awww thanks snooz, i think. i'll do it for free if you get the girl in your avatar to come as my date...

I'm sure I could arrange something with a girl similar or less attractive. Hahahaha.

if he didnt live so far, this would be the perfect time to play a little joke. we could move both cars out of the garage and hide them somewhere until he gets really mad or starts crying....then we can say....something funny.

how ironic... us complaining that he lives so far away instead of him lol

very true.

You all live so far away. Waiting for my mom to get home so I can steal her Mercedes and head to the auto show for a short bit, then the Broomall meet possibly.

Can't roll up to the autoshow in the Fusion?

I dont feel like driving manual in the city tonight, with my summer tires in this freezing ass cold.

I still do that...on highway though. I never really minded driving a manual in the city.

Then you haven't owned a manual long enough.

Been driving manual since I was 15, but daily since I was 16. My BMW was auto and I hated it.

I've owned and driven it long enough. I have a lot of little places to run to, which would just be easy in a comfy automatic Mercedes, since I have the choice. Not that I need to explain or justify to anyone for an unrelated reason to driving in the city with a manual car, swinging for the fences there.

It varies from person to person, I personally prefer a manual. I only had one instance where I wish I had an auto and that was when I sat in traffic for about 4 hours creeping a few feet every 10 seconds.

I prefer manual, will only buy manual, however if the option exists (like it does) then I will be taking advantage of it. It's just that much less wear on my clutch. Simple.

True on the wear part. I drive just about all highway, so going to the city won't hurt it much.

I drive auto. only because all my family cars are auto..no car to learn manual:o

my buddy's family is like that. so he bought himself an manual and learned lol.

that's what its gonna come to, or swap to a manual, i mean my brother has a manual s10, just never have time to just go out with it.

If that was directed at me, I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to Sam.

I misread the intentions of that and didn't see Sams post immediately after mine. I'll agree with your previous point, now that I have seen his post and yours.
