Manual for everyday driving?

i have rented from enterprise before.

it was a rental while my car was in for repair, i dont know if that makes any difference, but i would doubt that it would.

and im fixing to rent again while my car goes into the body shop.

there has never been an issue with it before though, no questions asked. i thought it was odd though, because i had always heard about the 24 or 25 year old age minimum to rent, but i was able to do it. they just needed my DL number, and a credit card number.

i believe there resoning is that most people under 25 carry as little insurance as possible, so they just make it a rule

either that or they dont like us..

I figure if you are insured, why would they care?

They still have to deal with your insurance company incase anything happens and its a hassle.

I think they go off of statistics and are willing to lose a little business to not deal with the hassle of increased insurance claims filings.

I will say I hate enterprise! Stupid bishes got 53 extra dollars out of us because of a god dam wind protector under the car broke.......................before we got the car! I even told the lady that there was a plastic thing under the car (there is a specific name for it, not coming to me) that looked to be broke. She said it has been noted! Umm humm, whatever!

If you've never owned a quick car its worth doing for the experience. I went from a quick car to a piss slow truck just recently and I don't miss the quick car all that much to be honest. Less chance of tickets when it takes you 3 days to get to the speed limit.

around me you can rent a car if you're under 25, it just costs like twice as much...

i rented a car under my name to go to new york last year and i was only 22 then...

and the reason they don't have sticks, is probably because not everybody can drive them, and if they only have like one car left, they don't want to lose business because someone cant' drive the car they have. just my guess.

Back to the original focus...

I don't know if you decided to go with manual over auto yet, but are you seriously going to pass up getting a manual for your daily driver because you are too lazy or pussy to drive it at certain times? Like I was mentioning, once you become accustomed to driving manual, it's no big deal at all. I can drive my car when I'm stoned and halfway asleep (I don't make a habit of this, just using it as an example) without even thinking about what I'm doing.

And one time, my car even helped me get a little tail. Some chick I had been talking to for a little while wanted to know how to drive stick //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif Fast forward 15 minutes through my car making noises I didn't know it could make and me nearly getting a concussion from my head hitting the dash board, and this bitch is slobbing my knob like SBlazer trying to get that last little bit of chicken off a thoroughly eaten drumstick.

You are obviously buying the Evo for a reason. Buy the manual and drive the car like it supposed to be driven. Why would you ever buy an automatic sports car. It doesn't make sense.

ive drove an auto since my 1st car, just get in and go, no problems with hills or traffic, i just wanted to know in the long run how most feel about it

if i didnt get a evo or sti i dont really know what else i would want, so hence im trying to see about manuals

I have done it every single day for the past 2 yrs. no problem. It sucks on hills and stuff (which I'm around alot) and stop and go traffic, but it's more fun. Just do it
