Why not go all out and get a Ford Festiva?

Hell yeah. Take out the back seats and you can throw all your paintball stuff in there.

Whoop whoop!! Sounds like a plan!

Must have an airbag? Geeze, mothers take all the fun out of everything. First it's collapsible steering colums, then seat belts. Now it's airbags to save the precious baby.

When I was a kid, I didn't even get a seatbelt half of the time and I actually remember clinging to my father/his motorcycle in terror as a young child. Kids today are weak, never having to stare death in the face. (I'm not even that old, my parents probably just wanted me to die or something

)

Yep. But what do you do? Disown her? Nah. I can deal with airbags.

For that price just get something reliable that gets good gas mileage. 2000 doesn't buy you a whole lot of car, and the fast exciting ones (well in the ire of teenagers) are all going to be hooned-out ****boxes.

I'm not gonna say the Talon's crap. Just that a couple people I know have driven them beyond their capabilities.
My first driveable stick shift was a 91 Geo Storm. It was really fun, once I learned how to drive a manual.

Not bad. How bad is the oil leak, though? Does it have airbags I wonder? I hate it when they're not descriptive.

No airbags on the 240SX until 1995.
I've got two of them with that same engine and they're very robust. You would need to keep an eye on it, and I would make sure that one has passed emissions recently.

That goes for ANY car you intend to register in Hamilton County.

How about this one: **** 1998 Toyota Corolla VE Sedan 4D *****
