We also test drove this.  It's the car he's been dreaming of for a couple of years now, but after driving both of them, he seems to prefer the Mustang:

my first car was a manual
I had driven a stick a few times but my parent's car and pickup were autos.
no better way to learn than to be forced
of course I had been riding motorcycles for years

Yup.  Toyotas suck, as has been well established. :)

Yeah I saw your pic.  Color me jealous!  Lots of Mustang fans around here and I'm among the ringleaders. :)

All the oldtimers are well aware my dreamcar is a 65 convertible.  Doesn't need to be fancy, just mostly put together and in working order.  I want a driver not a showcar.  This would do:



I would LOVE an Eleanor from the movie Gone in 60 Seconds.

My first car was a manual as well. I learned to drive on automatics, and inherited that car when my sister left for college. I taught myself how to drive stick, because my dad was busy and I'd already gotten my license. Teaching myself didn't take much time at all. It's not rocket surgery.

Every car I've ever owned has been automatic.  But every car I've ever rented and driven in Europe has been a manual.  

I learned stick on my friend's 1978 Jeep back in high school, but I wasn't great at it.  My first few weeks in France, I was pretty rough on that poor little Citroen.  But I got the hang of it and now it comes back pretty quickly any time I need to.

So far, 4 of the 6 cars that have been "mine" in my life have been manual. Plus one motorcycle which was obviously manual.

Only one of those (1989 Ford Probe GT) was "sporty" though. Unless you call a Jeep Wrangler sporty.

Currently eyeballing this to replace mine. This is an AMG E43. I'm contemplating stepping up to an S though I'm not sure I need a car that big.

CD might.  He likes 'em topless, although I also think he likes 'em lower to the ground...

I personally consider the Wrangler sporty, to be honest. It's just a different sport. 

Sure, it doesn't lap the Nurburgring like a Ferrari... But a Ferrari doesn't rock climb as well as a Wrangler :57:

My Ford Flex? That is very much NOT sporty.

I would.  It's just a different sport.  

Some vehicles run track, and others play linebacker.
