Well I had the option of spending $5,000 on a used car, or get my moms 2004 Mercury Mountaineer. After checking out craigslist and autotrader and seeing what i could get for $5,000, I chose the Mountaineer.

I really dont care what kinda car I have, as long as the interior is nice/non-junky and has a nice Radio.

I like the Ford Sync stuff they show on the commercials...do they have like an addon like that? lol. I sound like such a n00b :(

Lol, my first vehicle (and still is a year later) is my 1992 gmc pickup :) Bought it off a dude in sc that had to get rid of it since he needed a bigger truck to pull his trailor (a little 1500 wasn't good nuff to pull 5 cows I guess :p) and nabbed it for $1.5k, replaced the valve guide seals, added freeon, a new muffler and it runs like a charm. But of course I would've took anything with a engine and wheels, but I love my truck!

Here is a picture the day I got it, but since then I also got new rims/tires for it as well, and other minor stuff. And took it with a crappy camera, the blue is actually still in great shape.

Thanks, I actually just found out that my friend is replacing the 305 in his camaro w/ a 355 so it looks like ima be trading my Wii for his 305, since my truck only has a v6 in it :( But it's already got a turbo 400 tranny and posi rearend so that 305 is going to look real nice once I bore it out .060 over :)

My friend had a 350 bored .060 over (i believe) with nascar pistons and crank, and he had about 450 horse coming out of his 89 scottsdale. That thing could do wicked burnouts.

@jar3tt
Dang that's pretty sweet dude, I think his 305 actually has roller rockers already on it too, so that'll be pretty sweet. I was thinking about rebuilding a 350 and boring it out but it's my first truck, and I'll settle with a 305 over a v6 anyday.

Pioneer is nice dude, I bought the Alpine deck for my truck (single DIN) w/o the cd player built in, which I don't even need, and definitely sounded wayy better with some pioneer 4x6 speakers. Pioneer is definitely a nice brand tho.
