There's also tons of accessories. You can even get custom seats for them.

They are a bit of an investment though. And while they don't need valve adjustments, regular maintenance can be pricey!
At least they "would walk a mile in snow" for a Bud Light, contrary to what the MSF teaches.

You bought a puppy, right?

Seriously, if you've got pics to post then you obviously bought the bike.

Ride safe, and hopefully this doesn't damage your relationship with your mom. I hope you don't regret your decision in years to come.

Last word... lying corrodes the soul. Man up and tell her about it.

What about buying another bike behind my bike's back? I saw a 2000 mile duc 748 from 1998. Priced at $6K. Exotic looking bike, needs valves checked every 6k or so and new belt every 12K or so. Would be nice to ride the 250 6 days a week and break that baby out once a week.

My mother was very supportive. Of course, I was 27, so it's not like she had much say in the matter, but when I was a kid she had always told me that I needed to get a moped and said that she would try her hardest to do something beyond her means, like buy me a motorcycle if I memorized The Bible (something beyond *my* means). FWIW, I had never expressed any interest in motorcycles. Regardless, we lived on welfare so I knew that wasn't going to happen.

When I reached twice that age, needed transportation, and had enough cash saved to buy one outright (but not a car), I chose to get one because it was the only new (thus, assumedly, reliable) vehicle I could afford where I wouldn't have to finance it and it was excellent on gas. She thought it was a great idea. Now I'm on the other side of the country in SoCal, which is pretty much the only place where it could be your primary transportation year-round.

You bought a car instead of a bike? At least it looks like a fun car. I just read through this thread now. I bought my first bike at 18, behind my moms back. She had been really happy that I was taking the MSF (canadian equivelant) course, and bought all the gear. Then she realized that I was getting pretty close to actually buying a motorcycle. I bought a 1991 CBR600 and kept it pretty well hidden for about a month. She found out... AAAAAnd I was in a lot of trouble. Needless to say, I didn't live at home for too much longer.

After my first accident on the bike i rode home with all the bits of fairing, mirrors and pieces stuffed in my backpack. She was in the driveway talking with a friend. I felt like a dog with my tail between my legs. She had been right to be worried. I was young and pretty stupid. Zoom ahead, I'm 24 now and she doesn't mind me riding now. She took the bike course and is looking to buy herself a motorcycle now. It only took 6 years to get her used to the idea. Oh, she also married a guy who had a VFR800 and started riding with him too.

So, my story is kindof like a some-what successful behind the back purchase but my mom is VERY VERY forgiving.. And I had the financial ability to live away from home.

Make sure you do get a bike in a couple years when she allows it because the feeling of riding a bike blows away driving any car.

I understand the Porsche and vette guys all want to take a spin in the infamous WRX.
You can do a heck of a lot more with a WRX than you can a 250r.... but that really is apples & oranges. Did they have the STI that year?

I read an article last week that claimed the WRX is THE most expensive production car to insure (I don't think they looked at exotics). Interestingly enough, the vette convert is #10 on the list of CHEAPEST to insure.... it probably won't take long to figure out why. The funny thing is, as a natural skeptic, I had to test the facts in the article, logged into my account and ran quotes for a bunch of cars..... the article was spot on!

Incidentally, the WRX (blue) is also given the most tickets, according to another article (again, user errors). I guess you could make the argument that this is a good opportunity to either prove your maturity by how you pilot that thing, or ensure you could never afford MC insurance. Choose wisely, enjoy, and have [safe] fun.

This was mother approved, she told me "Im glad its a car and not a bike" I still owe 2k on this beast. But its super fun and really fast. I have to watch my ass so I dont speed. I use cruise control a lot so I dont go over 5 over the limit. It costs me 160 a month to insure this thing. But I want something sport to drive. I wanted a bike, and it wasn't going to happen. To afford college I need to live with my mom for now. Its the best decision. So I picked a car she approved of. Instead of a small fun-to-ride motorcycle I got a fast car. I dont speed, but accelerating is another story. : D This thing is a ****in blast and I love it.

Thanks everyone

-Dave





Why the last one? Why not...lol the ending to this CRAZY long thread Me and a hunting buddy got bored and I had recently shaved a mohawk to keep it for a day just to "Say I did" took this pic and it ended up bein pretty funny. lol

I'm happy for you man. Obviously your mother doesn't know what a WRX is, or that it will beat the pants of the Ninjette..... but we won't spoil it for you

I don't mean to piss you off, but the quote I got from my insurance company for adding a Ferrari Testarosa to my current policy (Ford Explorer, 2 drivers), was less than what you are paying for your WRX alone.... not a lot less, but you could pay your phone bill with the remainder. I'm not actually trying to piss you off, just encouraging you to grow old with a CLEAN record. Glad to hear you use the speed control (and that you take a little advantage of that scandalous turbo charger)


So what does the shotgun and vagina-licking sign have to do with speed? Well, anyways I'm glad to see that another citizen of NJ has joined the resistance by being a gun owner.... I hear it is worse than Kalifornia there.

Excellent choice! You have restored my faith in the young

I've always wanted a WRX. Would be a great car to rally in. You should see if there's a rally class in your area. I know in Washington, there's a class you can take with an unmodified car. It's to teach you how to drive like a rally driver, but without the danger to either yourself or the car.

Here's a couple links for Washington and Oregon. I see your in New Jersey (Edit: Sorry, SOUTH Jerezy). I'd be surprised if there's not something similar.

Also, you'll see a lot of WRX's in the rally car pics
