fullmoon..instead of trading ur car in and losing money..why dont you just bite the bullet and drive around a slow car for the next year or two or however long and save up a good downpayment for another car..then sell the eclipse, which would give you an even better downpayment, and get a new 1. if you dont have the money to be able to put a constant amount of money (or at least kinda of) into ur car, IMO dont kill urself JUST so you have a fast car. i know alot of people on this forum prob wont agree with that, but IMO theres more important things to worry about than having a fast car. thats probably just me though, i've seen too many people around me die b/c of car related accidents (in the last 4 months a kid i worked with died who was 17 years old, and a 23 year old army guy my bro knew died)....even flyinesi was just in an accident and totalled his car he worked and spent so much money on..all it takes is 1 lil slip and its all over with. i'd rather buy my girlfriend somethin or help my parents out with money than spend my hard earned money on something that'll gimme 5hp and barely make a difference

and sry for what i said before, i've made alot of stupid mistakes 2 i shouldnt criticize.
