...Before you guys forget, the manual is actually a child born from the PDK. So, all you manual guys are saying is that you enjoy the dynamics of pumping your left foot. Good.
...and before anyone accuses me of not knowing the wonderfulness of manual...let me ask how many of you guys learned to drive with a 3 speed on the column manual Ford Fairlane?

I learned to drive a MT when I was 15, and rescued a 1969 Fiat 124 Spider with a 5 speed from the salvage yard. A few months later, I learned to replace the synchros on the Spider (but I swear it was not my driving).

Glad I had that experience, and glad those days are behind me.

Every Porsche SA I've met over the years want to get you the car you want.
Some have been helpful to the extreme. Sorry you had a bad experience.

No offense to sales advisors and the one who sold me my 991.2 was friendly, well-informed about 911s, and altogether satisfactory. However, all of these discussions about customers "wasting the time" of SAs is absurd.
At most Porsche stores, buyers are not exactly taking tickets and standing in line to buy new cars. The essence of the SAs job is to speak with buyers and potential buyers. How can doing so possibly be "wasting" an SAs time?

Great metaphor for the "purist" crowd to keep in mind: But Did You Really Climb It?
The question is how much aid can we tolerate before we get too close to the fully automated end.
