Great looking Sprint! Mind you, your old car looked great too. Is the Sprint manual or auto?

That's a shame. Ah well, it's still a nice car.

You haven't disappointed anyone. I don't get why people can't just say 'nice car' without having to infer that having an auto is somehow inferior. I have both a manual and auto and would give up both for you have now. :sm_headba

Well, I'm just a manual fan. Even still, it's a Sprint and a damn tidy one at that. It is a great looking car.

unless you are buying a car such as pyroay or something where you know its been built properly to last etc... and saves you an absolute packet doing it yourself.
