Ya get a old school truck
Or you could get some classic muscle, automatic transmissions are actually preferred in a lot of old domestics.PioneerLS

Im not a truck person what so ever. A big useless bed with bad gas mileage and a small engine that can only seat 1-2? no thanks....
im leaning a lot more towards a trans am/mustang gt/grand prix gtp
i feel like by the time i modded the grand prix to be as fast as a stock trans am it would get the same gas mileage anyway lol. but i dont know yet if id regret getting a v8 that uses gas mileage, cause a trans am is probably my favorite looking car with a super badass engine in it as well.
i might wait til after i get out of school or something and get one. hmm.
edit: its worth noting my grandma has a 2008 crv i can share with her most of the time, besides right after school. I drive to school right now, thats why i might wait. But the again, my school is a only 2 minute drive away....

i could go for an accord. but most nearly all of them are either cloth or that ugly gold color. id only get black if i had to settle for one. hm.. i could wait until may of next year and then i will be getting like 800+ disability checks a month, but idk if my teg will last that long. its at 165k miles and the tranny like slips kinda but only going up hills or under heavy accel. it does it kind of consistently like it never gets worse or better. so idk. i wanna be able to get at least 2k out of it before i get a new car whenever the time comes.

I only read the first two pages but my mom actually has an 06 grand prix with the supercharged 3.8. We have an extra engine sitting around cause we thought the first one blew. Turns out the flex plates in those things suck. Engine was fine. Now we have an extra. Also
Turns out swapping the supercharged 3.8s into fieros is popular. And fieros can be had for about 500-1000 around here. Should make for an interesting project.

No fucks given.
So.... Again, why not keep the Integra and change out the tranny? Like why is it a necessity to have a fast car, if you need something that you can drive everyday? Slowness keeps cops from bothering you.
Not trying to be a dick, just trying to understand since my Integra made a nice daily driver before the engine took a dump on me.

i mean sometimes when i actually need the extra speed the integra is just seriously way too slow. like when im merging or something and i floor it i expect it to downshift and give me some extra power, but half the time that doesnt happen and the times that it does happen the tranny just makes it look bad with its slow ass gear changing.
im pretty set on getting a grand prix gtp for now, like a 4000 dollar one or around that. and then in a year or so when i start getting my disability checks i can save those up and get a newer car or something.
i would just change out the tranny but 1200 dollars is something i dont want to put into a car that isnt exactly making me happy lol.
