BTDT, and I haven't even had a manual transmission for very long. Also, can of soda, and phone. I think I looked something like this:

I sure as hell am. It's not a museum piece, it's a car that I intend to enjoy in every way that I enjoy cars.

I'm definitely going for a manual trans. I've learned driving with a stick in driving school and loved it ever since, but unfortunately i have been driving an automatic for the last two years.

can't wait to get a stick shift again.

but i would get an auto

no eating in the car

or smoking

cactus_man · 07-16-2008, 04:15 PM

Manual! I can't wait to get back into a manual. I have a silverado now that is really nice, but, its boreing to drive. I like to be involved. Hell, a manual made my 1988 Samurai a fun car to drive, with 90 hp. Cant wait!

My Camaro:

SS (And whatever engine that entails...LS3 I hope)
6-Speed Manual
Brembo Brakes

Who cares about the radio...8 cylinders is all I need to hear!

KatarHol · 07-16-2008, 04:24 PM

Auto. I've already got a Manual. Best of both worlds.

Eat with your left, steer and shift with your right. But seeing as you're getting an auto the concept of multitasking is already a bit...strange to you

i want stick but this is going 2 be my only car so i might change my mind when it comes time to buy and i think about sitting in traffic for 2 hours on my way to work everyday with my foot holding the clutch the whole time. the paddelshifter option is looking more and more nice.

RB43TD · 07-29-2008, 05:37 PM

I want a manual, but my wife can't drive one to save her life. So I'll be getting an automatic. It's worth it to not have my clutch ruined like she did in my Tiburon.

Row row row the gears,
slamming through the gates
Tires squealing chirpin' third,
Say good bye to 'Stangs...

If you like that, thanks, I made it up myself.
If you think it's corny, piss off wanker.
