I've done it myself, it isn't that hard to do, it just takes more money than what is available. I hate automatics, its driving dumb. Its like because your brain doesn't have to be concerned with shifting and rev matching and clutch and throttle control, there is so much extra "room" But because you are used to thinking about all that jazz, you need something to fill that space, so you get distracted with everything else on the road. Therefore, most stick shift drivers actually drive worse in an automatic than they do in our cars. I'd be willing to bet that if more people drove stick, the roads would slowly but surely get safer..... maybe.....

regardless, i need this auto to last me the next few months until i can afford the swap. this whole getting evicted and having to move a million times and having to save for a new place has sucked up all of our money faster than a 240 could..... and for those that know will agree, thats fast.
