When I graduate, I will like to go to graduate school and obtain a career in the automotive industry. I love cars, but I never had the life of being able to build a project car with my dad. Thats not the type of family I have. Also, I live in New York.

I have been loving cars ever since I laid my eyes on a Toyota supra when I was 9 years ago. I want to buy a car so that I can work on it (make it perform better and faster, put aftermarket engine parts, stuff like that) and understand the structure and fundamentals of engines, transmissions, etc. Let me tell you, I am not rich, nor are my parents (family income...$25,000/yr ). I only have $1500 saved up. I am more interested in purchasing old import cars (2nd generation Integra's, civics, etc.) but I wouldn't mind a 1988-1991 Mustang or something along that line. What do you guys suggest I do?

about cars, if you are trying to make money with cars stay with american cars ONLY. if for transportation still STAY with american cars. and do LOTS of reading about the model you are working with.

If you want to buy an old car in $1500 then you should look for the pre owned cars,they will be cheap as well as fulfill your requirement.You can buy the car in the stallments,Finencing a car will be a better option,you will have time to pay the money,and can start working on the car you buy.

Have  Bug Crusher Nitro RC Monster Trucks Version. This is a great looking Nitrotek Monster Truck. Many of the components are the same as those of the Acme Conquistador as the high power gear ratio, aluminum shocks, large size 18 engine and high ground clearance. There are only a few differences. The Bugcrusher has a beautiful color. We have taken the buggy and a beautiful color of us put ourselves out. Big tires big aluminum shocks this is one of the beautiful and fast monster trucks.
