i have options for a grad present, please help out

Get a sportbike. For 6 grand you can get a really nice bike. I got mine for 7 and it was cherry (02 R1 with only 4k miles and lots of upgrades). If you hook up your car, it's still just a car that'll never touch a bike. Plus you'll love the sportbike scene. Get the bike, you wont regret it.

I say take that money and SAVE SAVE SAVE. For my HS grad present, my parents bought me 18s for my Pontiac (came out to like $1300). Guess what, a couple months later, my car was totalled and the rims went with it. TOTAL WASTE. Wish I coulda kept that cash :(

But if you HAVE to buy something, I'd say JRSC!

[Zigen5]

Damn, all I got was money and $400 Kinetic watch. I would go with JRSC...

[PAPITUYO326]

go with jrsc or greddy kit..

both arent that big of a dent on the wallet, are upgradable, and offer a good boost in power

plus you can keep the extra cash for college expenses

tis what i would do...

bike, saves you money in the long run (ie gas, insurance, time it takes to get to work)

oh and did i mention, bikes attract very hot women! :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

If it's performance you are into, go for the sportbike. No matter what you put under the hood of the EP it'll still feel like a taxicab compared to the bike.

Hmm...looks like 75% are going for the forced induction. My vote is on the JRSC.

And all I got was a cd player...jeez.

Oh wait...yeah, I guess they paid for my college education, too.

[2pointslowEP3]

definitely get a bike bro..no question about it. a turboed ep will never be as fun as riding a bike. don't even waste your money. go for the bike!

my ep was my graduation present. i should have gotten a bike since i already had a car. :'(

[tsa1]

go with the motorcycle, i'm trying to look for one now i have 5k saved up and is asking me to spend it haha.

[graham]

Won't you be needing that $6K for University? Or College? Why not invest that money?

[Mr Plow]

I'd say forced induction. Bikes are fast and all, but they will also kill you. Atleast the car has seatbelts and 4 wheels.. Good luck

[abstrack]

id get a used 240sx and drift it out... but thats not an option so i voted for greeeeeedddyyyy tuuuurrrboooo !!

$6000 for a high school grad present????? Man, I'd invest that.

$6000 invested for 5 years at a 4% rate (conservative CD [Certificate of Deposit]) will net you $7,321.00 after 5 years.

$6000 invested for 5 years at a 12% rate (some stocks) will net you $10,836.66 after 5 years.

Thow that money into an IRA or something similar and forget about it for 25 years at 6% and you'll have $26,592.27 to play with.

Mods or a sport bike will net you a 50 to 100 percent loss on your $6000.

Just a thought...
