Local dealer has a couple.

BTW Trip-If it wasn't for regular people buying these cars, there'd be no cars to track.

Duuuude, killing me. Thats in MD!! Other than the color, looks spectacular.

Oh wait, Trip might get angry with me because I HATE Red. And he may not like that I dont think exactly like he does.

Red is the worst color ever, it makes me want to run out and stomp baby seals...

not.

Honestly, as bright as the green they have is, Im kinda digging it. I love the metallic flash. Of course there are a couple in my area, all 6 autos and hard top. I havent researched it, but anyone know off hand if they make the convertible in green?

No appreciation for what the auto really is man. No appreciation. Or knowledge. And apparently no one knows how to drive a stick anymore. I was actually asked if someone could convert a BIKE into AUTO cuz he couldnt drive manual trans and didnt want to learn.

Like the dude around here driving the Shelby 500 GT, AUTO. And doesnt even know what he's got, just that it "looks" cool. *cry*

Seriously, this is a pet peeve of mine. You fuckers aren't going to drive the cars like they "ARE MEANT TO BE" driven even with a fucking stick. Shut the fuck up. These people want these cars cause they like them. You are no fucking better. Shut the fuck up douchebags.

Dad nevah taught you to drive a stick, eh? Stuck driving your old ladys 4 cylinder Civic automatic?

My first car was manual, the truck I owned the longest was also a manual. I can drive a stick. Oh, and I can flat out beat the shit out of you on a motorcycle as well. Does it mean I am better than you? Fuck no. Does it mean anything? Fuck no.

I owned a 4 cylinder piece of crap auto civic for a long time. It was functional, got me from A to B, and got great gas mileage because of my long 50+ mile commute. The truck I own now is auto 4 cylinder. I don't need a stick truck or a MONSTER engine. I don't carry any load or use the truck in a manner that would require more. I buy automobiles that are functional in a price range I can buy without needing a loan. Plus, I don't have to prove my dick is big or that I am "cool."

My wife has a nice Civic...4 cyclinder...4 door...very economical and functional....we drive it on trips...and she likes it to and from work and around town. Comfortable enough and easy on the gas. Me? I'm not hurting for money and I like toys....And you know what? I flog the piss out of the toys I own...to prove something to you or anyone else? No....I don't give a fuck about you....or anyone else. I do it because *I* want to....because *I* can.

If you don't carry a big load with your truck, why bother getting an auto? An auto truck is good for hauling heavy loads.......If you're not doing that, why not get a manual?

functional, I also use it for commuting. Auto is one less thing I have to deal with in the car.

An Ex-GF from Brazil had a Honda Fit. I always felt rather unsafe in it. She had a slushbox in it. Took it to the dealer for service one day, and the dealer gave us a lift home in the shop vehicle; another Fit, this one with a stick.

Mind you, the guy drove like a nut, but I was still totally comfortable in the car, and it didn't feel like it was careening out of control, as I had felt with the auto-equipped car.

The lack of control was actually palpable from the passenger seat for me.

Unsafe and you ride a motorcycle, makes sense.... Most muscle cars have never been the most "controllable" cars either. So that blows that out of the water. You can get a little miata go cart that will corner on rails though.

Power is all about penis extension and being cool. If you just wanted to get from A to B safely, efficiently, and reliably; there is much more options for that in the lack of power department. Much more reasonably priced as well. You can argue against it all you want, but it will always be an image thing.

Why did you own a 600RR? You didn't ride that like it "WAS MEANT TO BE"

Unless you think you're Rossi, of course.
