That's probably the point he's trying to make.

That's what I'm trying to get at. It's an economy car. It has crappy seats in it. It has a radio door that rattles. Scion couldn't even makes 'Oh ____!' handles that don't creak and rattle. The entire car is cheap as ____ and put together like legos. Why would you spend 1/3 of the value of the car on JUST upholstery. The rest of the interior is STILL going to be crap, the seats are STILL going to be unsupportive, etc. All you're going to have is some ridiculously over-priced leather under your jeans.

Yeah carbonxe is absolutely right on that matter, it is stock and it is automatic. And i have no intention of trying to make it haul *****. maybe i'll add a few things in the future to add some pep to her, but i doubt you'll see me buying a turbo, unless i just run out of other things to do to my car. I respect those who put that much money into their cars to try and make them faster, i'm just not one of them. Like I said before I prefer to add my own personal style than to add horses. I guess according to some of the things i've heard on this forum, I prefer show instead of go? Please correct me if I used that phrase wrong.

I know this is just going to open a whole new can of worms, but since some people actually asked for me to keep them updated on this here goes:

My aunt used to work for Tony Llama (for those of you who aren't into boots, just know they're a pretty big boot maker) and she pointed out something that I feel dumb for not noticing before. Elephant leather gets ridiculously smooth over time, so smooth that if put on seats it could possibly pose a safety hazard. So at this point I'm debating between croc, stingray, and shark. Ostrich is overused down here and I don't like the way eel has to be done in strips, and therefore to me looks like an odd candy cane. Once again I know for every positive on topic response i get, i'll get ten more flaming this, but i appreciate the on topic ones nonetheless. So any opinions on which I should choose?

Ironically that's actually becoming a more prevalent trend lol. I doubt I'll ever jump on THAT bandwagon, but some boot makers are realizing there's a market for it.
