At green lights, I get left so far behind by normal econoboxes with their CVTs. To keep up I have to shift fast and rev and make all kinds of racket, meanwhile they just whoosh away. Anyway I'm ranting, back to my original question... so is it safe?
Holy shit dude!! Noooo!!
Your car is totaled! Sell it asap!!
I recommend the following: a civic, 240, v6 mustangs, volt or Prius. All in autos, with body kits and vinyl anime wraps.
