My buddy's son's VE5 (pic)
My good friend has heard me talk so much about these cars when it came time to find his 16 year old a car he found this 92 SE 5spd. It's really a clean one owner car. 149K and no VTC ticking at all. I put front brake pads on it for him and put in a window regulator and showed the kid how. We came home from quail hunting last Friday and this was in his driveway. I gotta give the kid credit, he sure keeps it clean.

I had the same car (VE 5-speed) in that color with black leather interior. Exactly the same options as my current car, except with ABS.
That one looks very clean and sounds like it was pretty well taken care of.

Very nice car. Tell him to take it easy.. For a first car, it maybe a bit too much in my opinion for a young new driver. Once he feels the VE power, theres no telling what to expect. I personally destroyed my first car peice by peice from street racing to accidents and lack of maintenance because I really had nobody to show me the ropes. I may have been better off with a beat up Civic or something similar to learn how to drive.

I guess so far he is being pretty careful. He just learned how to drive and then his father taught him to drive the stick. Caught on pretty well. If he's like me at all he will get tickets. I'm trying to get him to join the org.--he'll be younger than vans--
#12
there are some that are younger than me.. maybe like 2 or 3....... makes me feel old well i beat the hell outa my cars.. but was lucky enough to get no tickets.. and it isnt worth having a radar detector because if the detector is going off, the cop already has you on his radar

Well hopefully he continues to keep it clean. It shows pride in ownership. Hopefully that means he will take care of the car and not do TOO much of the typical young stunts guys do.

Wow, I love these cars, but its not like they are way fast or something. They are quick enough to be a bit of fun but not so fast that it is troublesome. When I started driving it was in my parents beat up old Caprice. It was a V8 and about as quick as the Max. I never got a ticket and never went street racing. It is a mindset not the car's fault.

It is not the car that kills...It's the driver...You can die in a geo metro just as easy if you drive it like a idiot....

Thats a lie and we both know it, although it is true in certain events. The radar detector will beep if it senses that someone is scanning the area with a radar gun...therefore giving you time to slow down, my radar usually goes off at least a few city blocks before I notice the cop car that'll make the radar go crazy when you're directly in front of him. NOW if the cop is hidden incredibly well where the radar detector will have a hard time finding the waves being emitted, it will beep as soon as you pass in front of the cops/waves path making the radar go off but making it too late. Personally it usually works for me although I never rely on it cuz cops can just be pacing you but its still helpful in the dark.

Thats what I used to do but believe it or not I got pulled over for doing 44/30 which I wasnt but I ended up gettin pulled over and the cop said he got me on radar which I believe he got the car in front me on radar. Usually being in a pack of speeders does help but it doesnt necessarily mean you wont get stopped..cops are *******s
I want VE5.

Either way most people hate cops as they think it's cool but be the first to call the cops when somethin goes down. So let's not be hippocritical when someone is jackin your car and a cops risks his/her life in order to protect your property.

having a radar detector doubles your chances of getting pulled over and ticketed for speeding.
MOST modern radar guns also have radar detector detectors on them to see who has a detector.

they claim it goes undetected, but then you don't entirely understand how the guns and detectors work
