BTW, my 924S was an automatic. Two years and about 25k miles in it. I loved the car, but always wanted something more if you know what i mean.

Yeah, not to bash Americans or America, but as a country we are quite lazy. I think that is a good reason why most of the cars anymore are automatic. It's hard to eat a big mac, talk on your cell phone, and drive stick at the same time.
