I did, mainly because there was absolutely nothing else I could find that I liked and my job is about 30 seconds driving distance


No to mention I have a volvo XC cross country if I need it for the winter trips.

Mine was my first car.

I really wish i had a DD to go along with it though. It really sucks if you go to college 200 miles away.

I'm so glad i got a beater for my first car. Because when i bumbed up to a FD i really appreciated it. I couldn't imagine learning stick on something as sensitive as a 13b. Also a part of me feels like its unfair to the car... Just my opinion though

Let em try, I'll burn em alive with the Fd's flames I like having the FD as the around town cruiser but screw long distances with it. The FD is the most superstitious car I've ever been experienced to or maybe it's just the definition of Murphy's law who knows?

Yea, I do the proper warm up too so all together its about 5 mins an 30 secs to get to work lol. My other job is very far though but thats only when they call me.

From the Northshore all the way to Montauk is quite a fun drive.
