Holy crap, another RI member with their first gen at the body shop with a rental neon. Cept I've had mine since Jan17, gah.
I completely forgot about a bit of rust I had, maybe I'll ask them about it before they start painting if I can get by there.
Haha, the steering is really heavy compared to the 2.5, it's a bit of a pain. Mine is pretty good on gas though, beat on it, 25mpg or so, woot!
When the weather gets bad though, the thing is a fucking fight to drive, you had to drive it in any rain/wind yet?

I hope to god you don't have to either, my neon is a rolling death trap, and I hate not having the features of the TL around.
Getting mine back next week, woot.

Safety Car
Thanks for backing me up beebster.
Anyway yeah 3 gears. There's a hill near where Carmax is located. As I was going up the hill with consistent pressure on the gas, the car slowly stopped making any gains so it downshifted. But the downshift put it near redline so it upshifted. It did this charade about three times before I cleared the hill. All without me ever changing accelerator pressure. POS.
