I owned it for about 2 years. I bought it right before my junior year of high school. Yes, I bought it. Then I sold it and behold...it's back. I got it back about a month and a half ago

haha, I keep the doors unlocked so he can get his things if he still knows where I live. I took the battery out so he can't come ****** it. But as soon as I get the word that I can sell it from my stepfather I might sell it. He owns a law firm and he put one of his lawyers on investigating what we have to do for sidework

Haha that is awesome. I would sell it again definitely. You might want to keep it off the street so the guy can drive buy and tear it up.

I just got rid of my '62 Baja Bug that was taking up my car port area...my 8 goes in that spot now. The Camaro can take the hits. Hell, all I have to do is sell it for over $200 to make a profit

Always been told that MT was better and more fun-to-drive than the AT's. I do agree that their is something that you can only do with MT's, such as taking corners, that even AT w/ manual option can't do.

That being said. Try shifting first to second.... stop... first... stop... first, second, stop... first... stop... over and over for an hour or more everyday, including the weekends of some freeways. I live in L.A., and I gave up driving MT's. AT's are fine. I'd rather save my legs and left butt cheek from getting cramps.

6spd AT is more than enough fun for me. It picks up fast for my daily drive. On the freeways (*when there is some space), it is a blast to drive. Unless you are into racing all the time, AT to me is much better suited for the everyday city driving. I actually looked into MT's because I was looking both into Speed6 and the RX8. I guess I chose comfort over a little higher performace. Also, I used to hate paying for the clutch jobs. If any fun is involved in driving with MT's, those clutches do get worn out fast. That was another thing I did not need.

Yeah, who the hell would want a AT? They are stupid. LOL

I agree with you guys in Office Space traffic i want to kill someone. I dont live in a major city so i dont have that problem very often unless some dumbass wrecks on the I-24 bridge.

Topics seem to get way off track about the 2nd page or so.
