I never owned one thank God. But, most DSM owners are cult-like because they rely on others for help. Sure, you can learn it. But, man, it’s not an easy car to own especially given they are ~20 years old. This is especially true if you start modding them.

Did you read the other 2034092423094230230923942 similiar posts in this thread? It’s not a conspiracy. Just trying to save you some headaches and making sure you realize it’s a platform that drains a lot of people mentally and financially. 🙂

this exact one…maybe not…cuz i dont want to keep paying on insurance for cars to sit and not drive them…so the motor and exhaust will probably come out and ill junk the rest and find a cleaner shell and put my stuff in it…cuz i dont feel like fixing all the problems w/ it…

frame rot near back bumper  
rear brake line wrapped around axle  
broken windshield  
wiring issues  
smashed drivers front window  
pass front window off track  
window motors are dying  
rust along bottom of car that i found when i ripped the trim off…

probably more that i havent found/arent remembering off the top of my head…
