It won’t? You can modify your car, and still claim items under warranty that aren’t affected by the mods. A service writer would have to do pretzel-level mental gymnastics to blame an engine issue on a custom muffler...

Personally I’d just like my car to not sit at 3600rpm when doing 70 on the interstate.

Truck drivers would like to have a word with you.

Does the 10 speed also come with Hi /Lo Reverse?

or have it like trucks

Reverse activates the CVT.

Check out how an 18 speed works. Retired OTR driver. It’s interesting.

Manual transmissions make almost any car better. I have a 05 Camry. Camry’s are made to get from point A to Point B without any drama for the maximum number of years. Without any drama can also be translated as without any fun.

Why did you let an adult join your Boy Scout troop?

This is a heartwarming story, but I take issue with this description of the accident:

God, the Z3 is hilarious. Just get a Z3 and bingo, you got what you wanted and more, saving about $10k.

Eh, I’d stick to supercars for the gated shifter. They’re not very user-friendly in daily driving.

So, I think what you’re saying is that it’s the nicest vehicle you’ve ever owned?

I didn’t want to spend my time dropping the Vue’s transmission when I could spend that time and money on something more interesting rusty.

Sad!

Fact: There are no boring cars with manual transmissions.

the shifter on these is absolutely awful. It’s a common replacement item. Believe the shaft may be hollow plastic along with the bushings? Not sure. Also I think you could only get manual with fwd....bane of our existence.

The Golf R paint options... like seriously are there a dozen CA folks that are clicking on that purple paint and there are like one USA person and so they said “screw it, we can’t crash test purple the NHTSA!”

Good thing our pilots are well versed in navigating by VOR and ADF so this shouldn’t be a problem at all? It just means ATC and pilots will have to do their jobs.
