And who are you again? Thanks for the advice, but I run with a better crowd. A beat up Oldsmobile just wont do the trick. I'm guessing you don't have an Ivy League degree do you?

Positive comments only please.

An ounce of pretension is worth a pound of manure.

Swifttraders: consider the Yugo, Lada, or Skoda

If you're going that "masses" route, a Trebant would be mandatory.

Quote from shiphouse:
Oh and never mention to anybody that you got $50K (whether it is in the form of a car or money to invest) from you parents as a token of there appreciation to you for finishing school. People in Chicago could care less. [/B]

I Agree

My two cents...
Im about to graduate as well. I wouldn't even dream of being rewarded with a car (let alone $50,000 worth of car). My parents already gave me enough just to pay for school. In actuality, I believe I owe them.

My advice is...
Dont brag about daddys money
Cars are terrible investments
Prove that your Ivy education was worth a damn by wisely using this money

PS- "4years of hard work"... Gimmie a break. College is not that hard. Try doing it and holdling down a full time job.

The Lotus Elise... only prob is the seats are on the floor. It might not be the best daily driver but, heh, you are young. Beautiful car though. Also, tuner folks will think you are stupid for spending so much because the Elise has a Japanese engine in it and comes in all flavors of garish colors.
