Here is your core problem. You’ve spent 7 years owning/modifying a 1st Gen Neon and you haven’t even AutoXed it? You mod/use it like it’s a car to cruise around in and look cool, yet in reality it’s only good use is as a cheap AutoX/track day car (for those that can put up w/ FWD) or a super cheap DD for the perpetually broke (in which case it shouldn’t be modded, just maintained).
It’s not cool. It never will be cool. But it could be a fast AutoX car, which clearly you have no interest in.
