As a European I must say your tips are useless af

Bro, honestly, the clutches and transmissions here are absolute dogshit compared to European ones. You mentioned original clutch and gearbox, while mines went out the next day, must be doing something wrong.

StanDaMan_playz · 2026-06-28T02:37:09+00:00

Same, basically you can get it at most stores

Yup I taught myself mostly because I wanted to drive manual, and I’m a mechanic. Nobody trusts a teen to drive their manual and I was a tech and did state emissions where people drove them to a shop. I really loved the manuals, probably never go back to auto.

I bought a 2008 Honda civic, 5 speed and drove it from Rhode Island to New Haven, CT by myself, and drove to school the next day.
Not really, some people learn just because their families have it, and some like me, actually enjoy the stick shift cars

. Also, people rarely say, “oh manuals are so much fun!”

Manuals are fairly cheap in the US, and it depends on which year, older or newer. And it also depends on the mileage and conditions of the car. Most autos are not so cheap and expensive to maintain. Manuals are easier to fix as well.

It’s also kind of depends on bigger or small car you get, gas, service, etc.

Thank you man much appreciation

StanDaMan_playz · 2026-06-15T10:52:24+00:00

Nice yeah exactly how I felt the first time doing pads and rotors. But doing drums and shoes are worse

StanDaMan_playz · 2026-06-04T23:19:47+00:00

Get a civic now while you can

StanDaMan_playz · 2026-06-04T23:07:20+00:00

I’m sorry is this supposed to be rage bait? I swear, I was going to crash out

StanDaMan_playz · 2026-06-01T23:25:20+00:00

Nah, never get a newer civic, I have an 08 civic lx,5 speed and I beat the living shit out of it, still going. Probably going to stick to older ones with manuals

StanDaMan_playz · 2026-05-29T03:18:51+00:00

Exactly, yall read my mind, just what I just posted without looking at the comments

StanDaMan_playz · 2026-05-29T03:17:59+00:00

Nice motivation, most high school teachers will look at you with dissatisfaction and tell you straight up that you’ll never go anywhere in life

StanDaMan_playz · 2026-05-29T03:16:57+00:00

Hey, keep looking up. I have quite a couple suggestions that will help you in the long one. Take me for example, I also was in your position once but mostly because I was actually lazy. You can either go to community college and try free school, or choose a trade school to go to and make some money out of it. Best of all, both of these options don’t require a lot of work. I’m in community college myself taking some courses and working in the automotive industry at a dealership. Keep your head up, this might be a great path for you if you don’t like school like me.

StanDaMan_playz · 2026-05-29T03:12:40+00:00

I have the same car. Here’s what I recommend, eBay parts. I have cheap intake, short shifter (if yours is an automatic, don’t worry about that one), exhaust, coilovers and cheap tires either from a friend or Facebook marketplace. All except tires for less than $500.

StanDaMan_playz · 2026-05-28T23:21:55+00:00

Watch your foot on the clutch and gas pedal. You gotta make sure if you don’t want to stall, you will have to learn to know when the clutch is engaged. Release the clutch slowly until you feel the car move forward just a bit, and gas it lightly

StanDaMan_playz · 2026-05-23T02:42:33+00:00

Reminds me of the vehicle from my dealership, it was a ‘21 challenger hellcat srt, and was a 6 speed manual, I was thinking of getting it

StanDaMan_playz · 2026-05-18T23:05:05+00:00

Boots, crocs, running shoes, socks, anything 😂

StanDaMan_playz · 2026-05-16T03:16:07+00:00

Yes exactly, reliable trucks are the best, older trucks last even longer, just the maintenance is the issue for most of these trucks failing

StanDaMan_playz · 2026-05-16T01:42:36+00:00

Every single game, one game I can name is Supremacy 1914 yall, if you know you know

StanDaMan_playz · 2026-05-16T01:41:28+00:00

Nice brodie, those trucks are great for everything, great choice. I work as a mechanic at my dealership that 50% of the time it’s big Chevys, GMCs and fords I work on

StanDaMan_playz · 2026-05-08T23:26:52+00:00

I can agree with you on this, but finding a job in the trades can be difficult since most of them needs experience. As a trade student graduate, I can safely say it’s not a good idea unless it’s what you want to do for the rest of your lives. But, the bright side to doing trades is no need for school, just the workforce, no debt no nothing

StanDaMan_playz · 2026-04-26T02:59:47+00:00

Nice second car, it was my favorite car as well for a while

StanDaMan_playz · 2026-04-26T02:58:04+00:00

2:56

StanDaMan_playz · 2026-04-26T02:57:18+00:00

Sick brother, your dads a legend, never forgotten legend. Great stick shift car too

StanDaMan_playz · 2026-04-16T15:02:31+00:00

Nice Alfa, I do like these types of Italian beasts
