OP, congrats on the decision. I think you made the right one. Its good to see somebody willing to go out there and learn to drive manual, instead of just saying "screw it" and going AT because they don't want to take a few hours to learn a new skill.

I see the ride has wheels and intakes on it, any other mods? If you plan on keeping those wheels, please buy some spacers for the rear. Those things are sunk in bad.

No other mods that I know of, getting it checked out at the dealership today.

Definitely need some spacers for the rear...

Here is the thread for spacers if you got non bolt on. This covers 10-25mm spacers but uses a 20 as an example.

DIY: ** Rear 20mm stud replacement spacers

Sucks I missed Caffeine & Octane - I'll definitely try to make it in March!

I had to get my new wife cleaned up and respectable. The dealership didn't love her like I do....

NO ONE CAN!

Excellent advice!

I was worried about the quality of the picture at first, as it appears there are some major problems with the paint from those but I drove it last night and IT MUST BE MINE!

Some models/cars are best-suited to a certain transmission type.
For example; I would only buy a 3-series with a manual.
