Since im in desperate need of my car back, and the mustang is toast, thinking of taking out a small personal loan from my bank. It'll let me build credit whilst getting my 7 back. I'll be able to get the engine (not reman like atkins but a fellow member or parts trader deal), belts, hoses, tires, and odds like paint and anything else that comes up.



dad says finance a RX8, i say can u spell i-n-t-e-r-e-s-t



lol

Driven one yet?

Ya, wasnt impressed but as another member pointed out, i drove an auto.

do yourself a favor and check out the manual. its a whole other beast.

yea but i cant see a 19yr old with no credit getting approved for an 8 lol, evem wit my dads awsome credit.



I dont know that i would want a manual, its OK but for everyday driving its a little bit of a hassle.

Manual is the only way to go, anything else feels too disconnected from what the car is doing, and don't let anyone try to tell you it is too much work for everyday driving, unless you have a massa pressure plate, and a 6 LB flywheel, it is no problem at all.

Revvin to 9K is definately worth it.



Also, once you get really used to manual, its just second nature. The people who complain about it being a hassle for everyday driving are either old or aren't good at it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

I'm just afriad ro get manual and then regret it. And ive only done it it a few times.



Things to think bout while im bored at work ina hour lol.

You will never regret manual - over here 95% of cars are manual and no-one wishes they drove an auto - If my sister can handle it you can. BTW the one time I drove an auto i hated it, it felt so unnatural without a clutch.

Driving a manual makes you a better driver. You have to be more aware of your situation, and it carries over into awareness of your surroundings.



And you will never regret it. Think of it as a challenge to be overcame. In the end, all the hard work will be worth it.
