Any color but black or white. Black is too hot and both get too dirty, too fast.
I'd love either. But I know I'll probably have to get a V6 to keep insurance costs reasonable.
And I'd prefer an auto since it'll be a DD. But I'd get a manual if I had to.

He's pissed about these numbers and claims that it's the dyno's fault. I explain that factory horsepower numbers aren't reliable and that all cars have power loss after so many years.
Side note, this kid gets extremely offended when a girl knows more about cars than him. And then sent me this screenshot.
Yes. That is a bunch of 20 something year olds with POS Firebirds that still live with their parents and that I'm jealous of them.

damn, if you are jealous of them... I shouldn't tell you about what I've got...
