Default Why?

Every f'ing nice car I find with low miles and a decent price tag has to be an freaking automatic or have tan leather? Two things I can't stand in F-bodies lol. This process of finding the exact car you want is a PITA

I know how you feel man. 6 month search for a dark blue 6-spd 2000 Formula, and all I could find was a tan auto! Good bracket car with the auto though, so I can't complain much now....

Be patient. You'll get the one you're after. Don't settle for what you don't want and don't be a cheapskate when you do find it.

I wanted a 6spd, but it was a bitch to find a good one. I settled for a A4 because I like to drag race so I didn't really mind that much. But you autocross right??

Everyone searches for a long time to find one. Anywhere from weeks to months. Your car is out there, just have to be patient and your right one will come along. I lucked out, I HAD to find one that weekend if I was going to get one, went to carmax and found my baby! Same thing with my girl, took a lot of searching and looking at a LOT of cars, but she found hers.
