We brought along a close friend (car mechanic) who can confidently drive the manual tranny car. In the midst of test driving the car, he crashes it through a wall. So i was basically forced into buying an automatic.
That sucks that your mechanic crashed the only car in the world with a manual transmission into a wall.... forcing you to buy an automatic... how unfortunate.

Car Crash:
I guess he was testing any speed wobble or speed problems at high mph's and we approached a 35 curve in the road that he took at ~70 (For Bay Area drivers: El Camino Real). You can obviously tell he didn't know how to counter steer and he whipped the wheels in attempt to regain control of the car; resulting into a wrx in a wall. (Ill post pics if i can).

Mom+My Car:
We aren't sharing, She was just saying; if she were to want to drive my car, she wouldn't be able to (If it was Manual).

So, how'd he end up dealing with that...you know...crashing a car that he didn't own? Don't let this guy work on your car...EVER!!!!! FOR ANYTHING!!! EVER!!!!!! And you need a new mechanic. Try one that's not an idiot. lol.

He was really young probably in young 20's. He drives an E30. His insurance was "half-way" so he had to pay for half of the car. He got a broken nose xD ahha
