May be I am just getting older.
I'm with you, my SC is a 6spd now was 5 spd and there's no way I could daily it with the DC Area traffic I deal with. I'm all for shifting and having fun but just can't deal with it everyday. My auto TL does the trick for daily traffic duties

I respect that. Is a long, stressful 8-hour day in San Fran different from a long, stressful 8-hour day in Charleston? Just kidding. Anyway, my grandfather drove stick until he was 67, mostly in the St. Louis area which is also more hilly and congested than most people realize.

I'm 24, and yes, some days I think an auto would be nice. But at this point in my life I can only have one car, and in that case I still prefer manual.

looked nothing like this at all
Maybe you saw one with the M-sport package. I have it on my 4.8 and looks very similar to the M. All the the black pieces are body colored and have unique wheels. I prefer my car's looks over the revision. I just wish i had the power and lights.

That would be true! lol

I just don't know what to think with this refresh. I'm trying to justify my recent addition. This car is SEX, but knowing that 70k was spent on it and now comes an even faster version...ugh
