ok, well you options do limit quite a bit with auto. do they even make an auto R3?

 

it's because you've spent SO much time driving an Auto. I was like that as well when I got my first Manual. It was an '86 Mazda B2000 with power NOTHING.
IT was odd having to shift, anytime I got near a hill I was a bit worried, but drive by drive, day by day I just got more used to it.
Now it's kinnda funny because I'll get in a car and when I go to start it, my leg naturally goes looking for the clutch.

 

Ha, I learned to drive a stick when I was 17. I had a used car, and my dad was looking for something more reliable for me.
He came to my work, picked up my junkie car, and returned later w/ a Ford Ranger.
Gave me the keys and said, "Do you know how to drive stick?".
I said, "Nope." He said, "Well you better learn if you want to get home."

 

i do that in my rx4, clutch foot thru the floor board

 

that's AWESOME! sounds like something my dad would have done to me!
I drove the truck for YEARS till some biotch T-boned my dad when he borrowed it one day.
I upgraded to a Pontiac Fiero after that. That little V6, 4 speed manual ROCKED!
(although the rear engine was a P.I.T.A. to work on)

 

I was 12. We were in the middle of the desert with a dune buggy.
Dad threw me the keys and said "figure it out"


I feel bad for all the cactus I killed that day

 

poor cactus never knew what hit 'em

 

^^^
I was potty trained on cactus too.
They hated me.


But I am sure glad I had good balance. Can you imagine falling forward in to that?

 

Especially, falling into that, after you're done.

 

I should have seen that comment coming.

 

Hey guys, anyone coming to the meet tomorrow morning?

 

kwescott mentioned something of it but i doubt he is coming (just speed and viper), jake you going!?

 

I am dropping an engine tomorrow.

 

don't drop it something might break..

the guy i bought my car from did not tell that
the battery was no good.. now i have to buy
a new battery, and it's only a year old. but the car
was not being used so i guess the battery just died.

 

It is a 5S-FE from an MR2.
Time to learn how to rebuild an engine.

 

it's easy i used to rebuild chevy's and fords.
also some Japanese engines. but that was long
ago. now i just sit back and listen, cause the new
stuff is way over my head. if i took it apart i could
put it back together, now it's just to much crap.

 

Wheather it matters or not here is the full song list for GH4http://justjared.buzznet.com/2008/09/12/guitar-hero-world-tour-set-list/

 

Kev, you may find some GREAT deals on 08 40th Anniversary models in automatic. that totally seems like your color & style. and, it's a great looking car. (did i mention how awesome the interior is?)

at least go take a look at them before ruling them out.

 

r3 is manual only.

40th anniversary has old body style

09 has some subtle changes, but they are nice, imo

 

not accordingly to mazdas website. there was a 40th aniv, regu 09 at romero yesterday. they also has 2 ms3 there for 26K cheaper then the 8. they also has a 2-09 mazda 6 in the showroom. but that is all i saw.

 

the 40th ann. has the 2009 "Engine" but the 2008 body style

 

yeah, stay away from the 40 anniversary if you want the new body style.

 

if you want a R3 you have to go to any dealership nd have them do a inventory serch for you and then if you are serious get them to transfer the car or go to the dealership that has it in stock

 

so how were the races?
