It’s deeper than second nature to me. I’m probably even more of a purist than you because I commuted to/from Cambridge (shithole) in a non-power steering 85 targa. With a clutch heavier than your mother in law. I think in heavier vehicles the clutch and driveline lash bothers me more. In lighter cars I really don’t find manual transmissions to be all that bad even in traffic. The last car that really bothered me was the CTS-V? The clutch on the 996TT is a bear, but I still found that to be just fine in heavy traffic. Automatics are better than ever so I”m sure it’s still fun. But I would never, for example, have wanderlust about a McLaren or a new C8 just because it’s PDK. That just has zero appeal to me. I get the argument that “it’s faster” but isn’t it even more amazing if “I’m keeping up with you with three pedals”?

Silver is boring but the cocoa interior is quite nice. |
