Dream car as my first MT?

Fishey

I generally think less of people who don't drive manual sports cars unless there is a very logical/specific reason they do. A Handicap or Castration*sarcasm* are two reasons I find acceptable. Honestly, though the best automatic/dual clutch/automated manual usually see an increase in performance but for me the simplicity of manual gearbox repair and the fun of driving it still make a manual gearbox even in the worst traffic worth it on a car like a 370z.
