Me either. The first Boxster I test drove was a manual and I do have to admit it was some of the most fun I've ever had driving that car around town. But it hadn't been taken care of and was a complete pig sty. I bought the tip because it was the best deal on the nicest Boxster at the time I was looking. With the heavy DFW traffic, I've really come to appreciate the tip.

I have also gotten pretty good at working the steering wheel shifter switches when having a spirited drive down a twisty country road. It's almost (I said almost) as gratifying as driving a manual. Should something ever happen to this one, my next one will probably be a manual, but I wouldn't kick a tip out of the garage.
