    I have to start looking at another car soon once I can confirm the problem with my current car.

    Might as well get ideas now.

    Any cheap and reliable cars that you guys recommend? Domestic or Foreign don't really care to be honest. And by cheap anywhere from 1K to about 3 or 4?

    Any fast and cheap cars? Something I can use in both the summer or winter? I'll really miss that supercharger on the Grand Prix, I am hoping I can find something that has a Supercharger on it.

    Eh, my main concern is that it's reliable, something I don't have to keep dumping money on. I'd like to actually start saving lol.

    No Manuals, can't drive them D:

    Learning is a different story. But to buy a car to specifically learn on it and then it when I do learn it is honestly going to be a pain, especially for someone who works, goes to school, and pretty much needs a car every single day of the week D: I would love to though, there are so many cheap manuals it's not even funny.

    Well the only other cars i can think of with superchargers on them are a cobalt SS and mustang cobra/ford lightning. You could just buy another w-body.

    So depending on exactly what's wrong with the car, and how much I can end up getting out of it, if it really is a sprung bearing, I was looking into 02-03 maximas.

    Anyone own one of those before?

    Corolla?
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
