suck it up and go stick.....I live in a suburb of chicago and am in the big city twice a week at least.....sure sitting in traffic isn't fun but you get used to it.....I went with stick primarily because....

- love at first site with the carerra white black interior but it was stick, I couldn't find that color combo anywhere....searched all through ebay and the auto traders....the dealer claimed they could get me a tip in april (it was late Jan) but the car was slated for cali so there was a chance they could have had a buyer.....who knows if it was true, regardless

- 0-60 in 6.8 tip which probably means closer to 7 flat for a 52K car!! no way, camry's would eat me up.....that was as depressing to see as when I jumped on the scales and it read 360 a while back

- lastly and I stress lastly cost, didn't come into play until after the decision was made....once I accepted I could drive stick (1st stick car) then I thought why spend the extra money.....
