    Yesterday, i got my first real car. I bought the SRT4 that was on the lot at Corwin. Now i finally have something that can beat a kid on a trike (unlike my slow cavalier). But now the real trick is learning how to drive a manual, cuz i've never driven one before...

          sticks are so much more fun than manuals. My next car has to be a manual again. I miss it so much!

          We've come to the point where no extraordinary preformance can occur without the presumption that someone has cheated.

              Congrats on the new ride.

              After learning manual you have to learn how to launch.

                  Congrats on the ride!...your never going to want to go back to an automatic ever again, once you get the hang of the manual.

                      that is excellent, what color is it? you've seriously never driven a manual before? wow... kiss that clutch good-bye 😉 i think winter is a better time to learn to drive a manual because it's easier on the transmission with ice and snow instead of grip

                                  all i can say is wow. my parents went back on the deal we had. they were gonna pay the down payment, and i was gonna pay the rest. they left me high and dry at the dealer. talk about emberressing...so now i have the sxt neon, which isn't nearly as fast as the SRT4, but still faster then my cavilier. So that brings me to a question. What aftermarket stuff can you do to a neon anyways? I've never been in the aftermarket department before, so i'm wondering what you can do.

                                    he tried but he was drunk and wasnt a very nice teacher. It was just one night after the bar and we had both been drinking. But he was really drunk. It was with his old white talon the one jeremy has. It was in the winter. It wasnt a good time...lol

                                      Wow that sucks....but at least you still got new wheels. Theres lots of neon forums you could swing through to ask about upgrading and what not 😄

                                        Did you have to get a car right away?

                                        I would have just waited and talked to your parents on why they did it. And if you could only afford a Neon SXT I would have just waited a while and got maybe a used car or something.
