Its not your fault, we've all been there, myself included. After you're more comfortable, sell the NT and buy a manual GSX or spyder, depending if you want speed or a convertible more. Personally, I think a turbo DSM is WAYYY too much power for a starter car, esp. one that's been lightly modded. just my .02 though, if you still have questions about the GSX/Spyder and mods i'm more than happy to help. Most of us on this site have owned multiple DSMs.
agreed. The turbo DSM does have quite a bit of power for a first car. Although fun to drive an inexperienced driver could easily lose controll of it. Not to mention if your under twenty insurance is going to kill you especially with a convertible. In the eyes of the car insurance company that would be like signing up for life insurance with a grenade strapped around your neck. If its your first car get an NT eclipse( youll fall in love with the cars). Once you are more experienced then go for the GSX or Spyder GST.
