Nice! I like that color. I know what you mean about missing a manual transmission. My wife is struggling to learn but I hope she doesn't give up. It's s rewarding to drive when you feel connected to the car. Any plans to modify at all?

Car has the AEM intake already. Hoping to get it tinted soon. Feel like i'm in a fish bowl. may look at exhaust and other stuff soon. With winter coming i will probably be driving my silverado most of the time so i'll have room for downtime if needed.

Congratulations! I've always had a manual and anytime I drive a car that doesn't have a 3rd pedal, I always find myself going to engage it and laughing at myself when there's nothing there. Glad you're back in a manual yourself. Enjoy!

I had a manual legacy and a manual dakota. I got rid of them both a few years back to get an automatic jeep wrangler. i loved the jeep but found that i constantly had a reason not to drive it, comfort, mpg etc. i'll get one again someday but for not i love having a fun good mpg car.
