Honestly? Burn it and collect the insurance money for something with a real transmission and drivetrain.

Is it your car or your parent's car? I'm assuming the later, in which case you should talk to them about finding something a little less mobile-refrigerator for you to drive.

i guess you're right. technically it's my parents car. I'm trying to convince them for a different car since that one has 98K miles on it...

buy yourself a nice huffy or schwin. It might look better. no but seriously i would just save up for something better looking. judging by what you drive now you shouldnt get anything too fast. it might be too much for you

This POS is too slow for me tbh. i have some track experience so i have a little experience on how to handle power.

ATM i am just practicing doing corners with the e-brake

EDIT: in a safe environment of course!

good advice, it's hard to stay out of trouble in such a boring city though :\

and it's hard to get a job at a young age these days...

Turn it into a Rallycross/TSD Rally car. I would say turn it into a Spec car but I don't think the Spec Neon class exists anymore.

Wait, crap, nevermind, it's an automatic. Jump it off a cliff or something.
