Real men drive a manual with a clutch.

And they don't leave it in the garage, they take it out and POUND it once in a while.

I lol'd. This is like a post I'd read from the E36 M3 forums when I had one. I think the average age of the E36 M3 owner is a little lower than the typical 911 owner.

I'd had both, and I enjoy both. No doubt you can't beat the connection to the car with a stick and a foot operated clutch. One of the things I love about PDK is being able to keep both hands on the wheel when you're really hustling on a twisty back road.

I don't know what a parse error is but it makes using the app a royal PITA.

Only losers need two hands to drive on a twisty winding road. Not only do I use one hand but usually just a finger especially on twisty roads near cliffs where one wrong turn will be my last but hey at least I go shifting instead of girly paddling.

People can do what they like. I don't care what others do in their cars in terms of shifting. My only concern is if too few manuals are sold there will not be enough manuals out there to find the right used Porsche I want.

Used market should be easy just from the sheer # of manual cars on the road today; it's the new market that's drying up. I mean, there hasn't been a car built with a hand-crank start and manual timing adjustment in about 70 years, but you can still find & drive them if you really want to.
