I for one wish that aspiring artist the best of luck.

Sucks that not a lot of them are manuals (unless you wanted an automatic?) because of the MPG hit you'll take... But then again, for $2,000...
Yea, speeling fails som peepl...

I eliminated manuals for two reasons. 1) My wife can't drive one until we can get her ankle fixed. It shattered 2 years ago and has never set right. She wouldn't be able to use the clutch as a result. 2) I have a friend in the auto repair industry that advised me against it, because you can't tell how the previous owner(s) treated the clutch.

I certainly prefer driving a manual, but I'd rather be driving a manual with less miles, owner(s), and a warranty.
