Better check insurance rates
If this is your first car and you are 16-18 you better check insurance. Full insurance one something like that is probably going to cost you $3000 a year.
That's a decent price as long as you can check it out and drive it before hand. Check for problems, timing belt, clutch, tires, cracked leather, etc.
Cars this old vary a lot in quality, hence the variation in price. I actually just bought a 91 2+2 with 114,000 for $4200 but had to feed $1200 into the car. $5500 is good but you better assume it is closer to $7000 in the next few months.
Good luck, this would be an awesome first car.

Hey, if it's in good condition, be careful I don't pick that baby up before you do!! $5500 is not a bad price at all...I'm assuming non-turbo cause if it's turbo-charged, OUTTA MY WAY!!!
Is it in the Morton Grove area? That's not too far from where I live, and maybe I'll stop by Rizz's place afterwards and take him for a spin around town...

Did I see my name?
You guys talking about me again!?!
Are we fighting again or what!?!
If you're coming up by me, hope you're ready to travel. I'm still a good distance away from Morton Grove, my friend.

Gurnee area, nosy.
Hey, you interested in meeting up with myself and other Zclub members?
I dunno about your family plans this week but they wanna go and see a movie either friday or saturday. Which is fine by me since I've been kinda entertainment starved while I was in TN. LOL
So if you wanna hang out with kids during your free time as well, you'd be more than welcome to join us as soon as plans are finalized.

Nah, I'm good. As you can probably tell from the time stamp of this entry, I've had a pretty wild Christmas Eve and won't be waking up until next Tuesday morning! Besides, I've seen almost every good movie that's been released recently (LOTR3 & Last Samurai were awesome!). Thanks for the offer nonetheless buddy, you're a cool guy. Merry Christmas everyone, and to all a good night!

I was thinking more along the lines of Paycheck with Ben Affleck.
It'll probably depend on what everyone else has or has not seen.
I just went and saw the Return of the King today. Good Lord, that was long. I almost made it through the whole movie without having to ****. Almost! I finally gave in during the last half hour. LOL

That would work if you had bought a soda from the theater. I just can't bring myself to buy anything from the concession stand. I mean, think about it. The amount I would spend on a soda, popcorn, and candy for two ppl would have fed my family for the whole week and maybe then some.

That is why I wear my long blsck trench and my wife uses a back pack purse, that way we smuggle all our snacks in. Cause feeding a family of 4 at the theater like you said could feed many small *third* world countries.

Yeah, those poor folks gotta catch up to the rest of the world or they won't last much longer...countries like Iraq are gonna swallow 'em up!The theater I always go to has this nice Burger King right across the street, so we do something like what AllmyZ said...I bring my backpack, fill it up with chicken tenders and whoppers (back in the good o'days, it was the jalapeño poppers), pretend like I just got out of class at UIC, and walk into the theater fully loaded and ready for any movie (even those long-@$$ three-and-a-half hour ones). I must've saved enough money to buy my own third-world country!
