as far as teenagers...our cl is just like the old legends - as soon as their bluebooks hit below 15, they start buying em'

Last year there were 2 first gens in my town, (40,000 peeps)
now there is me, a modded black one, a green one, mist colored one, a white one. I havent had a chance to talk to any of them, the black one i believe has a pro-kit, clear corners, and few other goodies.

How is it that a lot of young-bucs are getting these $10-15G cars as there first auto? I know their not paying for them.
My first car was a CJ7 that I bought for $1000 and needed some work done to it. I bought it cause I intended on keeping it a long time, just to play with off-road. I still have it today and I'm 25 now.
I don't get why some peeps feel that thier kids need a nice car for school or whatnot. Get them a freakin used civic at the most and let them take care of it.

i agree completely. at my highschool the typical gift for a 16 year-old was either a bimmer 3 series or a jeep grand cherokee. so many kids would wreck them within a couple of weeks and sure enough they'd have a new one the next day.

I got this car when I was 17 (5 years)...Great for the time, but I don't think it was "over powered" for a teenager. I actually felt like I wanted to baby it more because of its worth. Probably prevented me from getting into alot of "would be trouble." I didn't even get in my first accident till early this year. Civics are ok...If you're a girl
Plus there's the safety factor. If I'm making 200K+ a year, I'm not buying my kid a damned civic so he can turn into a riceboy and hop on the altezza banwagon. Thats just bad PR for people around you. You buy what is within your means.
If you think getting a CL is spoiled, you should read the SupraForums about getting a brand new TT at age 16. I guess you can throw in the word "dangerous" in that mix

LoL, a CJ7 that needed some work? Isn't that like all CJ7
s, and probably most wranglers? This wasn't my first car, i had an '89 civic that my parents now drive (up to 189k miles), and I bought this car last year cause it was a good buy for a used car out of college. My springs are in the air, and shocks should be coming next week fellas, so now there will be 2 dropped CLs in the same building It doesn't help that our screen names are so similar Eugene

I might get it done at Modhavi or at Burt Bros at Doraville (got a hookup there). I was gonna have my boy in Tally do it for me, but I don't have time to drive down there....

yeah why would you get the CL over a benz or bimmer
It sucks about how many CLs there are none. I remember when we got the car in early 97 and no one knew what it was but they loved it, ah well time to trade in

I feel you... I found out about CL's and after looking intensively, found one that I really liked. Low mileage, clean, loaded etc... I don't exactly notice girls driving them around and I don't see them as often as civics or accords. I do however notice middle age women driving them. I think its just a nice, comfortable car. THere is something weird about the First Gen's body style that could be detouring a lot of people away. I like it and I don't care about its over all looks. I bought it because its a solid car that is completely dependable with more performance and luxury than an accord...
