damn, you were pushin stix since I was two....respect to the old wisdom :killer:

 

i wasnt even born in 78. but i have never ownd a auto. CL is 5 spd my RX is 5 spd my old mazda truck was 5 spd my old fiat was 5 spd. thats all ive had so far.

 

i used to have an automatic... NEVER AGAIN..

 

had two autos my very first green 1st gen cl and a 97 accord but thats it

 

alot of younger people around here cant even drive MTs. i and i hate when a g/f asks to drive my car. i say no and they get all bitchy. then they say something about you can teach me how to drive a stick. im like no bitch i like my transmission just like it is, working. and then i realize it was an inuendo, but its already too late.

 

WELL ALOT OF YOUNGER PPLX DUN'T REALLY LYKE THE ACURA CL... THEY LYKE INTEG, CIVIC, HATCH EK/EG... ETC.... I THINK THE CL LOOKS A LIL BIT MORE MATURE IF YAH KNOW WHAT I MEAN ... IF YOU KEEP IT LOOKIN CLEAN THAT IS... YEAH THERE IS ALWAYS OLD PPLZ Lol WHEN I CATCH UP WITH OTHER CL'S IT'S USSUALLY A OLD PERSON.... THERE ARE A FEW IN THE BAY AREA THAT ARE MODED .... A COUPLE IN WHICH THAT ARE NOT ON ACURAZINE...

 

theres quite a few nice ones from the bay area on here

....take it easy with the caps lock there buddy...

 

my ears are ringing...

 

dang, now I really feel old!

actually I had sticks before that, just had an automatic in between, started driving in 72, got my first stick in 73. I really wish this car wouda come in a 6 speed manual!!

 

 

yeah yall had mostly fours back in the day didnt you. this old fiat X1-9 i used to drive had a 4 spd. 1st and reverse was like a VW straight drive.
(R.1.3)
(...2.4)
that was a fun car to drive. the mirrors were on the front fenders beside the hood and the rear view mirror went all the way across the windsheild. it was a MR 1300cc engine. dont know what that is in ci or litres though.

 

Yeah you couldn't find a 5 speed until the mid 80's unless you had big bucks. The fours were OK though!

 

I'm in Alberta, Canada. The insurance company told me just about any big city will have higher insurance rates than out in the country. I pay $85 a month with 1 million in liability, collision and comprehensive, which is not even a lot anymore if I cause a bodily harm accident and I get sued. I would actually like to get two million in liability with the house as well.. Loan companies usually make people buy collision as well to cover their own asses if there is a wreck. Your rates should go down considerably once you turn 25.

I don't see how the CL would be more than the MR2.. you could shop around with insurance rate engines and compare the two of them again with multiple companies. $218 doesn't sound too far out of line, I know one 19 year old girl who's paying $300 a month on a Sunfire (could be an accident she never told me about, she's a spoiled rich girl and the car was given to her) and one with a Chrysler Intrepid who pays $270, neither of them sporty cars. Civics are always a lot to insure, especially in Calgary which has a young population and lots of 20 years olds driving Civics and Integras.

Mileage per year makes a difference, so does neighbourhood and about 20 other things. Golfs and Jettas are safe but always a lot to insure because of what the parts cost.
