cool man...ive been lookin for a clean miata...but im sure i'll spot another....Gluck on the same!!
yeah whatever, they can hate all they want....its some kinda macho BS thing to drive stick and most these ppl have never set foot on a track in their life to make use of a manual anyway (with exception of course)...honestly i MUCH rather drive an auto then a manual everyday....especially in traffic or on dates!!....my Gran Marquis may be big and ugly but my GF prefers it to my small, loud, stiffly sprung, jolty (as she calls it ) MR2. Plus it has the front bench seat...if you know what i mean

....no shame in driving an Auto...just try and stay away from the FWD auto slush boxes in most cars.
