It's complicated?

I can't imagine my car not being a manual though if I replace it with the 992 I think I might try the PDK

Everyone raves about them so probably worth trying since you've already had a manual 911 or 2?

Yeah and replacing a clutch sounds like a minor annoyance compared to replacing an engine.

Hmm- what's the issue with that? I mean, sure, older Mustang's were shitboxes but the new ones are pretty nice. Sound great, look great, handle well, etc.

The Mustang is a weird car. It's big, but it doesn't have a lot of interior space--less than a 2 series, by a lot, especially in the backseat.

It may have better visibility than a Camaro, but it still feels like you're driving an ironclad warship through narrow gunslits in a pilot house located way, way aft.

It's not a car that's particularly practical for me.
