id do what trav says if you owe on it and have a mind set to eventually trade it dont do anything to it, you may get away with a pop charger and an exhaust if you really want it since youll have it for awhile at least itll sound good for you and you wont get bored. but the more you put into it the more of a money pit it becomes.

I still owe on my car but i do not ever plan on getting rid of it, hence why ive done what ive done to my car

that was the plan until i drove my buddy's suby. I know, "eww subaru" but it made me realize, holy ****, i'm driving an automatic sports car.

Now there's the fact that I have no idea where I'll be going to college but for the next two years anywhere I go is traffic (Ft Belvoir/DC area)

I had originally not planned on ever getting rid of it either, and putting the stick in myself in the future, but I wasn't sure I wanted to wait that long to get a standard.

I'm from the land of lawnmower civics and stock blue suby's with gold spray-paint rims.

I may be a bit biased on the subject...

Lol'd.

OT though, I'm talking to someone about trading for a 6mt. I'll be taking about 1k financial loss, but I like the colour more, and I won't have to deal with every time I put something on it wondering "but what if it was an auto.." and this way I know I'll keep her.
