@Dr. Gonzo don't you still have a Z06?
If you do, maybe just take that out on nice days every so often to work to get your fix.

I Miss Driving a Manual DD
- Thread starter Dr. Gonzo
- Start date
Nope. Sold my C6Z a couple years back and bought a boat.
I would never drive a manual as a DD. Especially in traffic! I love the auto in my Genesis. On weekends, I miss a manual. But it depends on the vehicle, too. I'd have no desire to drive an underpowered vehicle with a manual. Any time. Any place. Something north of 300whp, yes, on weekends.
Oh god
2 happiest days of a boat owner?
I've been DD'ing a manual since around 2013. I freakin hate it. But it's paid off so If it makes it another 180k, so be it.
I heard all the boat cliches and knew it wasn't going to be a cheap lifestyle before buying it. So far, it's been way more than fun than owning a sports car.
All of the cars I own are manuals and I have no regrets about that. Plenty of modern cars have pretty light clutches that aren't a big deal in traffic.
With that said, I personally would not buy a 170k mile audi product.

Agreed.
DD'd stick cars for a number of years. Drove a man trans all day at work too. Actually preferred it most of the time. Nowadays, I DD an auto (F150), but I cherish the driving experience with my other two cars. There was a time not long ago before the truck when all 3 vehicles in my garage were stick. I'm currently half-assed looking to get back to having 3 fun, stick cars in addition to the truck.
Given the direction of autos these days, scoop up a man trans before they're extinct. Just maybe not the one with a billion miles. lol
You didnt answer the question
2 happiest days
day you buy it
day you sell it
Boats are such a colossal waste of money its crazy.
Oh yes i know the boat moniker, apologies lolol pops still about cried when he sold his, no idea why tbh.
Thats a bold strategy cotton...
I own a boat...trust me i know lol
Ive threatened to start burning 100 dollar bills in the winter so i can remember what its like to take the boat fishing lol
This ain't no 20' bowrider or fishing boat. Between fuel, summer slip fee, winter storage, maintenance, repairs, etc. etc. etc. I knew going in it wasn't a cheap hobby/lifestyle lol. I enjoy it and to me, it's money well spent. I look at it as floating summer cottage.
Lol...yeah well mine is faster lol
I could sleep out in the open air but that would suck lol
Oh yeah, well my dad can beat up your dad.
Basically sold my 1320 Scat because it was automatic and boring.
Now I got an STI.
