I'm only 20, and I do enjoy hitting the pedal on occasion.
as for paying 3k for an alero from your parents? I'd go find something else.

I would guess 25 or 26? Ok I can see that point but it is logical to assume that she is charging him to keep the money without the intention of showing him the value of a dollar or the intentions to give it back as needed. To each his\her own, but I couldn't see myself doing that to my kid. I say if you want to teach them the value of a dollar then show them how to save, let them be responsible for repairs and insurance...make them get a job if he\she hasn't already...no need for a car if you can't afford to put gas in it.

all teenagers think they are great drivers, and they aren't. You'll only realize this as you get older.
everything you do right now, will make you laugh, in 10-12 years.

First of all, a good radar is priceless. Second of all, wtf is the point of a 10" sub??? c'mon, the Dual 12 inchers formally from best buy, now from circuitcity.com or amazon are wayyyy better. (I've owned a pair at half the rms power of the currently rated ones). Awesome bass for the price.

first of all, that line looks like too small of a gauge line to run and the fuse(?) on your amp line looks too small for it. and WTF who really grounds something to the strut mount nut when the effing negative battery terminal is 3 inches away.
next, you should never run a line like that, if that line gets pinched by your hood or door hinge, you could start a fire and burn your car down. there is a rubber grommet under that fuse box that goes through the firewall and into the car near the brake pedal. your RCA(?) cable or whatever that is thats just going across your passenger floor should really be rerouted under the door sill trim pieces and then around to behind your dash and into your radio or whatever kind of setup you have. that like WILL get yanked out and you will end up shorting something out.
BTW wtf kind of ground wire is that....please tell me thats not a solid copper line LOL
heres some pictures to show you the location. (*dont mind the wires they have been properly cleaned up*)
and goes up into here

lastly, your ignition cylinder is going bad which is why you cannot turn your key sometimes. this will lead to your car stalling out, so be warned that if your car has random stalls, it could very well be your ignition cylinder.
