top 10 reason why real men drive stick.

10. A manual transmission is the ultimate in control

7. Manual transmissions prove you can do more than one thing at a time
6. You can't drift in an auto
5. You can't pull fancy moves in an automatic
4. You get better fuel economy with a stick
3. You’ll never look like a chump if you can drive stick
2. Manual transmission cars are faster
1. Women like a guy who is good with his hands.

We talk in the mods only section too, but most of it is documenting infractions/warnings, after that its mainly site policy stuff. But this thread is a bit of a go-between for us, mainly by accident really. We have 3 mods that frequent this thread, so if a problem thread is posted here we're likely to find it pretty quick. Quicker than we would if we were simply looking on our own.

I don't know if its always been like that, but its been this way at least since the latest re-skin of the site. They are also a different colour too.

No, its not nearly fast enough. GM should have had 20 000 cars built a month ago ...

Huh? What's all that? Speed limit is 55.

Break-in procedure is crucial.

Tires are expensive...
