    create a tuner car!

    ok, thi sis a weekly game like Shwans what is it, each monday, I will give you a budget, and a car, and you have to spend the "money" on a car, the parts needed to fix it if it has any problems, and then aftermarket.

    step one
    come to UCP and read the rules for the week. This week the car you have to mod is the Eagle Talon. Your budget in $40,000.

    step two
    go to a site where cars are sold and "buy" a car. post a link to teh page where the car is for sale that you "bought"

    step three
    find a place where replacement parts are sold and buy any parts needed to get the car in top running condition. If you bought a car in pristene running condition, then you can skip this step.

    step four
    go to an aftermarket site and "buy" aftermarket for the car with what you have left over. keep a running total, when you reached 40,000 or cand buy anymore without going over 40,000, you stop.

    step five.
    leave proof, post links to te sites where you "bought" the parts from. and list teh parts you bought. an easy way to do this is after you bought all you need or can afford, you go to cart, copy the items in the cars, and paste them onto your post. You can also post a photoshop of what the exterior would look like after the car is done, you don't have to do this, but you cna if you want to.

    Every Sunday, I post a poll and I list the contenders, adn they have to vote on which car they liek the best. The winner will get to set up the budget and the car. sometimes you can set a "free For All" where the people can choose whatever car they wnat and have a unlimited budget.

    if you have any questions on how to play the game, just PM me.

    Now, start!

    EDIT: it can be a sleeper if you want, it is all up to you.

    oh yeah, since the Eagle Talon is a Mitsubishi Eclipse clone, most Mistubishi Eclipse parts will fit.

    I like the Idea of the game Prius, except who wants to tune an Eagle Talon? Better choice of car and i'd do it.
