<![CDATA[First New Car]]>Yesterday, i got my first real car. I bought the SRT4 that was on the lot at Corwin. Now i finally have something that can beat a kid on a trike (unlike my slow cavalier). But now the real trick is learning how to drive a manual, cuz i've never driven one before...

I would have just waited and talked to your parents on why they did it. And if you could only afford a Neon SXT I would have just waited a while and got maybe a used car or something.

all i can say is wow. my parents went back on the deal we had. they were gonna pay the down payment, and i was gonna pay the rest. they left me high and dry at the dealer. talk about emberressing...so now i have the sxt neon, which isn't nearly as fast as the SRT4, but still faster then my cavilier. So that brings me to a question. What aftermarket stuff can you do to a neon anyways? I've never been in the aftermarket department before, so i'm wondering what you can do.

Wow that sucks....but at least you still got new wheels. Theres lots of neon forums you could swing through to ask about upgrading and what not 😄

After learning manual you have to learn how to launch.
