What car to get?
Well, im in the market for a new car. I will be selling my Golf in the summer, and im looking for something new.
Im looking for something with potential, ie in VW a 1.8T with a couple grand you have 300 HP
so something similar. Im looking to spend around 10-14 grand up front for this car and later i would follow with engine mods... probally this summer 
If theres something that allready has high HP the budget goes up
Must's
---------
Air bags
clean loking car
tell me what you think is nice... im looking into 2001's GTI's or Jetta's but not sure what else is there

Also Mustangs are a little cheaper to buy and maintain and you can get a gorgeous one with your funds. a VW may have some bang to it but it's still a lil engine and very plain looking.

You're getting to the age where 'fast with class' is a sign of maturity :thumbsup
