What should I do?

Hello all!

Right now I have quite the dilemma. I own a 2009 Lt coupe with like 44k miles on it. The problem is that it is automatic.
I have so many things that I want to do but that is the only thing that is holding me back. Now I did some research and it seems that it is not feasible to switch from an automatic to a manual since it would cost so much.
Now I would trade my car in for a manual but the problem is that I still owe about 7k on my car. (current car cost a lot because it basically had no miles on it). What should I do in this situation?
Just suck it up and turbo the automatic(eww) or somehow get a manual?

Well that was a lot of replies..... I think I'm just going to go with a regular LT coupe. Build up the engine over time and all. I'm only looking to get ~250 - 300 hp out of this when I'm done and it should be able to handle that. It's really the only thing I can do since the car isn't paid off and last I checked I still owe like 7 -8k on it.
