Ruh-Roh. Just bought a manual yesterday.’05 Corolla supposed to get 41 highway.

Not good for resale, but we drive our cars into the ground.

First manual in ten years. It came back to me pretty quick.

Downside for me is that it’s much harder to eat and drive, although I usually do that on the highway.

That is the nice thing about the 240Z with that strong straight 6 and a serious clutch... You can take off in 2nd and keep it there until about 55-60. Well, back when I was young and stupid, anyway.

It's performance is wasted on me today. I learned that I, too, can die ugly. ;)
