You'll eventually pick some things up.

I'd get something easy to start with like a civic.

And no. Theres people from all over Virginia. Some of NC and Maryland and a few other states sometimes.

Im for and against this. Though there is ALOT of good info in that section, the number of unimformed and misleadingk information greatly outwieghs the good. You'll end up seeing who you can typically take their word for and what not. Have you said what type of car you have or have hopes of getting?

Yea well i don't like civics. never have (other dude sugest it) but i have a 95 blue mustang. not gt or nething. and its automatic so i know that wont work. i really want a Wrx sti but their to much money so i'm looking around at other cars i like. i like the 240sx and the LAncer Evo. idk how much they are though or if its good for beginners like me. i might have to settle with my mustang though sadly because i cant afford a totally new car. but im sure i could afford to help my mustang. I wish i wouldnt have put $800 in a new transmission for my mustang. dangit.

Evo's are pretty expensive. I think a 240 would be a good car.

you could put your car up for sale or trade on here. get something cheaper and have money left over to do some work on the car you get.
