You must be a pretty smart guy if you're in school for mechanical engineering. My suggestion would be not to waste ALL of your money on something that will be 4 years old by the time you get out of school. I'm sure you'll have a bunch of school loans to pay off.

Sweet, I'm also going into mechanical engineering next year, just have to finish my last year of college in pure sciences.

How is it? Fun? I will be going into automobile specialty.

Stuff will still be available, I'm sure there will be things you can't get though.

My previous car (until a year ago) was a 1989 Sonata and I didn't have any trouble with parts.
3 come to mind - Rubber strip on underside front of hood, rear window regulator and driver's door switch module for windows and doors.
All were reasonably priced at the dealer and longest wait was 4 days.

well i'll be starting my 4th out of 5 yrs in october. the first 2 sucked, the last one was alright, but in the nest two years i'll be taking various courses to get my automotive powertrain concentraition, so like some one above stated i hope to be making my own products soon after i get out. my loans however will be huge seening as its $25/yr for my school.
