If they were not so expensive to repair, a low cost 97 or 98 with a set of wheels and other little blink would be a very cheap way to look good.

I guess the repair costs would drive me off though.

after having only 1 automatic car, although it had turbo, i swore that ill never in my life ever own an automatic car. every day that i drove it i asked myself what the hell made me get auto, and i sold it 3 months after owning it....never again, more power to those people who can drive like that, i just cant for the life of me, i wanna fall asleep, im bored, i dont know what to do with my right hand, ahhhh, nightmares all over again...

btw, those who have manual cars, when getting into an automatic car, that being your other car or someone else's, do you find yourself trying to find the clutch pedal? (happens to me every single time)
