6MT - designed for perfectionists
7AT - designed for enthusiasts

They got that the wrong way around if you ask me.

yup definitely got that backwards it should be

6MT - designed for aftermarket F.I.
7AT - designed to have your wallet thrown at it

I thought I was a die hard manual fan. I was talking to my father's doctor the other day who is a huge car enthusiast. I was asking if he has seen the new Alpha 4C. He said he wouldn't even think of buying one because it isn't offered with a manual transmission. I was surprise because he is a huge Alpha fan and has a couple vintage ones. I crack up because his DD is a Lotus Elise. He laughed when I mentioned that it is going to get hard to even find a car with 3 pedals and said he is just going to have to buy used. I'm not that bad, I'd take that Alpha even if it had a CVT.

I still like shifting my stick anytime in a sports car!:ugh2:

M/T guys are so skilled. They can play with a stick and run their mouths at the same time.

Driving an automatic is like masturbating. It's quick and efficient. But you know what? It can't beat old fashioned sex.

Saw this on Facebook and thought it was funny :D

Masturbating is an art that the M/T have mastered playing with two sticks. You will look like fiddler crabs in a few years of driving them.

Actually there used to be several of these threads, and then one of the mods cleaned them up and merged them. I wonder if that's really the start date of the oldest one or not.

drove the 6mt and it wasn't that great. 1st to 2nd was especially rough.
