ND, simply because if I have $99,000 to buy this, I have $99,000 to buy a brand new AMG Mercedes or any number of other sub-100k supercars, and I’ll have that, thanks. For the record, I do not have $99,000 to buy anything at all.

I learned to drive stick on a Pontiac Solstice GXP. That was actually a lot of fun, if nervewracking.  I also tried to teach my kid to drive stick on a BRZ.  That was more nervewracking than fun.
