I think you've misunderstood the analogy here. Your post should have read you'd rather sleep with a shebeast rather than know a supermodel was pregnant with my child by artificial means. I'm on the side of sex

So how can you dish out advice if you yourself can't take it?

Another example: You say nobody here drives their car to its full potential, yet you say they should be upset that their stick shift is slower than a paddle-shift. Why should they be upset, seeing as how they don't drive it to its full potential anyway?

I changed your analogy. Paddle shifting is the new hotness. Manual is old and busted, like a hot dog in a hallway.

I don't think people who choose sticks over paddle shifting are idiots cause they choose a slower car, just like people choosing auto over sticks. I was just stating that paddle shifting is newer faster technology, why not go with that if you want fast.

I don't think they should be upset their stick is slower, it was simply stating the fact if they want speed, paddle is where it's at. Buy whatever you want.

I know the cars are in different categories, but its been a longer process of whittling down a long list. I was looking at,

Trucks: Ram 1500 or Chevy Avalanche

Four doors: the Lancer, the Maz 3, the Jetta, and the Chrysler 200

Two doors: the mustang, and the v6 Challenger.

I got rid of the trucks due to the current cost of gas. If i decide I want something to haul a bike I might just do what a buddy did and pick up an old beater truck for $1500. Due to the overwhelming negative reviews for the v6 challenger, that was removed. The verdict on the new "chepened" jetta seems blah. And I havnt had a chance to see the 200 up close. I've driven both the Maz and Lancer. The question is, do I want a peppy four door... or a 300hp mini-pony car? I probably wont pull the trigger on something until the end of year sales come round. And if I dont see the deal I want, ill wait until spring and come back with more cash...

the analogy was perfect. what you said made no sense. you should watch keiichi tsuchiya's drift bible sometime. you'd realize paddles could never replace a real clutch

Drifting-The art of going around a corner as inefficiently as possible. Any time you have style points in a race makes it gay.
