ive had my '97 ST auto for about one year now. the past month ive been learning to drive my friends 5-speed Geo Tracker (haha its a piece). FINALLY my other friend with a '94 GT manual let me drive his car for $3 around the neighborhood. oh its such a good feeling going from a ST auto to a GT stick. later on that night he let me drive it on main roads and the highway (didnt even do that in the tracker) cause i let him drive my car which i have no idea why he wanted to do that. anyway, just thought id share my first experience driving a GT.

my brother's '96 civic EX tranny started slipping at like 130k, but he drove the piss out of that thing constantly. should i expect about the same lifetime? my plans are to keep the celi forever (at least a long time). just when something goes out (tranny, engine, etc) just put something better in.
