You just got your license and it is time to buy a first car! Dad gave you $5000 for something and told you to not be an idiot with it. That is exactly what you are going to do! it’s tuning time!
You go to the local used dealer to see what they got cheap. The salesperson gives you these five cars as budget choices.
Car 1: 1992 Himatchi Citi S
The salesperson says “This may be on the older side of our selection but is perfect for you because of it’s lightweight frame and versatile engine. The 1.6L I4 has tons of options on how to make it into your dream cruiser. it is also on of the most budget friendly coming in at only $1800 with tax!”
Car 2: 1998 Ringauto F 4
He then says to you “Don’t let those puffy seats and wood trim fool you! This car can pack a punch with it’s 3.0L V6 and Quadtrac AWD system. It is not turbocharged so just imagine what you can do with this car when you modify it! Just imagine cruising down the Autobahn in your German roadster. of course this car comes at a price for all it offers and that is a higher $2300 but it is all worth it!”
Car 3: 1996 Bull 3500 Ultraduty
You go to the next car… Truck… Yeah, it’s certainly a truck. He then says to you “This is the Bull 3500 Ultraduty! it’s massive 7.2l V8 can pull anything and get your job done but you need a tuning car so why did I bring you here? This truck has the potential to produce massive amounts of power! This would certainly be something that would wake people up at night with the huge engine and giant frame. It is also not that much at only $2000.”
Car 4: 1995 Himatchi Mintira
The salesperson turns to you and says “This beauty features a 2.0L Inline 4 but it can push this light build with ease! The car can rev up into the 6000’s with ease and is also quite fun to drive. This car also has a fresh set of sport compounds that can hold traction like a race car! There is never any wheel spin! Did I mention it is RWD? it sure is making it a perfect sports car for anything! It does not come in cheap though at $2800”
Car 5: 1996 Keistone Kompact
The salesperson frowns and says “not much here for you but it’s cheap. You could have this for $1300 but the 0.5L I4 isn’t going to get you far in the tuning world or even on the highway. For you I would not recommend this car but if you wish go ahead and take it.”
