Sports cars and "green" don't go together. So you can't use that crap.

Next!

Play your cards right and the ladies will be all over you when you tell them that your manual 370Z gets several mpg more on the highway than the automatic version.

Or just ride a bicycle, no harm to the environment at all

Except when your *** doesn't use the sidewalk and slows traffic down.

go for it lol i've found that 99% of girls dont give a fuck if your car is a stick or not

it's more or less how much the car cost and how nice it is.

going on that i'd say we are all good. except for those in here with no game......and trolls.

What all are you doing while driving (other than driving)? i rarely "multitask". other than doing advanced calculus on my way to my to my doctor/rocket scientist combo job

I am just going to put this out there. I can tell by comments people make as to whether they have actually driven a 7at and LEARNED how to use it as opposed to some of the comments that are juat plain not true. I really don't care which you prefer but don't try to make an argument with flat out lies. I would go through and call out each post but come on guys just because you are on the internet doesn't mean you can just shoot stuff out your butt.

Women like a guy who is good with his hand It takes a certain amount of finesse to drive a stick shift well, and women know that. If you can show a lady that you are skilled enough to shift a car without giving her whiplash, she’ll be sure to want to see what other skills you have.

it's not often, but when I have to take my dog with me in the car he's a handful
sometimes I get calls from work while driving that I have to take (or I have to call into meetings)
