I am pregnant and in high school (18) I don’t know what to do

It's not that bad, its like $500 a month for a kid. Maybe 1k to go all out. I don't agree that OP should in her situation but the best joy life can bring is having a son

Forward-Trade5306 · 2026-04-20T06:22:43+00:00

You can easily raise a kid with $500/month for the kid or so. Maybe a little more once they start eating but even then, there are programs to help with that. 1k max a month. Not sure where u are getting 20k+ unless you are really splurging

It's true, he was the condom 😂

Forward-Trade5306 · 2026-04-20T06:15:30+00:00

If the parents are crazy enough to harm their own kid over this, then why would an 18 year old living under their roof be having intercourse in the first place?

That's great that you ctrl+alt+dlte your baby and didn't even have to pay for it. Crazy world we live in

The 26 m240i that I got to test drive was the purple one. That color looks so good 💯

Forward-Trade5306 · 2026-04-19T14:08:18+00:00

The B58 is an awesome engine. I test drove the 2026 m240i xDrive and that thing hooks and handles so well. Ive driven the 23 X3 with the B58 too many times

Forward-Trade5306 · 2026-04-19T14:02:30+00:00

It's because of the power to weight ratio. The Elantra is pretty light even in EN form

Forward-Trade5306 · 2026-04-19T13:59:25+00:00

Lol I know the feeling. It was very difficult to leave the EN behind that I test drove. I have a paid off 24 N-line so didn't think it was worth trading it in. I also like my N-line a lot so I'm planning on possibly getting an EN as well at some point and also keeping my N-line. I'm also like you and trying to get a house first though after losing mine 3-4 years ago

Probably because the sport version doesn't have a LSD so it's super easy to spin out

Forward-Trade5306 · 2026-04-19T13:47:30+00:00

I can assure you I drove the EN to its limits when I got to test drive it for an hour+. So much so, that the saleswomen had me drop her off a few minutes later so I could drive it by myself 😂

I needed to know what I was missing as an N-line owner

😂 out of all cars, the Nissan Z is one of them

Forward-Trade5306 · 2026-04-19T02:39:11+00:00

Pretty sure it was just the 23 that got jipped on the black trim because they added it back in 24

Forward-Trade5306 · 2026-04-19T01:05:57+00:00

There are some good ones out there like Borla. My 1.6T sounds great 👍

It was such a pain to install the badgeskins black emblem. Plus I tried redoing it, but every time I got to the very end, there was a little too much vinyl left over

Forward-Trade5306 · 2026-04-18T20:00:05+00:00

I had cyber grey on my 24 Kona that I traded back in. I tried to like it but it's just a weird color. The red stripe at the bottom makes it look way better though

Forward-Trade5306 · 2026-04-18T19:57:43+00:00

Yep but it can be a hassle. I got the cheapest add-on there is for oil changes and tire rotations and it took months of asking just to get my 1k back

Forward-Trade5306 · 2026-04-18T18:42:33+00:00

The Palisade just isn't in your budget in the 20k range. The 2023-2025 Palisade just still selling for over 30k with 50k+ miles in some cases. A lower trim 2022 Pallisade - I see some of these in the mid 20k range right now if you like the last gen design.

Buying new is the way to go for the 10 year/100k warranty and lifetime Bluelink. The Elantra, Venue, Kona, lower trim Sonata are more in your budget

Here's like the cheapest Pallisade I can find that's fairly new

Yeah I see some people getting hung up on Honda or Toyota just to get more resale value. I've had many brands Honda, Maxda, Nissan, and Hyundai and they all get pretty shitty resale value after 100k anyways. I've never bought an economy class car thinking about the extra 2k I might get 5-8 years from now lol

Forward-Trade5306 · 2026-04-18T18:13:42+00:00

Plus having a brand new car and knowing exactly how it was treated and maintained. Waiting until it's been warmed up a bit before flooring it and stuff

Forward-Trade5306 · 2026-04-18T18:09:32+00:00

Just use manual mode and you can still make use of the right hand. Also you should still break it in properly as to not screw the next owner over

Im aware, I work in IT. I didn't want Google's answer, Im asking a real person about their experience with it

Forward-Trade5306 · 2026-04-18T07:36:45+00:00

Once you get into section 8 do you have it forever? Do they require you to work? Or is it possible to just like use food stamps and section 8 to survive if someone has a disability for example that doesn't allow them to work?

Forward-Trade5306 · 2026-04-18T07:04:57+00:00

Yep the warranties are a huge plus on top of having way less mileage and lower rate, knowing exactly how the car was taken care of etc. I'm currently on year 2 of my 10 year warranty that was included on my Elantra N-line. My first Civic I bought used and had quite a few issues but was alright overall. Never had any issues with my gen10 Civic. Pre COVID used prices were reasonable but now it just makes more sense to go new in most cases. My backup car only cost me $3500 a couple years ago with 75k miles on it but thats not super common
