You're getting 30 MPG highway and residentially on a vr6? I don't even get that residentially on my 1.8T. I have a 02' VW GTI 1.8T with about 155,000 miles on her.

Had a 2000 xterra that was a ton of fun but man my leg would be toasted after a trip down i5 in traffic. The thing had some great torque with the 4.1 gears, made driving in snow a ton of fun.

yuckyeah of course, im all about having fun with a car. you have an awesome opportunity with that thing, so do whatever you want with it.

just keep in mind theres a difference between a cool car and something an 11 year old would make in need for speed


I never said it was a cool car. I don't even smoke pot. It's just an ironic vehicle.

What's up with NSers' ability to make inferences about things? Has it always been this bad?

Also this thread is a "I just learned to drive stick shit" thread.


If you like to drive stick you like it, if you don't you don't. Pretty straight forward.

Yessir! About 27-28 highway and 31-32 residentially (35-55mph roads). Feather that throttle dawg.

This is exactly why so many girls drive automatics. Someone always forces them to learn on a crappy little 3 speed.

I loved my 3 speed... for the first month. Ended up pulling the engine and dropping a 5 speed in there. It wasn't bad to learn on though.

I'm guessing your 3 speed could go more than 5 seconds without leaking fluids.

DeezyI drive a 2001 BMW 325xi. Its got 230,000 kms. It should have a 6th gear but if it did I would probably get pulled over for speeding every time I get on a highway. Manual AWD is the greatest thing to happen in Canada since maple syrup.


Here she is. I have painted the chrome grill black and it looks amazing.

That's what a jeep should look like, tasteful and rugged. I cannot stand those plastic looking XD wheels, deep dish steels look the best in my opinion.

I didn't believe in true love until I drove this:

I didn't know where to go with the dump truck. Everything I could think of was just too wrong. I think I'm going to hell just for considering posting what came to mind.

That is one sexy mazda. Such a fun car. Not so great in the winter, true, but it certainly keeps things interesting ;)

When I drove one in HS my mom didn't believe in snow tires (????) and I couldn't afford them myself. Driving it to school was scary enough, let alone to the mountain. I've put her in a handful of ditches and snowbanks. I was just saying today how sick of a car it would be if it were AWD.

Thanks man! I love it, my favorite car I've ever drive. Power delivery is just straight up stupid.

Rumor has it the next release is AWD. Forums are coining it "the STI killer"

My parents just bought an Audi S5, in a 6 speed. It got picked up a week after I went to school so I haven't had a chance to drive it yet, I think I'm more excited to play around with it than I am for Christmas. Can't wait for the sound of that supercharged v6.
