I know, I know, you guys already know how to drive/were born with a heel-toe to die for etc
but this was more exciting than graduation.
it was more exciting than fucking my sister's friend after prom.
it was better than driving a half-ton underpowered pickup that needs new tires.
so yeah, post auto feels.
>tl;dr I'm not as shit at driving as I was 2 weeks ago and I'm happy.

Good job, dude
If I took my fox body to 5k on every shift I'd get arrested.

I'm in an Integra GS-R, I think it sounds nice (it's completely stock from the head unit to the alloys)
but it's not anywhere near as loud as any V8 or even most V6's.
The sound the engine makes dropping revs when I shift into the next gear gives me goosebumps.
>>14879581
It's cool I learned on an Accord but now that I have two small block V8s I'm sure I'd stall a 4 banger constantly if I hopped in one right now.

I actually wanted a fox as my first car, I just have criteria when buying used. I prefer the best condition exterior (Interior has to be bearable but it's easier to swap seats than it is a front panel)
mileage is iffy, I prefer under 100k miles but if the price and options are right I'll go up to around 120k miles.
Only foxes that fit that criteria were 4+ hours away. Still want one as my second car, but I dunno.
I also want an NA miata, an MR2 (80's-90's, not the newer ones) and a 300ZX so I'm stuck deciding between those.
falling for the manual meme was the greatest thing that's ever happened to me.
thanks /o/.
>tfw power-shifting an old rwd shitbox hard enough to chirp the tires when grabbing second and third gear
I don't know why its so fun to beat the living shit out of a car, but literally nothing is more fun than hooning as hard as physically possible and sliding around corners. Its impossible to do this without smiling
>>14880174
Hooning around in a shitbox is the funnest thing ever.
My shitbox is starting to skip though, which makes it annoying as fuck.

>>one day my buddy brings Need For Speed Carbon over
Ohhh man. I loved that game like a son. Muscle for LIFE. FOR LIFE.

Starting to skip?
