Thanks, guys.

The F1 is pretty amazing. The shifts are incredibly fast, but still have a very mechanical feel to them. When you're rolling of the line, you can feel how the system is slipping the clutch ever so slightly to get you rolling.

It's a tossup, though. Before I picked the F430, I test drove a 360 with a manual gated shifter. Man, that **************** is very fun too. The click sounds when you shift are very addictive.

And it is kind of sad that with the Boxster gone, I no longer have any stick drives at all. The Audi is a torque-converter automatic and both of the sport cars are egear/f1.

The sidemarkers are a joke. Especially the small bubble ones. Ugh.

They do the same **************** on the Gallardo, but at least it blends in okayish when the car is yellow. Red and orange is a bit more gnarly.

I'm sorry to hear about your financial troubles Mr. Webster. It must be terribly frustrating to have to trade down from a Boxster to an F430.
