[quote=ImaClubYou]@ishottedsnow2: Oh don't worry. My first time in a manual car..... nightmare. I stalled 50 times before I even got the car to move a single foot. It's like tying a shoe. You can never figure out how to do it traditionally unless you watch and get taught how. Once you get the stick shift, you'll never forget. I usually stall once or twice a year these days, normally in slow moving areas or reallllyyy steep hills.

Though, transitioning from one car to a totally different one could prove a slight challenge. All cars feel different. In a stick shift, the clutch and stick have different feels ranging from soft shifting to hard as well as pressure on the clutch can shift earlier on release.[/quote]

Bit late here, sorry :x But, i'll tell you the story of my first drive, legally (had a few hours illegally). It was pretty funny, there was a guy who was behind me on this long road, he was like 20 feet behind me at all times. I started speeding up, went from second to third, but instead i downshifted to first accidentally. My entire car just like shuddered and yeah you know what it's like. For the rest of the time, the guy behind me stayed at least 90 feet behind me :L. I seem to be on okay terms with my car now. Stalled the first time trying to hill start (on a busy road), I was so nervous :X

lol i think i've seen this car online before. Go figure
Probably those caps.

Just recently installed fog lights in my car. Wiring the lights through the car was such a pain in 100 degree weather.

List of what I've done so far:
Sti Lip
Fog Lights
18% Tint all around
Plastdip rims/emblems
Interior LED

[quote=DrHye]@lettucing: That's really surprising, considering how most new non-hybrid sedans are generally still in the high 30s in terms of mpg. I'm not doubting you, I'm just wondering how on earth you're doing it[/quote]

tiny engine (1.0L 3 cylinder) combined with a tiny "unsafe" car lol. it's so basic there's no air conditioning or power steering, don't need it! i heard mitsubishi is coming out with a 3 cylinder car in the US for 2014, and apparently a ford fiesta version is too. pretty excited, even though i can't afford one now!

these cars are going to nickel & dime me to death!

I think manual is a good first car actually. I started off like that and I can drive any car no sweat. Though... sometimes I fear that I might try to shift a automatic car sometimes and my left foot tends to float in midair, lmao.

@Zoneflare4: He said it really depends on the state of the car... o.o his is practically new I guess and he seems to know the guy so he only paid 200$ but i guess it can be much much much much more... he even thinks about getting a 2nd car now since his is paid off.... <-<" I'm sure he'd get that detailed for 200$ too lol

@ImaClubYou: went crazy with the plasti dip lol. mirin everything but the decal stickers.
@natalie: I feel you. I was completely ignorant about it as well but luckily there are so many resourceful forums and guides that it makes everyone an engineer.

Coilovers, side skirts, fog lights, and hid kit
Hopefully future mods. Anyone else got any suggestions?

@Nashi: yeah car detailers use lots of them and dont really use gloves so that they can do an even better job often ruining their hands for that killer tip. My neighbor got to detail an NFL players car before he said and got a $200 tip.
