i think ima get manual, im sixteen. and i am currently learning how to drive stick on a friend of mines 350z lol. he is rich as f***(one of those computer kids who makes hundreds of thousands) so he could care less if i mess it up a bit. and i love the feeling of shifting through the gears. so manual here i come (plus its about a thousand dollars less) which is a thousand less dollars i have to save up before i actually buy it
