ahhhh, good choice, 4 doors are better than 2. expecialy if your married and have a "shopping wife" or just for the future. theres nothing like putting a crap load of money/work into a car then having to sell it cuz "its not big enough!"

*insert fart noise here*

money pit? i know what you meen

those are good options, but i wouls also suggest an altima. its smaller than a max, but bigger than a sentra so its good for longer trips/more trunk room needed. but it would still be fun to drive (unlike a mini van lol) my grandmother has a 2000 GLE max and im not a fan. its big heavy and dopy around corners. (yet i have to admit that sucker sounds nice at WOT)

I have an auto. In the summer I was looking at overhauling the motor but I found this sentra for $500 that is all crashed up but the motor is un harmed and in prime condition and is standard, so ill probably end up swaping that in too.

I hear ya. I think about selling mine a lot. More and more things need to be replaced and I only work 8 hrs a week

I just blew a bunch on money on mods, and now stuff is starting to break down that I wasn't expecting. Just can't rationalize selling it when I've put so much money into it. you never get it back. And who knows, maybe I'll end up buying another lemon and have to start over with the same crap.

oh, btw: 200sx auto. wish I had manual, but with city/traiffc driving, sometimes I'm happy that it's an auto. The sr20 engine is still very peppy with AT. I used to have a AT 200sx se, and damn, made me want to cry *no offense to other ga16 owners*

so ya, I don't mind having an auto. At least that's what I tell myself

I hear ya there. I have a B14 with auto and a B13 with a manual which is rusting apart so as soon as I get a motor for my B14 I'm gonna order the few parts that arent compatible between b13 and b14 and swap it over cuz I'm driving the b13 now and I know as soon as I go back to the auto it's gonna drive me nuts missing the manual. Keep your head up. I know James is selling everything needed for the swap for $750 in the classifieds and you could also do what I did which my b13 I got on ebay for $305 in running condition(let alone the fact that it's the SE model). Just gotta keep an eye out for what ya need.

I wanted to find a 200SX Se-r with a 5 spd tranny but the total just hit me 2 hard in the wallet right now ... settled with my b14 sentra ... no performance yet but who knows ... I might stumble on money sooner or later

You want the auto-manual box in the Alfa or like my brothers
Corsa. These are automated Manual boxes with computer operated clutch, F1 style. Why Europe and Asia get these and we don't I don't know.

I don't do anything special with my Sentra so the auto suits me just fine.

Oh well, it's too late now

I usually go with gayamatic, which is what my car is.

The only time I hate having a manual is in gridlock. It sucks having to let the clutch out and then putting it back in every 2 seconds so that you can move up a few feet or so.

Ditto, same thing here. Every single time I'm in traffic I wish I had a auto. Then as soon as I'm out, I hit myself for thinking such an evil thought. It's not much fun being in traffic on bridges around here either, especially when the guy behind you pulls up about an inch from your bumper!!
