I refused to replace the crushed fender, hood and headlight for her, citing the fact I could replace the car with a cleaner example for two or three grand.
I like the red, esp with the chrome and silver, but the wife kind of does not, plus we already have a red car. Blue, silver, white would be great, but no can find. Getting a manual is an excellent call. I don't hear great things about the autotrans (Asian), the manual will serve a longer duty, more fun and is needed if there are any mods applied to it.
We are pretty psyched.
I started another thread on the oil/engine.

Okay, fair enough. A 14-year old car with 160k and significant damage has 'lived its life' and would be expensive to continue to operate. Even if there wasn't the C4C program, a dealer would most likely junk it instead of re-selling.
