04 v8 auto for 10.5k, going to check it out and the carfax and all that jazz, probably going to get it if it all checks out and get her down to 9k for it.
I'm so jealous of you Euro guys. No one has manual transmission cars in the states, and the only reasonable first car that I've found so far that's manual is 300 miles away.
'92 Nissan Pickup 5 speed. Shame it has 220000 miles on it.
"you need that powersteering idle up" they said
"your car will stall" they said
"keep the EGR" they said
"You'll run the 6th cylinders really hot and you'll ping the engine to death" they said
both are not true

its trying to get out
Arrrrrrrr jeep needs some work now after toodays wheelin
Felt insignificant yesterday.
Driving with my GF in her 04 grandma Corolla, I drove past a parking lot with doriftu stuff happening. There was a beater Miata, rollcage and all spinning around light poles and an extremely-stanced 350z show car. I slowed down so I could watch for a few more seconds.
My gf was all ecstatic cause she has never seen drifting in person, let alone believe me when I said there's a whole lot of street racers in our quiet city.
Now there's the problem of getting my own car to doriftu box. Money is really tight and I could use one for a job. It really sucks to live in a country when having a car is second to everyday living

The turbo is going on tomorrow, then we will pulley swap it so it will haul ass. The stuff sitting on it right now is the oil pump, boost guage, Fuel pres gauge, and oil pres guage.
[QUOTE=PandaJuggernaut;35570344]yeah definitely manual the learning curve is negated by like an hour in a parking lot and there infinitely more fun to drive. Also what part of farm country in illinois southern or central? or northern i guess too[/QUOTE]
Kind of centralish. About an hour and a half northeast of Peoria, and about an hour southwest of Joliet.

[QUOTE=PandaJuggernaut;35576658]like the pontiac area?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, Streator to be exact. You from around there?
I'm originally from pontiac I still got family in that area actually. I'm living bout 5 hours downstate now though the marion/carbondale area
Oh, well that's cool, I rarely meet other Facepunch users from Illinois.
yeah same thats why I asked originally.
but anyway back on topic
I have the chance to do a 3400 with a MMS stage 1 3500 top swap for my current motor (2.4l pontiac) and 600$. The 3400 has 58K on it with a new LIM/UIM gasket, eagle H-beam rods and ARP fasteners. My engine has 130K on it but I've replaced /serviced just about everything including a full top end rebuild it also has a Z-spec performance intake manifold,62mm TB, 4 in 1 headers and cold air intake on it. so basically I just gotta come up with an extra 850$ (600 plus 250 for the swap parts) somehow and talk my buddy into taking over his garage for a few days
My sister was looking for a car. She had two cars picked out. Both have exactly the same features except the transmission and color.
2009 Volkswagen Jetta SE - 32000 miles, automatic, white - $15999
2009 Volkswagen Jetta SE - 30000 miles, manual, black - $13989
She bought the automatic.

So I found the Wrangler I test drove and looking at it again, it's pretty badass and having an awesome off roading car would be pretty sweet

My mum has gone and bought a Porsche Boxter, in black, and automatic.
My Step dad has gone and bought a Jaguar XKF, also in black, also automatic.
The automatic gearboxes I can pretty much forgive, but why buy an awesome car and then paint it [i]black[/i]? It's like you don't want anyone looking at it
I like both Automatics and Black cars
