Lately I've been thinking about how much I would like a manual. I was contemplating buying a cheap ($500-$1000) older, reliable car to take out every once in a while so I can eventually get used to driving manual. I was looking at late 80's-early90's Honda Civics/Accords or Toyota Celica/Corrola/Camry, since Honda and Toyota are really my most trusted car companies when it comes to older and cheaper vehicles. Basically, I don't car about how the exterior would look, just so long as it ran well, had decent miles on it (<200k) and didn't need much extra repairs. I have thought about a swap, but that takes more time than I'd like..the celi IS my dd.
The whole reason I am looking into a cheaper car w/ manual so I can practice is b/c I figure eventually I am going to buy another car ( sometime after the celi) that is manual and I don't really want that to be my practice car since I plan on it being something nice. opinions are appreciated..thnks -------------------- "A true car enthusiast can see the potential in any car"

well if he does a swap- then he'd be fcuked till he got it down. Especialy with the slopes and Mountains, and those can be tricky for beginers.
Although it would be cost efficient. -------------------- QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 6, 2010 - 6:16 AM) Via FB: fcuking awsome!!! D-man FTW!
