  1. Re:Dealer tags??? on Hi-Tech Repo Man · · Score: 1

    I don't know about CA but in TX new cars have "tags" which are pieces of cardboard with an expiration date (meaning before the date on the tags you need to go get your license plate, because if you get pulled over you're screwed). "Plates" are the actual license plates on the car.

    Yeah you get a name. My camaro is 2 years old and has 90000 mi. on it(I drive a lot) and it's still in perfect condition. Your girlfriend probably bought the firebird used(don't ever buy a sports car used), because the person before her probably drove the shit out of it or (if new) she drove the shit out of it herself. And the BMW she bought with 100,000 mi on it was probably owned by an old man or woman who used it to go on vacations and to the grocery store.

    Give a brand new BMW and a brand new firebird/camaro to a 16 year old boy and see which one lasts longer. My friend on his 16th bday got a new car it was a trans am (ram-air WS6, all the options very nice) he drove the shit out of that car, his parents were rich, he knew that no matter what happened to this car he'd get a new one anyway. In one year he put 50,000 mi on that car (the average person puts about 15,000 mi a year) he hadn't had any problems with it so his dad decided to give him a brand new car a BMW Z3 for his 17th bday. Well he drove the Z3 like he had driven the trans am, racing anyone and everyone, and a week before his 18th bday it had broken down. He needed a new transmission and several other small things. But do you know how much a transmission costs on a BMW (the warranty was out because of the miles he put on the car). But to make a long story short, they got rid of the BMW and he drives a new trans am now and has been since.

    Oh btw, my camaro uses nitrous and that puts a LOT of stress on an engine, the only thing I've frequently had to replace on the car was the tires. ^_^

    I don't know what year the car was or what kind of aftermarket products she had that would make her or the car look like Rocky.

    I used to work at a small local video store and we had a polisher and some clear covers to go on DVDs to prevent scratching and we never had any problems.

    If you want a cheap sports car that's as fast or faster than a BMW, Ferrari, Viper.... get an Eclipse, Camaro, Firebird, Mustang, MR Spyder, most of these you can get for under $25000. Plus you can spend what you saved on aftermarket accessories to make them look better, go faster, etc. I have a 1999 Camaro SS (fixed up of course) that looks good and can run with the best of them. I get decent gas mileage (19/28 city/hwy when driving normal) and insurance is cheaper. Nothing feels better than kicking a Z8, vette(TA's and Z28's come with a toned down vette engine anyway), or viper's (when using nitrous) ass. Of course you could get the Ford Focus FR200

    In Texas it's only considered self defense if you shoot them below the waist and if they are in your yard they have to be more than 8 ft. from the street (8 ft. of your yard is govt. property).
