Many manual drivers find the extra level of engagement, well… engaging!"

Why are you driving a car that was already built then? Go build your own, go find your inner hot rod. If you're are going to talk about doing things your self that you can not say that about a brand new spanking car.

If you wanna talk about doing things your self, then do them. Talk the talk then walk the walk.
