Sorry, to not let this thread die. I'm not going to try and convince someone one way or the other - to each their own. But I feel like if you are going to buy a sports car, or a muscle car, manual is the way to go. But then again, I'm a control freak and I like to harness my power.
. Very nice R3 you got there too

Oh it's on like Donkey Kong! Think I might just have to bump this thread occasionally just for you then Lurch. Muahahahaha!
-note- I learned to drive stick on a farm when I was 13. I think everyone should learn how. Another note, I don't know why more women don't drive stick...in theory, it should be easier since our feet are smaller and less clunky...unless you have lumberjack attributes! lol

if ppl want their wifes to be happy, he shouldnt even get a RX-8. Get like a SUV.
4AT go well enough to stir some trouble ? ...
They still make Auto because most people are lazy these days. and they refuse to try to even learn how to operate a manual.
Do you have any idea how long it took me b4 my gf finally willing to learn Manual ?
ppl gotta stop their laziness and start working on their left foot.
If u dont have a left foot, yeah sure then why not an Auto tranny ?
If the next rotary car has no Manual tranny option, I will not even buy it, no matter how much I love Rotary.
Just look at the newest GT-R, u know how many ppl bitch about it NOT having a Manual Transmission option.

+2000lbs on a 90HP bike - I still think I might be able to eke out a win 
Nice bike, Jason! I have a 2009 Monster 696 Dark. Only my 2nd bike, but am loving it! I looked at an R6 before getting the Duc, but spent some time in Italy not too long ago and fell in love with their bikes.
