It look very nice.....

But I ask myself a question....  :wtf:
Why is there a Green Parking Sticker on the windshield if it was always in a garage and not a daily driver?  :bs:  :bs:

It may be a registration sticker, like they have in Nova Scotia.

Yeah thats an inspection sticker and the one above it is probably the registration sticker. We need to have things like those in NY.

oops. I meant Inspection sticker. We have the registration stickers on the plates like everyone else. , has it been too long since I've been home or what?

I'm sure Carm would have corrected me on that had he not been under 30cm of snow. :D

Nice car, but that's a ton of money, even with the low mileage.

And an auto t/c... I have one, and it will be a 5 speed one of these days!

An auto T/C would be just fine with me. 10 years straight of flogging away at a 5-speed was enough for me.

But all the lost hp... Everybody keeps telling me when I get older I'll start liking auto transmissions more, but I don't know, I just love my 5 speeds and miss having one so bad!

I can't say "all the lost hp" really bothers me. Comfort is much more important than performance, to me.

How 'bout the reliability? The A4LD is well known for being a pile o' junk tranny...

Same could be said of the AOD, depending on who you listen to.. but I like what I have.

Basically, you can come up with all the justifications you want for a stick over an automatic.. saves fuel, less likely to fail, less HP loss, whatever.. but comfort and preference trump all those arguments. When you've driven w/ the same type transmission (stick vs. auto) for ten years straight, we'll see if you're still all hot to have one. :D

My truck has a slush box. I won't waste my car on one. But that is one hell of a nice TC. I did lots of drooling last night.
