You're joking, right?  I think however, that plenty of people are having issues with how to drive a manual. Just read the posts. They're everywhere. See my vette? It has the original B-W ST-10, if you know what that is, and I shift hard all the time with it. 90000+ miles and it's never been apart. So don't come in here and say that the American auto makers don't know how to spec a tranny. My Z roadster with the 6 speed, I have no problems shifting in any gear at 7500 rpm. So, did I get the only car that has a good manual? I doubt that. A guy goes through three trannys and claims there are issues with the it? Not likely. It's abuse or lack of shifting skills.
