No, I'm fine. I'm pointing out that you twisted my words into something else to get a rise out of me.

I don't need to present anything. You need to reread this thread and understand that I never disagreed with anything you said about manufacturing. I never quoted you about manufacturing, and I never said anything you said about it was wrong. That's a fact.

I did question whether you knew anything about the emissions regulation that you claimed "makes perfect sense" about why Subaru couldn't put a red manifold on automatics, and it turns out you indeed did not know what you were talking about. I didn't claim to know, just like I freely admitted I'm not intimately familiar with the details of manufacturing logistics. I was just curious about the claim that emissions factored into that decision and wanted to know the answer.

Does that document explain which emissions regs prevented Subaru from putting a red manifold on the autos, but allowed them to put one on the 6mt's? You already admitted earlier that you didn't know the specifics, but now you do and they're in a document from 2012? Which is it?
