hehe, actually it cost me nothing since I kept the Explorer. But, if I were to have bought it as is it would cost me around $21,000. I decided to hang on to money I have and instead let my mom get a new truck.......she wants the Porsche Cayanne S or one of the Lexus trucks (which means if she does get one of them after a while I can drive it)

Why would she need to spend $30,000 more to get twin turbos she doesn't need?

Well, if you can convince my father to spend another $30,000 on top of about $55,000 S price go right ahead.

yea me too 
Go to http://www.motorex.net and import a new nissan skyline R-34 V-Spec II for $95,000, and pay $25,000 to get it legalized for the U.S.
Or to make things easier, go to a damn infiniti dealer and get a G35 coupe.
(Edit) Out of the 3 choices, i say civic. Unless you live somewhere thats not southern california and the import scene isnt as huge, then go get a camaro or somethin.

I bet his insurence would be about $4,000 too
Oh, and what is with the red interior on everything now? Mustangs, GTO, RX-8, all have that half red interior. I think it looks nasty.

you can probably get a different interior if you dont like it, but gto is amazing for the price, even with insurace, you are basically getting a corvette in a pontiac body |

It's just starting to come out now I believe for 2004. However, since collectors are going to snatch them up as fast as they are made the price is going to be higher then MSRP. Probibly around $39,000 fully loaded. I heard a sport package may come out later that pushes it to around 400 horse putting it in good competition with the Mustang Cobra.(but not for long)

Personal Advice........for me
Well, my dad rocks. We both loved the rally cars in GT3, and before the Lancer Evo came out in the U.S., we both loved it. Now, it has finally come out in the good ol' United States of America, and he's telling me he'll pay half for it! And now, I am the happiest camper on earth. BUT, I need advice! I checked out the Subaru WRX STI, it's the one that's 30 grand. It's got a little bit better HP then the Evo, and I was wondering what you guys thought I should do! Also, sorry for asking inside this post, I just didn't want to make another thread just for a small question like this.
