Sports cars in this price range/class should be 6 gears
Yes I noticed it too, they keep the KungFu grip on old classy cars because a good amount of them are old farts with cash! and have a mix (car collection) and some newer daily's I'm shopping for a car cover debating is the best worth a couple hundred more?!? $300-$500 some on here are installing custom hydraulic lifts to change the oil because it's FUN,
Most car guys buy a mix of latest and classic, they don't just have 1
I was about to spend $50k on a mint 02 M3 after wifey laughs I just got the M2 to me it's a new old m3 if that makes sense? happy with my choice and I got warranty!
Sorry to all the old farts, my apologies in advance! now get ready for dinner @ IHOP 4pm
