You bought a manual tranny for you wife ? I just made a mistake bought a 6speed G35 coupe for fun.... I regret everyday. I am just too lazy to shift all the time specially in traffic with the clutch. I will never buy a manual tranny again... that's just me. I was expecting fun but I am just too old for that now.

yup - she loves our little 2000 LS - but wanted a hard-top for winter time. if it's not raining or over 100F she has the top down

the previous owner took really good care of it, just has 26k miles - and you can STILL smell the leather like it's new

Congrats Toadster, esp finding a lady who prefers to drive manual.

I really want to get a 1st gen Miata or MR2 just to have a complete opposite of what the AMG's have to offer.

I had a 99 NB miata that I built an LS1 for, but my wife got pregnant, and the project was sold. I like the miatas for what they are, but would love one that was insanely ridiculous!
