Same. I recently made the switch due to the amount of time I spend in traffic. While there isn’t anything quite like rowing through gears, paddle shifters make it so I still have plenty of control over gear/rpms ---

Something that makes 'Murica noises and does massive heaters. I.E. Camaro SS 1LE (can’t believe I just typed that), Mustang GT Premium, maybe a Charger Hellcat while I’m dreaming. You know, to appease my practical side. I’m tired of bringing home all these “tinker toys” (so says my father)… ---

I’m in this weird spot where I may find myself commuting a lot less soon, but I can’t be sure. That weighs heavily into my options as it’s nice to have 1 car to do it all… but if not commuting I may take a risk on something older, fun, and potentially less reliable.

Maybe a new(used) truck, 2014 Silverado or maybe a used Ram. I don’t really need a reliable vehicle to get to work because I get a work van I drive to work everyday in. So I can’t justify an expensive car payment on a vehicle I don’t use very often. Let alone anything that sees salt is eventually inevitably rot/rust. But currently I already have 3 vehicles, 2 summer cars and one DD. Maybe I should build a bigger garage or sell my house and buy one since I only have a 1.5 car garage… Full driveway all day every day. ---

Test drove an Enclave tonight with the wife. Not exciting but probably our next vehicle. Really comfortable with tons of room, dead quiet on the highway and the towing capacity I need. ---

Yeah, cause a big top heavy box would be a BLAST with a manual tranny… I mean you could heel toe it through some tight curves, go auto crossing with it like all the faggots like to, have an internet circle jerk over the third pedal.
