This is so lame man.

DCT cars become boring unless you are constantly using your car on the track competing for something. Walter Röhrl went on record saying the PDK transmission is faster on a track if left in automatic. At that point, why even bother using the paddles?

You could park a manual transmission in any city in earth and any neighborhood and it will definitely not be stolen. Might not have windows and wheels in it but it won’t be stolen

Beer in left hand, phone in right. Drive with your knees and shift your right hand middle/ring/pinky fingers. It’s easy

Toyota still has the Tacoma with manual transmission options. I may buy one just so I can make my boys right in the middle and jam my elbow into their chest just like my dad did to me.

Huh ? You actually think id ‘pretend’ to have traveled overseas so that some gravy-soaked cousin-frickers here would be impressed with me ?? .. You must lead a very rich and full life .

My cars see a significant amount of track time. I got burnt out on grenading clutches and dropping trannys a long time ago. It's just too hard to make them live in a high HP car. The DCTs hold up much better and take a ton of abuse. Added bonus that they're faster.
