Hey guys...
didnt know where to put this but here...and i know theres more involving and important things to discuss but id like some feedback...
I've been kinda thinking about this randomly as it pops up in my head when speeding or just looking at mods to personalize my car for me...but to give a background to where im going with this:
My accord...or i like to call arwing (call me geek...) is an automatic. he was subject to autotragic honditis a few months after i found him and decided to give him a second chance...sadly the warrenty was up seeing my mileage was already 120xxx. so it was an out of pocket pay -_-. From then on i put time and effort to care for my car because moms (especially moms) and i worked hard to be able to have such benefits in life to afford a vehicle, so im grateful for that...but since my first car to this one (being my 3rd) were gifts, the stipulation was that itd be an automatic...(the reasons why it had to be automatic ill explain if asked)
now that ive given my story background...
i feel kinda lost trying to spend time and money on a car that has very obvious, easily reached limits (i4 AT being the main one). since im currently raising cash to get either a prelude 4thgen/accord6thgen 5spd (vtec), it seems like a drag when i drive/work/modify my car. everytime i do something new to personalize him, i ask myself, "where will it lead you to? why are you doing this? why would i work on a car i can't drive the way i want to?"
for example: why should i lower my car, put a catback exhaust (or even a fart can), buy wheels n rims, fix the cosmetics if he has no potential to be the car im demanding him to be...not to mention my love for driving stick is driving me mad everytime i put my hand on the shifter...also, i really hate ricearoni and try to do my research on my car as well as all cars in general
im just wondering who else has ever experienced this and what would you do in this situation? (settle and just wait or what?)
p.s. my car is a he....my first was a she (and my would have been gs300 definitly felt like a she)...they just felt different driving wise and my mind just labeled them...no sexist bias reasons or justifications...just personification
