Hey Chris I've got your address, you want me to start you up a few subscriptions? I could even pay in advance for them since I have your credit card #. Probably wouldn't be Cosmopolitan though.

What's the matter, mdhmi can go on blabbing how he's going to wax, and when I rebut his claim, you give me sarcasm? Not to add, I noted it in jest?

Nice going! Shows me your character.

To each his own. I have an auto tranny and I am converting to a stick shift.

If you want be fast in a straight line then the auto is the way to go, as you cannot out shift a computer, even though some may think they can.

Turbo cars lend themselves to auto's because of the ability of auto's to shift and keep the rpm up in the boost, whereas manuals do not.

I'm more into the handling and the twisties and that's where a manual tranny shines. Good luck with the conversion, the Guys at RPM will take good care of you.
