I guess I'm just confused on why someone would buy a manual transmission sports car and then try to drive it like an auto trans econo-car...
You wanna pay for my gas? I drive 500 miles a week so an extra I can squeeze out is great.

Plus when I use 3rd all the way up to 70 on the highway you still want my to pointlessly and quickly shift into 4th and 5th before 6th.

I'll get run over by cars that actually have power if I use all the gears getting on the freeway. I'm already getting my doors blown off by Kia Optimas and Dodge Caravans.
