You say that now but wait 10 years when you need a part and your local pull-a-part center has 3-4 of these suckers on the lot because they offered Automatics for little Suzy Q blondie.
Yes, I plan on owning this car for that long....longer even.
The ONLY thing (and yes, this is the only thing) that sucks about owning an AE86 (Actually I take that back, its kind of a perk too) is how rare they are to find NOT in the hands of an enthusiast. Getting used OEM parts can be a BITCH, usually have to look to more expensive aftermarket.
Not only that but the huge AE86 core fan group is in SoCal, and 90% of them are either:
A) too lazy to ship even a sensor across the country
B) won't because they're greedy assholes that keep parts local and bone the rest of U.S. AE86 fanbase.
