1. Just stop spending money.

2. EVO isn't a smart choice if you want to stop spending money.

3. Solution - refer to number 1.

All I've got to say is E-Brake. And if your really pro, heel-toe

Once you drive stick, changing to an auto will be very dissapointing after a while. However, its never the other way around.

^^ No, it isn't an auto. My wife's car is an auto, I haven't had an auto since I was 16.. the racing clutch thing yeah I can agree with, but with a stock 6mt I don't see a need to use the e-brake even in seattle.

WTF? Modding is a disease.... it doesn't discriminate by car. Also, turbo cars tend to be worse.

A say this from experience, but you must learn on your own I guess.

Same here! I remember being nervous when I was first learning to drive MT, on my 1st car.

I still use it every now and then when some dumbass in Seattle rolls up 2" behind me while stopped on a big *** hill. I usually intentionally give a little back-roll before they get to me to give an indication to stay the hell away.

Sup Alvin.

Congrats on new things in your life.

Good luck with all the changes and hope it all works out for you.

To be honest I don't really see a reason why you need to get rid of the Z besides that it's automatic.
If Michelle is getting a G you'll have a perfect car for grocery shopping and there's plenty room on the back for few ppl.



SO And Grow some ***** AT is aint that bad

Cheers

Thanks guys, I definitely love the Z but it's alright. If I wanna see my car I'll just stop by Eric's house! He's just up on the other side of the hill and maybe he will even let me drive it

Could've just got her a G35x minivan!

Having an Evo with AWD won't mean shit in the snow when you're rolling on low-pro high-perf summer tires.
