  1. “Slamming it in,” with reference to shifting a MT, will only break it, or wear it out! I always try to give a car what it needs… One of my earliest cars was a stroker Saab 95, with a very delicate MT on the column, so I learned to shift with 2 fingers. I still try, as much as possible, not to force anything…

  2. Aren’t these cars called “Pagodas?”

  3. I have a GLK350, which is at least DISTINCTIVE! With its unusually boxy, upright design (for a contemporary Merc), it has a little more utilitarian in it, which I like. It also has that big 6, which gives it more than adequate oomph! If it had a MT, it would be perfect! I do happen to think it looks pretty good.

  4. I LOVE those cars (they are among my earliest infatuations), but never could afford one, and never knew anyone who had one… and with a manual! Wow! At least now, thanks to Tedward, I get to drive one (vicariously at least)!
