But most importantly does it get in the way pulling the boot when you're going sideways! =P

The phone sits just in front of the end of the e-brake. No overlap. Still works as intended

Dude, shift your own gears??? That shit takes work! I don't have time for that!

. All kidding aside, yeah I went with AT over MT because its a daily. I prefer not to sit in shitty LA traffic with a MT. It also makes it convenient if other family members, gf, etc. need to drive the car. Thankfully the AT gearbox is quite great (and I DID have a DCT before OMAHGAWD!) and I don't feel bad having one when guys like Moto and Dai Yoshihara have ATs

. I may regret the decision later though as I'm looking into getting an 08 Forester XT to become my daily and relegate the BRZ to a weekend car. At that point I'll probably kick myself for not having a manual.

Good old slushbox over that unreliable dual clutch gearbox any day of the week. - previous owner of DSG

I bought my AT for all those same reasons -- especially because I was getting married at the time and my wife is already a terrible driver. We would only have the BRZ for about six months. I'm regretting my decision once I bought my wife a car about a month ago, but it was a godsend in those first six months.

I totally understand. I almost got an AT, but I realized that Anchorage isn't THAT bad. Last night I let three young friends drift my car in a high school parking lot. Two are new to driving manual and one is a little more experienced. There was a 16-year-old guy, his 18-year-old sister (grrrr baby) and their 24-year-old aunt (more grrrrr baby). They had a BLAST! And they didn't even burn clutch!

Today I received some JDM goodies that I'll post up in other threads. Sorry for the Instagram pics.

Yeah that happens a lot in Alaska where they look younger as they get older? It's happening to me, too. No joke, I was looking at pics of me in my mid-teens and I looked a lot older than I do now! Go figure.

Anyways, yes, last night they were all "Drift! Drift!"

Buncha "Woo" Girls!
