Eh I've heard that on my cars, the doors freeze shut pretty easily. And the headlight doors are also supposed to freeze shut. Its never happened to me though, I guess its just too warm here .

I have a '94 Pontiac Grand Am GT Coupe.

Uggggggh. So I get up this morning all ready for my 8 AM class for which I would've actually been early for this time, but no. -15 F weather decides to kick in and freeze both of my doors shut. Doesn't happen to anyone else in my family and we ALL have Pontiacs. Even if I were to get my door open, t...

I have them on my Grand Am and use them all the time. If I have them on my car, I won't use them because my next car will most likely have HIDs. HIDs and fog lights both on together looks pretty dumb in my opinion. Unless it's a BMW and you just have the fogs and angel eyes on.

I didn't get that much out of them either to be honest.

Actually, GTO insurance is not that expensive. The insurance companies classify it as a "luxury coupe" and don't take its power into effect. So don't let that put you off right away. I don't like to think they're depreciating this fast, but....if you could find a GTO, any year, for $15k y...

I don't think GTOs have depreciated to under $15k yet...but if they have, GET ONE! Beats the pants off everything else in that price range. I can't afford the insurance for a GTO. Keep in mind that I'm an eighteen year old male. I can only imagine what's going through an insurance company's mind wh...

So I just got off the phone with my insurance company.. Audi TT - $322/month Scion tC - $264/month Toyota Celica - $338/month <--Wtf? At this point it looks like I'll be going with the Scion tC. Here's the specific one I picked out -> Linkie, Linkie Looks like it'll cost me approximately $503 a mont...

I looked at WRX's. I couldn't find one with decent miles and price.

I'm sort of into cars, but I've never done any sort of modifications myself. I think at this point, I'd rather have a low mile car that I can add on to bit by bit. For example, if I do indeed get the tC, I'll probably do small mods at first like a new radio, 08 tC headlights and tail lights, new shi...

Basically you hit the nail on the head. It doesn't have to be a 4 cylinder but that's just common in a lot of the cars I'm looking at. A turbocharger isn't necessary and to be quite honest, I'm not sure if I want to spend all my money on Premium gas. But an MR2 is out of the question. I forgot to sa...

What do you have against the Audi, Paul?

To thefade: I can't afford a Supra. Plus there aren't any close to my location really. I've considered a 300ZX and 3000GT but I've done searches and can't find any close. As for ruling out American cars...I dunno. I just want a foreign car.

So I'm in the market for a used car. I'm tired of driving my '94 Pontiac Grand Am GT Coupe. It's also an automatic. Pretty boring. Looking for something in the $12-$15k range. I want a foreign coupe, manual transmission(of course), something sporty. These are my considerations: Scion tC Toyota Celic...
