Default i should graduate next year, and get like, a job that pays, or something

so i've been thinking about this whole thing, and getting a decent job somewhere that pays somewhat ok . figure 39-55k for first year EE bachelor degree recipients from USF.

most people will buy a car, or something.

nah, i think i'm just going to stick with the beater.


the question is


how much money do you dump into it that first year ? i'll still be living where i live now, which is dirt cheap in new tampa more than likely, i have no reason to leave there.

so what do you do with the car? the moped will obviously be upgraded to like, a supermotard cannondale or something like that, or maybe a suzuki sv or something easy and lightweight in the next year, but the 240.


1. full strip to bare body / repaint / full color change / etc / new aero / etc / interior / ultimate comfort daily driver

2. buy daily driver of some sort (ugh) / turn car into assrapingly fast trackbastard / explode cheap front bumpers each month due to being 1" off the ground at sebring / wreck and die in turn 17

3. leave it as is, parked somewhere because i refuse to change the starter

4. powerplant change



i have some crazy ideas in my head, I just don't know how feasible they are as of right now.

fuck buying a house anytime soon, who knows what the market will be in two years, but honestly, f that. and f buying a new bmw. every fag does that. seriously. nothign screams living in south tampa more than drivin a bmw, wearing an ed hardy/affliction shirt and true religion jeans.

if you had 15-20k, what would you do to my car?

(other than transform it into starscream, which is pretty impossible)

the car is already pretty much built from head to toe, as soon as the correct motor goes back in.
