Also resources on how to drive and pass the license test would be appreciated

Chrisfix, car forums. Best way to learn to drive is practice. The test isn't so bad

>Any other free/cheap resources to help newbs like me to learn more about the world of automobiles?

yes literally ANY OTHER resource but youtube

most of those fags pepper in strong bias and opinion into every video

start torrenting shop manuals for cars you like visit forums for cars you like
the last thing you want to do is start parroting everything a youtuber's said because thats all you know

>pros
its reliable and cheap

>cons
its soulless and boring

Buy a Mazda 3 instead.

Neither. They're both shitty fca products.

Neither. You'll lose less on a 15 by virtue of it having lost a third of its value already. If you want a nice Dodge car, get a snek.

No, hydrogen is the future.

I've had two of them and currently own a 4-cyl base model looking for another GT. If you can get past the FWD autism, it has very neutral handling especially for FWD. An Addco 22mm rear swaybar cures understeer and can actually result in snap oversteer if you're cocky. It'll knock on the door of 140mph out of the box and with a bolt-on KLZE swap that becomes 150.

Pic related my 4-cyl copy. Has the GT's suspension bits plus some minor suspension upgrades. Has made it almost 300k on the factory sealed motor. The only downside these days is finding a clean copy that isn't automatic.

Probe's are awesome. I've had eight or nine of them since the late nineties; 4's and 6's, manuals and autos, nice and beaters... Even had an MX6 thrown in there. I've swapped KLZE's into three of them, complete with burning new EPROM's for the ECU's to support the proper VRIS engagement points and timing changes due to the different cams and compression ratios.

Long story short... I love these cars. I still have two of them... 94 Wild Orchid GT's....

They are a bit on the heavy side for some peoples taste... And some people pooh pooh them for being FWD. But ya know what, people need to get over the fact that not everyone must have RWD or else 'zomg loser'. Pssh.

A KLZE swapped Probe GT, manual trans, lowered with some good suspension components, is a pleasure to drive.

Oh... If you come across one (good luck; Cash 4 Clunkers screwed up the supply chain for Probe's and MX6's), carry a spare disty so when the igniter takes a shat, you can get yourself back on the road quick. Or wire up a GM HEI igniter.

Pic is not of my car, but of another wild orchid 94.

someone probably donated it to write it off on their taxes, then that company donated it to copart.

Small dent right rear quarter. Otherwise it looks OK. Unless there is rust.

Poor thing. I'd take it.
