in that case i would think. lets say your engine does go right after you did upgrade your system, would u have enough money to fix it with out having to sell your stuff? in your case i probably would just not do anything to the car that you could not take out or off incase you engine blows and you decide to buy a new car.

if its a 4.0 sohc with under 250k it will last a WHILE.

Oh god I love Manuals. I can't go without one. Maybe I would settle for a Chevy 'Hoe. I like them a lot. I may just keep the audio that I have, and sell Betty and add the $3000 to it to grab a nice dubbed out SUV.

If I still lived in Florida I'd have gotten a manual. When you have enough open road space to punch the pedal, driving a stick is BEAUTIFUL. In the city it sucks, though. Your clutch takes way too much abuse. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

4.0 Overhead valve w/ 149k. Got maybe another 100k? My dad had it before and he blows at owning a vehicle. It's awful how he "takes care" of them. I hate it how he got $3000 from the insurance company to fix the place where someone hit him, but gambled and smoked it all away. He keeps them clean, he just doesn't keep them running.

Well, I live in Charleston, and there is a lot of open roads. And driving Betty IS beautiful here.

I'd keep the money to get the car working properly and if you could sell it locally, use that money to buy something better here

manuals are fast off the line vs the auto models
Unless you have an auto built for 550 hp like me.

dude.... you drive a 97 explorer... who cares how fast it is? if you want fast, get a car. and besides, adding 3grand in audio equipment may decrease your 1/4mile time..//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif:laugh://content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif:laugh:
