She looked to be in her 40's or 50's so definitely too old for me but she was still in decent shape. I bet she was a fox 20-30 years ago.

Any woman that drives a manual gets a +1 IMO.

My dad had a C5 years ago, and my mom gave him shit for not getting a manual the whole time. When he bought his 997S she made sure he did it proper. She probably drives it the most.

see,that`s how different the perception of the subject "manual" is here,..

for you guys it`s something special,for us it`s totally normal
I`d never dare to make such a statement here in Euroland

^+1. Manuals are common here too. Automatic is a luxury, or sort of.

People who bring up the traffic argument when it relates to manual transmissions and their practicality really bug me.

When you walk, how many feet do you use?

They don't. They use Segways.

I really like manual cars, I drove a 458, 599 but I enjoyed a manual F355 the most; used it the whole day in and out of traffi. it's not that bad as some might think,The only manual I've got is a 2008 Nissan Patrol (SUV). I would love to have a manual hatch back or sports car, too bad they don't make the 458 in manual as that would be perfect.
