Want my first car to be a manual trans. Just got back from vacation and the rental was stick and I got to drive it 4 times. It was fun as hell and I really want one.

The only thing is, the craiglist market is flooded with nissan sentras, honda civics, hyundais, and vw passats....

What do you suggest doing? Are there other sites you recommend to find something? Don't think there is much of a selection on ***/KBB.

Are you saying I'm gonna crash it? lol

e/ and I don't plan on kicking the shit out of it. Nor racing or anything like that. I just like the idea of shifting and whatnot.

Ls1 powered cars are 98-02 which is the second design of the 4th gen. Do yourself a favor and drive a $1500 beater for a little while before you buy one of those. You will definitely crash it. I own one.
