I'm picking up my first ever car tomorrow. Are there any non-obvious accessories to consider? I don't mean stuff like upgraded alloys or tinted windows, but more along the lines of something I can buy and install myself rather cheaply with ease once it's home? Maybe one of those tree-shaped air fresheners...

Nice, what car are you getting?

Well, this is your first car, you WILL scratch it!

Dont worry about esthetic upgrades, you can add them as you go. I strongly advice you get a couple of 'safety' features though. They arent cheap (nor expensive) and you cant install them yourself, but they are good. One is call carter protector (?). It is a steel plate the put under your car to protect all their pieces in case you go into uneven terrains. Also, there is the rear parking assist (kind of an alarm to tell how close you are to the wall), it is fucking annoying, but it is very helpful. Leather seats are great as well, specially to keep them clean and with a good smell, but it is more of a high end luxury accessory, so it will come down to how much money you have to spend.

There are some more, all of them are cool, but just as unnecessary!

I hope you have fun, the first car is always special. :)

@,

I'm getting this rather sexy (in my opinion) beast! I'm getting it in black however instead of white. -

I wouldn't usually go with this company for cars as I always aim for 'bigger' brands, labels, companies etc. - but this should start me off nicely!

The guys my age around my area all go for more 'sporty' looking cars, but I've always enjoyed being different, so I thought instead of getting a flashy, sleek looking car which can only go 100 miles before breaking down, I'd get something quite fuel efficient and 'beefy' to scare the other cars :D Basically, while my friends drive around in Jovetic I'll be driving around in Drogba (if that makes sense) :ph34r:

I've gone for the beeper which helps with parking as well as an upgraded sound system (A necessity to me), so I guess there's only one other major thing to consider; How will I get on TalkChelsea while driving!? I'll find a way... I hope.

Lucky for me I only have to pay half the worth of the car in installments ( :dance: ) while a few family members chipped in for the other half!

@Leif,

This is a beast for your first car, CONGRATULATIONS! :D

I like bulkier taller cars as well, but I just cant turn down a two seater manual sporty, LOOL. :lol:

Well, you would get a lot of hot girls with this car in Brazil. Car is very expensive here, people (the ones who get cars with 18-19) usually have shit cars...

May I ask how much it is? (sorry, I know this is very rude)

My dream first car is the Dodge Charger (USED of course). my boy got it for 7K (but his dads a car dealer so he got it for free :rant: ) but unless i can get around 5k or 4.5K there's no way in hell ima get it.

@,

I'm scared that I may be tempted to make love with it... but nonetheless, thanks :D

For the model I'm getting + a few upgraded specs, it's £21,765 :cry: I'm personally spending exactly £10,000 on it (I've been saving up all my money since I was young. I never really bought much!), while my mum spends around £5,000 as a huge 18th Birthday present (which I'm getting early obviously since my Birthday is in June). The remaining £6,000 or so is from a bank account which is filled with funds which I recently got due to my dad leaving before I was born. It turned out we we (me and mum) were supposed to be getting some sort of 'benefit' all this time; which we didn't; so we got to settle on a one-off cash sum!

HAHAHAHA, they dont have much holes, but I bet you will be fucking a lot inside it! :D

Thanks for the price info, it is indeed expensive. However, you will love it and be happy and that is actually priceless.

Sorry about your dad! :cry:

No way! I am NOT risking getting a little round white stain on the leather!!! :angry:

As cliche, cheesy or however it sounds, that's something I realised recently. Of course it's good to be financially secure, but loads of us get to the point where we want too much security - earn/save up as much money as we can - and then spend it! I doubt spending the money on PS3/PS4 games, food, weed brownies ( :ph34r: ) would make me anywhere near as happy. I think I've made a good choice.

Sorry about your dad!

Don't be sorry you bitch! It's one of those situations where, although "It's better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all", since I've never had a dad in the first place, there's nothing to miss. I've never experienced it/him, so there's no void feeling or unhappiness which comes from it! It's just made me more independent I think while at the same time made me a total momma's boy :wub:

Now with all that said, I'm getting an early night (for me anyway) now as tomorrow I'm waking up nice and early to pick up my car, and then hopefully drive it somewhere nice for a few hours so I can err, spend 'quality time' with it :ph34r: So to @, & @Blue-in-me-Veins, both; GOODNIGHT BITCHES! :blue scalf:

@,DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH $$$ THAT IS!? i would definitely buy that but unless i win the lotto, never in a million years hahahaha.

LOOOOL, OF COURSE I KNOW HOW MUCH IT COSTS! :D

I just took the very first picture on Google. What I am saying is for you to buy a Camaro of the same year you would be dreaming of getting a Dodge!

They are competitors, there are Camaro's in the same price range...

Does anybody else get annoyed when people write hashtags where they don't belong (outside twitter)? What the f is the purpose?

Well, it depends on in which way they are being used. If it's being done in some parodic way, I don't see any problems.
