Hello, all. My name is Jack, and I have just been granted authorship on here. I suspect that you know that my name was Jack, considering that my username is, “Jack Does Cars.”

Anyway, a little about me. I’m 15, I have my drivers permit, and I’m from Raleigh, NC (same as Slant6, who helped get me authorship. Thank you very much). My family’s fleet of vehicles isn’t overly interesting. We have a 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer, a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox, a 2014 Dodge Journey American Value Package (It’s a company car. Don’t ask), and lastly we have a 2006 Audi A3 VR6 Quattro (pictured). It’s a pretty rare car, and we got a great deal on it, and we just had to have it. I am also looking at buying a 1974 BMW 2002. Mechanically, it’s in great shape, as is the interior, but the exterior needs a fair bit of help.

So, ask anything you want.

Would it be bad if you did sick jumps in the Dodge?

Welcome! Anything we want huh? Fine, what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

I don’t see why we couldn’t . Maybe the company would not find it as funny as we do. Then again, it’s a Journey, so it’s only worth $38.65 and a bag of Doritos.

Welcome, Jack! By any chance, have you thought of getting a BRAAAAAAAPAPAPAP, AKA Mazda RX-7/RX-8 instead of a 2002?

Welcome to the club! Is the Dodge was bad as everyone says?

Huh, I never knew the A3 came with a VR6. That’s pretty cool.

Anyway, welcome aboard! Stay out of the basement .

I want an FC RX-7 like Putin wants all of Eastern Europe, but my mother forbids me of getting anything that has two seats. And RX-7’s are even in my price range!

Thank you, and I will take the advice. I heard Dre is down there.

Why no two seats? Make the argument that that means you can’t have more people in the car to be a distraction ;)

RX-8s have four seats, and four doors.

It’s mildly terrible. For ~$18,000, it isn’t really a bad car. Yeah, the four-speed auto is straight out of the Mesozoic Era, as is the 2.4 liter inline-four, and sure the MPG isn’t that good, and yeah it goes about as fast as a three-legged black lab.

(Yeah it sucks)

I tried, but she pulled the, “it’s a small car, and you’re going to die all the time,” card.

I know, and I have always loved the RX-8, but my budget is $5,000, and it’s nearly impossible to find a properly sorted RX-8 for that. Thankfully, there are not any rules against me dreaming.

Hello, $kaycog. Thanks for the warm, and not scary at all, welcome.

It would be funny to see the hubcaps fall off. And there are two well sized hills on my street...

Jack Does Cars > Thunderface
06/05/2015 at 12:41

You know, it’s terrible in nearly all aspects, but for $20,000, there isn’t a new SUV that is better than this.

I can actually see this reply in the post. I could only see your first one in my notifications. Frustrating.

also, how’d you get authorship? I’ve been wondering how for weeks.

Hello, and thank you. In all honesty, I just bothered some people until it happened.

Land barge time. B-Bodies and Panthers are preferred.

Get a full size van with a bed in the back. I highly recommend it as a first time car.

yas gurl yas.

Story time: The guy who lives with my mother and I (not my mother’s boyfriend, just a roommate for the last 12 years basically), had a 1896 Monte Carlo SS when he first moved in with us. 305 and a four-speed auto, white on brick red, that car was the bomb. The neighborhood HOA almost fined us for doing burnouts in the cul-de-sac. Needless to say, we don’t live there anymore.

Maybe it’s time to buy a G-body. You can easily get a good example for $5k.

I really do. The disabled plate makes the car. I’ve always wanted a pro-touring G-Body Cutlass, with an LSA and a T6. 556 HP in a Cutlass? Why not...

Hey Jack! Beautiful Audi you have right there, welcome to club Oppo.

Piece of advice: Do not try to argue with $kaycog, she will win and you will walk away without your dignity.

I have seen too many men go down in flames, buy trying to argue with her. I have learned not to do that. Thank you for the advice.

Heck, throw a good diff and a 5.3 in there, and you’ll have one bitchin G-body for $5k.

TWO FOR $5,500 THAT IS A DEALIO.

Typically with 2 1/4 cups of flower, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 2 sticks of butter, 3/4 cups of granulated sugar, 3/4 cups of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 large eggs, 2 cups of chocolate cups. I then bake them in the oven, for about 9-12 minutes, after I preheat the oven to 375 ° F.
