any suggestions? what would you do.

ok, so i have had my bb for about a year now and boy have i had fun it in only problem is its an at.. so im lacking that feel of an mt, im really looking into maybe getting a second car one with a manual transmission ive looked into getting 350z, s2k, mustang etc.. but honestly i cant see my self in anything other then an 8, so that just might be my 2nd car, getting a wwp.

ive entertained the idea of trading in the bb but for an 07 ive put a crazy amount of miles on it, 50,000 to be exact.. so im not looking to get much for it, also its my first car so it has alot of sentimental value to me.. id like to hold onto it

if you were in my position what would you do? im 19 and i work 50 hours a week and im a part time student.i dont have any other bills other then my car, and girl friend... so adding a 2nd 8 wouldnt be too much of a financial problem.


so if you could,... would you?

Me personally? no I wouldnt. If I were doing something like that, I'd get a project car like an rx7. I already have a MT so I wouldnt need the second. But, I would much rather get a MT and sell the AT and put money into the MT 8. Really no reason to have both... Though if it really means that much to you, I guess you can keep the AT.

Dude at 19 there's no real reason to own two cars unless you really NEED one... like maniac said, getting a project car for cheap (MT of course) will satisfy you and you can save up all your 50hr week earnings for a house later down the road... think about it bro

If you didnt marry the first piece you had why apply that logic to your autos. Just trade in your auto for a stick even if you have to get an older 8 than youre trading in. just check svc records, check it out w/ a good tech, and dont let the salesman screw you let him know youve done pricing research.

sell the at and get mt .you will not be able to have enough money for both unless you have a really good job . project car will be the same problem. if you have mods take them out and install in your new ride and enjoy .peace
