you can bribe the auto shop guy to find some secret frame damage.. that'll total it.
I dont owe anyone anything. We had full coverage on it, so im getting $17,900, but we do have to pay the $500 deductable. Im getting another 2003 mazda 6s in about 2 weeks, its pretty sweet. Its actually a step up from my old car. Plus its a stick, mine was an automatic.

Now you will actually be driving, not just steering
Driving a car with a manual transmission is so beautiful, I don't see why people want to be connected to their car through a slushbox.
Sorry for your loss though (the old 6)
kinda hard to feel the car if for the past 2 and a half hours you never break 3k rpms or 1st gear. Traffc here dictated all 3 of my cars trannys. The newest to my collection doesn't have a manual tranny option and thats my story...zverg said:(first) (first) (first) (first) (first) (first) (first) (first) (first) (first) (first)

The bad thing is that i dont know how to drive a stick! None of my familys cars have ever been a stick. But my rents are still leery on whether i should buy a 5 speed or not. I cant wait, my rents get back in 3 days from florida and then its off to buy my new car, ive been driving a mini-van for the past month, its gonna be so nice to get back into a real car!

You'll learn. I knew the motions and all before I got my car and had driven my friend's jeep wrangler a few times and then I picked up my car and had to drive 3.5 hours home from the Mazda dealership
I didn't even drive the car for the test drive because I wasn't comfortable doing it. Now it's completely smooth and natural and it just feels weird whenever I drive an automatic.
yea, i hope it just comes naturally. My best friend is gonna teach me tomorrow night(he drives a BMW), but we'll see how that goes, its gonna be a pretty funny experience cuz i have no idea what im doing, ive shifted for him before, but never used a clutch. Im excited though, cuz i really wanna learn!
Tell me what you think... i hope its not gone by the time my rents get back.
