I can finally stop all the obsessing

For those of you that are wondering why I'm buying this car, here they are.
1. I can't drive stick well, and frankly I can't honestly consider myself a car guy unless I can drive stick (well).
2. I've been slowly building up my car repair skillz, and there's no better way to learn that than to fix a beater yourself.
3. My Front wheel drive six is great, but being front wheel drive has a bit of an understeer problem.
4. In order to fix #3 I'd have to start messing with the 6, and frankly I can't afford having a broken car at this point in my life. Additionally it's still well within warranty, and frankly I'd prefer not to void that before I have to.
5. For the sheer fun of it. I rarely do anything that is completely dumb. I'm young, I'd be kicking myself for years to come if I didn't jump at this opportunity. My dad did this when he was young, now it's my turn.

That's enough of me talking myself into purchasing the car (mostly necessary because of #5).

Dave.
