He then jumped into his Lambo, yelled, “Lexit!” and promptly crashed into a wall - that absolutely everyone saw was there all along - massively depreciating the car’s value.

Cuddling is for lower classes that need to keep warm. People of this level of income lie rigidly on their backs next to each other, to show that they need nothing but their wealth to keep them warm.

I think that’s what the rear-facing seat option is for ;)

Manual owner here. I consider it okay to buy certain cars with automatics, but only if it’s a car with no manual option and no manual competitors (an Audi RS6, for instance).

I prefer a manual in stupid stop and go traffic. I idle along in first while the rest of the idiots do the punch it then hit the brakes circle jerk that is most traffic ‘jams’.

Did I want leather, Bluetooth, heated seats, a trip computer? Yes, I did. Did I want them more than I wanted a manual transmission? Absolutely not, and not once have I regretted that decision.

Go back and read stuff from the early 1990s...or do a little research before posting your “facts”...

Depends on the tires. I could only get 15k out of rears on my S2k. They were Dunlop Direzza Star Specs. I had to flip them at 7.5k or they’d get down to cords on the inside due to the added toe from the UK alignment.

It’s currently sitting at 172,000 miles. He’s put 90,000 on it since 2012.

I’d be interested to see the graphs for it. Maybe they’ve gone for beefing up the mid-range and removing that little flat-spot over outright numbers?

The ability to get into a collision and live? Luxury interiors?

...and the SW Supra has all the fun (it's a 6-speed).

and that's exactly my point....If Nader hadn't pointed out the need for safety to us, where would we be now?

No advantages? As if directly controlling the gear that you're in isn't an advantage?

I agree with you. Seriously. Sticking up for Nader is a rare thing on this or any other car-enthusiast site. I know that it's pretty much a requirement that to be a "real" car guy (or gal) in America, you're supposed to hate Ralph Nader. Kind of like if you're going to be a "real" Texan, you'd sure as hell better…

PRNDL to me means you're just kind of PRuNDLing along..

sounds like he was steering with his knees. Eating a chili cheese dog and holding his wifes hand. Yep, that sure makes me want an automatic!?!

Want to know what I did when Honda didn't have any MTs on the lot?

Lemme get this straight...you were bombing down dirt roads in a Cherokee with one hand on the wheel, holding your wife's hand with the other?
