Thread: stuff for my car

What car is it?

1988 ford taurus or something like that.

Thats auto or manual? Rear wheel drive or what? And what engine they have?

its auto. and idk about the other thing. i jut baught it as a practice car before i get my real car next year.

If its rear wheel drive weld the diff, that way you can get it sideways and learn how to drive.

Does it have an engine?

Well it is a Ford.

If I were you, I'd have saved up and bought a car with wheels for a $1000 dollars.

it is 100% functional. the radar detector costed almot a much as the car i got a valentine 1. and what about the jack for my i-pod anything good?

Just buy a tape adapter.

alright. those are good?

Those are the best.

I had one that went through the radio and it was full of static. I wish my car had a tape player.

alrgiht thanks. ill look into it. do u have a radar detector? the gy at the store said the valentine 1 is the best. i this true?

What use is a radar detector when you can see it since you'll be pushing that car.

I don't think a radar detector is going to help you that much. That car, from what it sounds like, sticks out like a sore thumb. If it was seen in my town, you'd be pulled over even if you were obeying the laws.

Yea, should have spent the money on the car, not the radar detector.

insurance

Dice for your mirror....

I heard he has a lot of junk in his trunk.

Getting a shitbox as a first car is a great, IMO. My first car was a pretty nice car, 97 Infiniti I30t. I abused the shit out of that car, crashed it etc and finally killed it three years later. That car did not give me one problem, except i had to replace the main wire harness in the engine one time for like 100 bucks. It ran me till 200k until i killed it. That thing would still be running today, two years later, if i was a more responsible(experienced) driver.

As far as what you need:

Chrome dub spinners
Mirror tints
Hydraulics
2 12's or 15's if you can fit in the back w/some kind of high powered amp
Primered front fenders with the rest of car whatever other color.

So, one could also teach their children how to respect their own property, and how to properly treat a car, instead of promoting the throwaway notion so popular in american culture.

No, you learn but by making your own mistakes, which you inevitably will.

Danny, do not drive that car without insurance, for god's sake.

Buy the service manual. There's a Haynes on eBay rt now for $8.30 delivered. Next get a tune-up kit and some tools and do a basic tune-up on your new ride. This will get you some little bit of knowledge of your motor and introduce you to knuckle-busting while improving your gas mileage. The car prolly has at least 170,000 miles since back in them days ford had a bad habit of not using a 6 digit odometer so it's been rolled over at least once. For $500 who cares. You're just gonna beat piss outta the thing anyway.

Yeah ... I'm commenting on this thread of yours danny under the presumption that you are gonna do this the right way. Drivers license, insurance ... and so on. You are going to do that right?

just pay attention to what the fuck is going on around you,

and dont speed when you see a cop,

its that simple.

if you have to break really hard while a cop can see you, say you thought you were going to hit a little kid or something.
