In for the story about rotten roast beef hoohaa staining up the seat and smelling for 6 weeks in the dead of summer....


Anyone?

 

I go back and forth every few years. I love how driving standard can come back to you just like riding a bike. Longest time without a standard was maybe six years.
I just recently went from a DCT M4 back to a 6 Speed Manual M3 and love it.

 

get that poor thing out of the snow

 

Why'd you switch to the M3? Missed having the extra doors? I used to own an E46 M3 and I loved that car. Still looking for a clean E39 M5 as my next car.

 

Sports cars: Not having a stick is a deal breaker.
Utility vehicles like my truck? I prefer auto. After a long day at the motocross track and the possibility that some of my limbs aren't functioning at 100% it's nice to jump in an auto to get back home.

 

Born in '89 (27 yo)
learned to drive a stick in my uncle's 90s era Ford Ranger when I was 16. fast-forward to when I was 26, I bought an 88 Pontiac Fiero, restored it and put some modern parts into it for a year, and now it's my daily driver. still a work in progress. 5 speed Muncie transaxle.

 

And your signature gif gives me funny tingly feelings in unmentionable places.

 

Welcome to the club.

 

She loves the snow!! Doesn't like ice though...
If I didn't take her out, she'd be locked away for six months plus out of the year.

 

Yeah, I prefer the look of sedans. My M4 was my first coupe since I was a teen and I regretted not going sedan after awhile.
Plus kids on the way so it was an excuse.

I've never had the pleasure of owning an E46. I love seeing them around. So beautiful still.
I've driven an E39 M5 numerous times and loved it. I think that will be my next fun car.

 

like my cars?

they get so abused in the winter with the salt trucks, all the shit that gets kicked up on the roads, i can't stand the thought of driving something nice in those conditions

 

I've got good 3M covering the danger zones and we don't salt our roads up here. Plus I only take it out during clear or powdery conditions.
Right now though, everything is melting and it's just sludge and gravel showers.

 

She needs to drive a DCLB to get the full experience

 

Stolen af

 

i'm pretty close to doing xpel on the whole truck. i only have it on the front now and i'm tired of having to buff and opticoat it every year
we do lots of salt around here

 

Not everyone can handle the extra salami

 

You're a brave man

 

Have you tried teaching your friends or family how to drive stick shift in your car?

It's actually a little scary cause they're stalling your car, not used to pushing brakes and clutch together. I could never make my car rock back n forth like they can. If you know what I'm talking about.
