Maybe some people just like the look?! And why is it embarrassing to drive an auto? I always have to laugh at comments like these. I mean really, who in the real world judges someone based on the type of transmission their car has? Take a trip out to a drag strip sometime and you'll see how many people are not embarrassed to be running autos!

I like the look. Looks a lot cleaner than all that plastic that comes on it from the factory. Don't worry about the manual hate. I have a manual and there are days I'm sitting in traffic wishing I wasn't constantly working the clutch. Nicely done!

<--- Like this guy. See you at the strip!

I also agree that Hurst plate looks good but it seems a bit pricey or I'd have one by now too.

I apologize for hurting your feelings. I forget how sensitive the clutchless crowd can be. Sorry.

And how insensitive and disrespectful some manual drivers are.

No hurt feelings here, man. If I wanted a manual I would have bought a manual (and saved myself about $2600). But I appreciate your ignorant generalizations. Have a good one!

Even those points are a lot narrower than they were years ago.
