[QUOTE=Perfectlap;352423]This is where Europe and the U.S. are very different. 99% of women drivers (except PorscheChick) will not go near a manual transmission. QUOTE]

When we got married, my wife added to the fold a mid 80's Mustang 5 litre. I hated that car. When I asked if I could replace it, she specified "it has to be a convertible, MANUAL, and I have to like to drive it". That was on a Wednesday. By Saturday, the Boxster was in the driveway waiting for her.

It's been her daily driver ever since! Have to be honest though, when it's at home I take it before the 911.

Err, I think Porschechick said she has PDK in her car. Of course, one could argue shifts are faster.

Actually, you're both right.

I think PerfectLap was referring to my driving a manual Celica for 6 years. I loved that car, tons of torque, very responsive and quick.

But, yes, I went the lazy route and now have a Boxster with PDK.

the only thing the script writers of that show know about Porsche driving/history is how quickly they can get from the studio to Mastro's trendy steak joint.

chick cars in LA are Range Rovers, Cayenne Turbos, Bentley convertibles and whatever Kim Kardashian is driving this week.
