Anyone with a manual?

Wanna let me drive their car for a few minutes in a parking lot. Would really appreciate it, looking to skip out on the DCT this time but not sure.

Please?

Hi Jonny.

I think one I know who lives there has one. I'll try texting him in the morning, and if no go there, you can always fly to seattle to test out Peter. Airport is on my milk run route. If it's any help, I've driven both and I feel more home with the manual.

Thank you very much! I was able to sit in a manual car last night (had just sold) and was able to row through the gears while it was off. I gotta say it did feel good, still doesn't tell whole story though.

Yes, it doesn't, but dude I think you just have to admit to yourself that you are one of us and get one.

Hi Jonny! He's not in the country and the wife won't help since she's into this American thing of being afraid of everyone.

Come on guys, help the dude out, even NY must have one dork with a manual in it!

Thanks brother. I already went ahead and ordered the car, going into production this week I'm told. Might be going in blind, exciting and scary!

Yeah, manual is hard to find. I had two in order and ended up picking a third one from NJ in the end. All I can say is that the car is so much fun and that is the thing all of us need into our lives.

You will be happy with it, I'm sure. I have been though my son insists that my car is too girly. Fits the driver is my answer.
