Got my CL
It's a '97 3.0CL that I picked up this wednesday (2/15) night. The car has some scratches (obviously) and two small tears on the inside leather seats.
This is my first car (I'm 15.5, just got like 3 weeks ago). Heh...I did made the tires squeal like crazy (by accident) today because I pushed the gas a bit too much at a traffic light making a left turn
Actually I did that twice, but the first time was mild compared to the second. Anyways, here are some pics. No engine because it's all stock so you guys know what it looks like. I'm considering buy a new head unit, amp and speakers for next school year.

You're 17 with a beer pong table, and no your seats don't fold down, did you not know that for sure?

Anyways, I have a few questions
1)How many speakers are there (6?), where are they, and what size are they?
2)The car alarm goes off whenever I try to open the door with a key, why? Remote doesn't set it off, but both keys do.
3)Is there an amp and where is it?
4) I'm sure I'll think of more lol

How will I save up for audio? I don't spend much of the money that they give me for allowance, so I've already saved up quite a bit. (~$650)

Tsk tsk tsk. Do your parents not care about you? My mom wouldn't let me have the 3.0 for my own saftey when I got mine. (My age lies on the profile)
Have fun with that car though, I wish I got that. I guess I'm just jealous. I'll stick with my 2.3 though, it's fast enough for me.

Another time we drifted on gravel and almost flipped. Another time I hung onto the car as he gunned it. etc....I could go on lol
My parents think the subs distracted him or something
