Me I was 17 at the time. I was in CEGEP and in April my homie bought his first car, a 300zx TT jdm. I didn't know much about cars that time but I was with him when we picked up the car. My friend was so excited that he didn't even test drive it lol. We bought it from a JDM shop on Industriel owned by Afghans anyways, the moment we drove the car back to his home, I got interested and would read car related stuff non-stop.
That summer I was working as a summer camp instructor and I would get paid like 400$/week. I saved EVERY penny of it and in august, when I had around $3500 cash and started surfing on kijiji/lespac. I found a 1998 Honda Accord coupe, I4 automatic (lol) and told myself THAT'S THE CAR I WANT. Called the guy, didn't even ask him questions and told him i want to see the car tomorrow. he lived in Sorel and I was in Laval and the next morning (saturday) my mom drove me to sorel to see the car. I drove it for like 5 minutes in the parking lot (lol) acting like I knew stuff. The guy was fucking weird (50 years old french guy whos told me he had a japanese girlfriend and they would call each other and speak broken english when I was checking out the car) and he kept saying that I could burn Ferraris on the high way and how much power the car had lol. I was 17 and naive, negociated the price to $3200, went to SAAQ and made the transfer. Most compulsive purchase of my life and what a mistake. When we left SAAQ the guy told me 'good luck with the car and be careful when you drive' :dunno: I didn't think too much about it and 2 days later, check
engine light came on. Then I realized the transmission was fucked up on 3rd and 4th gear and would glitch so much it's not even funny. Anyways I was so mad but I learned my lesson. As I know more about cars, I told the Accord after 10 months. I still wish I could find that guy and rape his japanese girlfriend though
