Ive been browsing the forums here for a while as I was looking for a new car. Today I finally got my own eclipse and I'm having the fun of learning stick. All I can say is that after a night of driving around, stalling a few times and squealing the tires some, I love my car and I wish I had started driving stick sooner. I got a 2002 eclipse gt with 55k miles and I couldn't love the car more (despite my crappy driving)!!!:rofl::rofl::fever:

Anyways to introduce myself, I'm 18 just starting school for Software Applications Programming. Not sure what else to say other than I cant wait to drive some more.

Welcome! don't burn that clutch up:nono: and speaking from personal feelings, I know that messing around with ricer civics and so on can be alot of fun but keep it on the track so you'll have some money to mod, no point in giving up money to the state they have enough lmao:doh:. The eclipse is a wicked littler car I hope you enjoy your purchase. Also LETS SEE SOME PICS!!!!:twothumb:

Yea tomorrow after I shine it all up I'll post a few pics. I kinda like the fact that its a dark blue, you dont see to many in that color and I like to stand out. Ive been trying to go as easy as I can on the clutch (its brand new btw) but you gotta learn somehow :doh:
