and lie to me and claim you meant something you didn’t.
 
I Believe you did not intend to be shagist, AND I believe you regret saying it now. But that’s not the point nor does anybody any good. I’m not angry with you, (this is funny shiznit, reminds me when I thought my pen 15 made me superman!!) I don’t believe anybody else is angry with you either, and if anybody is arguing it’s you all in a effort to avoid simply stating “Opps, that was wrong of me to say that” you are now being backed into a corner trying to “cover your ass” and it’s not working. So you are choosing not to engage. That’s your choice.
You can get nothing from this thread if you choose. In that case why even bother to respond, I hope that’s not the case.
You can get humiliated from this thread if you choose: In that case I would suggest don’t read it anymore, that does nobody any good.
 
You can learn something from this thread if you choose: One lesson I see is there is only one thing that separates the male from the female of the species. And that’s a pen 15. Everything else is upbringing and desire. One can fight in a war, Build a house, rule a country, save a life, drive an 8000hp funny car. And NONE of those require a pen 15 to accomplish. I didn’t always know or believe this,(remember I have a pen 15 and testosterone issues also I’m a MAN!) I have learned in my 47 years that often times the easy way out when were wrong is simply to admit it. This does two things, Takes all the power from the other end of the conversation, Humbles us (were men, we got EGO Issues along with the testosterone) and restores/reinforces our honor.

Nicely stated Jim.
BTW, those of us without a pen 15, have egos too.... and sometimes we need humbling. ;)

im gonna break what i said about not posting anymore, and ok what i wrote and what i should have wrote are completely different things, and by what i said then, your remarks are correct. i messed up.
on a side note, id like to say you should see the girls that drive at my school, half of them drive worse and faster then the guys. not to show off, but because they dont care. i know a girl drives a brandy new celica gt(that her parents bought), BRIGHT yellow, she speeds more then the kid that has a 89 mustang, with a bunch of mods. she was in my geomatry class and she would talk about getting pulled over all the time for speeding and talking her way out of it(cops around here are not the greatest). I guess i made that statement from what i see on a daily basis, and by what i have read in the thread, my statement is not correct for all females.

Understood, and it’s easy to group things together with that kind of obvious generality. But I noticed about the chick with the new Celica GT, you mentioned that her parent’s bought it for her. There’s a good example of upbringing, (could just as easily be a boy) probably has a daddy that will fix it for her if she has any problems and so like you said “she doesn’t care”. I used to get pissed at those spoiled little brat types. (I see it was just jealousy, wanting what somebody else had) But as time goes on I seen that sooner or later daddy can’t or won’t save them any longer. Then all hell breaks loose. I now feel sorry for somebody that has to go through that. Because it will happen. Nothing in life is free and sooner or later they will pay for it, most likely when daddy tires of it and cut’s them off or something comes along that daddy just can’t fix. For example Paris Hilton, everybody is hearing about that these days (going to jail)… poor girl, that’s just gotta be hell for her. And can you imagine her screaming at mommy and daddy when she get’s out because they
“dident F#@%in fix it and let me nearly DIE in PRISON… god you don’t even LOVE me!!!”
I can hear it already.
 
But it’s the person, not the shag of the person.
 
Mike N. I went to High school with him, Mommy and Daddy bought him a 69 Dart then paid for him to build the motor of his choice for it (he was a car buff) he built a 360, duel quad, solid lifters, gear drive timing, high compression monster,  that car was scary fast. The sound of that gear drive would just give you shivers as it rolled through the school parking lot. Less than 30 days after getting it running, they say the slide marks on the road stopped 30 feet from the tree and the impact mark on the tree was 18 feet in the air. The car was in two totally separate pieces. Closed casket for him and his passenger they gave his diploma to his mother.
 
Scott Q. Good friend of mine lived with him and his parent’s for a few months. Mommy and Daddy bought him a 70 Cuda, 340 4 speed, less than 48 hours later it was wrapped around a bridge down near long beach someplace, nobody was hurt but the car was totaled. I never even got to SEE IT and I lived with him!! So they went and bought him a 57 chev with a 4speed to replace it.. Smashed it to. Last I seen of Scott he was living as a bum in a shack out near Cougar Washington. Daddy got tired of it and cut him off, he couldn’t fend for himself.
 
Again, has to do with upbringing and sense, respect, etc. THE INDIVIDUAL, not the shag of the individual. But it is generally the females in our society that get spoiled (like the cops with that girl in the celica) Your parents seem smart, you have to buy you own driver and fix it up yourself with you own $ (not counting your stang but that’s a hand me down from your father.. more like a heirloom than a handout so it don’t count) in doing this it will help you learn respect for the car.. YOU know what it took to get it on the road. It’s a good thing.

I agree that upbringing is everything. If some of us here perceive a certain stereotype about women, then perhaps the women they've known have had a disservice done to them in their upbringing. A close friend of mine has two young girls, and I wonder about how they will turn out. My money's that they'll turn out alright, because I know him well and he darn sure won't spoil them (though he has the wherewithal to). He was brought up in a down-to-earth way, and I just can't see the apples falling all that far from the tree :D

I had a friend from high school that died about a year ago now.  He was 16, and taking a girl out on their first date... and their last.  He pulled out in front of a milk truck getting onto the 4 lane, about 4 blocks from my house.  He was a good kid, but didn't make some of the best decisions ever.

I couldn't agree more.  Sure, I've done some stupid things (look at my cougar).  I've gone 115 in my Camry, but it was on a straight open road, with no one around for miles.  I know how that car handles, and reacts to different things.

As for paying for my own cars, I've paid for EVERYTHING!!  I have more than one job, go to college full time, plus have a g/f.  It's hard work, but It's not impossible.

 Actually, I'll start another thread to what I just got finished with my car.
