[QUOTE="reason4treason, post: 16100659, member: 134879"] if i had no other choice that i could also be extremely happy with then of course if pushed into that corner, i'd act in accord with the ultimatum. but speaking for myself, and a lot of other people, there most definitely are other great vehicles such as ZR-1 for example. and even if the choice was a vehicle i could be only marginally happy with, if it is that versus no manual, i'd still go for the manual option until there just isn't enough fun available via that equation....whatever that is for people similarly inclined....to still resist the change. yeh, eventually there will be a time when there is NO manual option, but that's not yet. my guess is that arriving at that point is far more likely to be after a process slow enough to see it coming down the track at a rate that is not a shock when it gets here, and i don't think it is that time yet...again assuming MOST people who enjoy "performance" vehicles would choose a different ride than their preference that offers a manual if not doing so would mean no zippy rollin' whatsoever. i do admit that not everyone has that opinion and i might be wrong. even when the time does come, it would not surprise me to see some pendulum-swinging back'n'forth even after the initial "drought." and think of the aftermarket money that will be made by enterprising people who will take advantage of it. who is to say for certain that paying for that will not be more than the inflation that ADM's cause? but that won't effect the auto-preferring people unless their spouse or kid is of that persuasion. funny to see the different ways different people think about other humans regarding great vehicles too. personally, i'm of the school of thought where it makes me happy to see other people getting happiness from the ride i enjoy immensely too, even if i now have to use my brain more strenuously in order to get the vehicle at at least msrp...unless we're talking about Demon-level shortages. i'll have to admit that maybe there's a degree of ego involved in that where i assume that having mass quantities of people also loving the vehicle that i love means I'm a smart guy because I choose this one. the huge demand confirms the..."a legend in my own mind" sort of thing, lol. but i do believe that there is a significant amount of love i have for the human race that i get more pleasure from seeing others get pleasure than i do from seeing them suffering...as they would if they cannot get the vehicle they so much hanker for.
