Hey, I need some info on what kinda car I should get next.I'm 21 and have already been through 7 cars. 3 of which have been in an accident that was'nt my fault. one was a 88tII rx7, 91 Crx, and now a 96 240sx.

I want a fun rwd car, but it seems something doesnt want me to have a cool car. any ideas?

Kia Rio, or a bicycle. The powers that be don't seem to want you on the road.

MR2 - nissanracer your seliing one of those?

I'd say that would make a poor choice. Too easy to crash. especially for an unlucky person. They weren't meant to be kids cars anyway.... well maybe MK3

Well, it oughta be cheap given your track record. You said you had accidents in 3 of your 6 .I assume those 3 were totalled. But what went wrong with the other 3 cars?

I'm not sure I follow you. You didn't like them so you dumped them? Well, on a 240sx bb, I kinda doubt you're going to hear recommendations for cars other than a 240sx. But there are a lot of good RWD fun cars out there, 240sx is one of the better/practical choices. Others:older 300z - more expensive to maintain but very funMiata (if you're not too tall), inexpensive and very tossableolder BMW 3-series (maintenance costs will be disturbing)Moosestang - (built like crap but they do move)Camaro - same as the moosetang.MR2 (mid engine RWD, cramped, a little more $ to maintain but fun.older RX-7 (also quite fun, but expensive to maintain), but looks like you had one already.older Porsche 944/924 Turbo. Expensive to maintain but fun.

FWD or AWD shouldn't be overlooked. You'll vastly increase your choices.

Good luck.
