congrats on the new job

Isn't it nice to be seriously looking at a new car, instead of just looking and wishing?

Definately. I played it smart in high school and had kickass marks, and kept it up at my community college. $3500 worth of scholarships this year is the only reason why I'm even close to affording a car, it'* where all that little-used loan money can go.

I'd worry about finding a clean and well kept car over what trim level it is. an Ei is the same chassis, just a lil quicker

Good to hear!
