If you're gonna judge him by his car, just look at his G and the quality of his mods. Does your G have Works on it, so I thought.
I am sure I will be seeing you very soon at a meet in south FLA so I will show you the works of my G.......

It's about the overall driving experience and being in control of your car. If I had a Hyundai, it would still be a manual. So you think your automatic can beat me by .0001sec? BFD. Your automatic can rev match for you? I want to rev match on my own. You're either a manual driver or you're not. Those who are not like to hide behind the LA/DC/NYC traffic BS excuses. Just admit it guys, half of you can't even drive a stick.

Sports Shift function is useful when you are going downhills. I don't know, for me to see a car keep slamming on break when going downhills is just irritating. I guess LA's traffic's been so bad that I am over-sensitive now when people break for no reason (IMO, breaking causes a huge chain-reaction that eventually decreases the efficiency of traffic flow).
