Hey, be glad it's not an FWD where the clutch is basically between your legs... and you KNOW where the shards will go.

I had a Neon ACR for over 13 years. It was quite capable, all things considered. Different. In many ways, a lot less forgiving of mistakes. I'm still making sense out of bad habits I picked up trying to get faster in that car though... It was horribly uncomfortable as a daily though, at least as set up for decent handling - my wife avoided me driving just because it was so jarring. People that put gobs of boost would talk about the clutch risk. Some added a steel plate.

Got a nice long cruise in the car today. Much more comfortable and I don't miss the Neons. The car is now over 500 miles too, it'll almost be broken in according to the Japanese manual (1000km not mi) before I get the header and tune installed (only because I have no idea what is in the tank, and I want to be sure it's 93 for the tune...) Got it with just over 300 miles (it was supposed to be ~200 delivered, since they had to bring it in) but someone somewhere really messed up... 3rd time driving this one, ever. Still nervous - my shoulders/back are messed up from tension.

Can attest to this. Rode with a buddy at the track the other day in his EG hatch and he spent more time sideways in 1 session then I did all day lol

I had to get another car for ubering. Paying payments and insurance for both. I won't be ubering so much (or at all, maybe) once I finish my MBA in may and get a "real" job.

I guess I mean, because it would be financially easier on me right now if I sold it.

But I do love this car.

Were you that affected by the wreck? I'm sorry.
