Rep Power: 0 hmm... do you mean the auto tranny is messing up? cuz if thats the case, then take it in for warranty work...
but if you mean you are tired of driving auto and want a little more fun while driving... then i say check out www.team-integra.net
you should have better luck there.

Rep Power: 0 I actually have been asking the same question and they said it depends on how much you owe versus how much its worth so you have to go to the dealer. I am in the process of changing to a differnt car soon so I just asked that question about 24 hours ago! for me its horrible so I am going to give one of my family members my car and just get another.

Is your car on finance? If so, you're about to lose a HUGE chunk of money (couple of thousands)
If it's fully paid off, sell it privately.

Rep Power: 347 hell yeah, I like that idea also. if your going to lose a couple grand why not just use that couple grand for an engine swap, then your car will be fun....and a sleeper if you want

I can understand the dilema with the auto tranny. Why did you get it if you didn't want an auto, didn't you test drive it to make the decision? Either way, depending on how much you financed (rate at 10%+) with a craedit rating higher than 580, you mainly are waht's the word-screwed. Negative equity is going to get you. Plus the bank wil see you are trying to trade only a short time after purchasing her. High risk, ew. So, that integra not only will hurt you in the pocket for insurance, but it will not have the + equity to cover your '03. Bummmer. You'll have to put like $5000+ down & the risk goes up significantly if the car is older than new. You decide-Laters

Boredom???? Maybe you should take up a hobby while driving. I reccomend my favorite game. It's called " guess what that jerkoff is going to do" basically you watch traffic all around you and try and anticipate drivers actions. This way your prepared for when "that jerkoff" cuts you off or decides he needs to be in the lane your in. I have a truck thats an auto and I can tell you that other than long trips..I have never been "bored" long trips with a stick are the same anyway since it just stays in top gear the whole time. If you need a stick to play with while your drive maybe you should.....well....I'll leave that one alone
