I didnt go oh, well shoot, I might lose, or what's done to it, or man I dunno, how fast have you gone etc. Didnt care. Not enough "dont care" these days. Cars cost too much I guess no one wants to regret wasting all their money and getting beat.

To add to that, I think a lot of the old schoolers are tired of breaking shit and their cars being down all the time. It's nice to have a slower car that starts everytime you want it to and not have to worry everytime you step on the gas if its going to break or not. Throwing that money away gets old after awhile.

I totally agree with that as well... That said, my car has been down more than ANYone's and when it's running, I will be out having fun with it... win or lose. Prob more lose than win, but it will be fun trying!

I think you should plan on putting an auto in that thing. Because by the time you finally get it back on the road you're going to be too old to row gears.

haha very funny.

I can still shift (better than when it ran even), so Im fairly confident I wont forget how or lose my ability in the next year or so.

Besides, Ill have plenty of practice here soon with the vert running.
