Well, there went the Titanium.

I've been lurking around a long time and posted a couple of times. I bought a Titanium Automatic about a year and a half ago and got rid of it today. It was a great car and I loved it. But not as much as my new Black Manual 8. There is a big difference between the two different transmissions. They gave me 24000 for my car with 27098 miles on it. They even let me get my strakes, accents and valve stem covers off of the old car. Payments only went up 40 bucks. I'm loving it...again.

Great work on the trade in, that's a very good price. I just bought an '04 6M with Grand touring pack and 14K miles this week for $22k, here on the west coast, so you did well.

I've had an entire day now to enjoy the manual and I love it.
I got that deal because my Mazda dealership sent me a letter saying they were looking for 2004 RX8s and wanted to buy mine back. Probably crap but hey they really gave me a good deal on it.

Real men are confident in their masculinity. In other words, they don't buy a car just to seem more manly. I have an AT, and I would never switch to a MT.

Autos certainly fill a need ... lots of stop and go ... around town driving ... or folks who don't want to change gears.... modern at are quite good .... for me I will have a manual transmission car until my left knee gives out or I can't afford one. They involve the driver more than an at. Driving a manual is like skiing the edges of a mountain ... being one with the car.

break it in quickly ... so you can really enjoy the drive! :D :D
