For all you camry guys, if you want a manual the one out of a Solara fits. Research it and you shall find. As far as auto vs. manual...when I wnet shopping for cars I knew there was gonna be no auto in my driveway for a while. I just got tired of poor gas milage and a weak point that always breaks when u need it most.

Personified by the solid connection between the power and the go-go-box.

auto's are ok for your everyday car but your toy has to be a manual, you cant drive it properly if it aint

I suppose that's one way to look at it. Another (and somewhat more popular) way would be that automatics are sacriligious to the world of all things automotive. I'll never own an automatic, myself.

Your not a true driver unless you can drive a stick, and about eating and drinkign and driving learn how to my girl hold onto my arm and lays her head on my shoulder I still shift, get skills, and my first car was a auto it had 220,000 miles and givin to me,on it I had rebuilt the tranny 3 times it cost 1200 each time unless you have a warranty that is crap thjough cause its only good for the first time, the second they dont want to waste there time, 5 spd or 4 or 6 whatever most likely all you need is a new clutch, not a big deal. tried racing my girlfriends car for the fun of it and it shifted before I got to redline,

I owned auto. My first car was an automatic and thats how I started hating them. I would never buy an automatic even if it was a daily driver. And even if I get stuck in traffic I still prefer manual.

Yeah, I've driven auto plenty (you have to when you own a repair shop and you have to test-drive 'em after you fix 'em). But back when my friend first got his license, I used to drive his 92 auto sedan when a big group of us got together, because of the stupid Washington Intermediate license laws (and because I couldn't fit 5 in my car).
