I know this but I have friends that help me on stuff. they know about cars and stuff but I keep forgetting to ask them the questions that im posting on here. Mostly because I was gonna buy this kids escort that he put stuff on but then decided not to and he got pissed and said he was gonna cut me so i told him to go ahead and he never talked to me again. ---

If you dont know what boost is, then you really must not be a car person. Id have to say a GTP would be a perfect starter car. Reasonably quick to start, oh so easy to mod, and oh so easy to make faSStTT Is it a pontiac GTP because when I look for it on [autotrader.com](http://autotrader.com) i cant find it as a model. ---

pontiac grand prix GTP or u can go the regal GS route, but they tend to be more money… not sure why, they are pretty much the same cars. ---

swap means you take a car that has a shitty engine, and buy an engine that is good, and swap the two so you then have a good car with a good engine ie: nissan 240sx with a KA ( gay truck engine ) engine getting swapped so its a nissan 240sx with a SR ( leet jdm stylez ) engine ---

I wasn’t gonna buy a super fast car and then go race it after I put the plates on. ---
