re: #431 Unshaken Defiance

Just had my first experience with Mercedes 7 gear paddle shifting. Manual shift, unless something in the car disagrees with you. Weird. I like a real manual.

When I got the Challenger, I got it with an automatic (quicker 0-60! fer real!), mostly because I’d been stuck in traffic crawling up a steep hill too many times in the Subaru I had, and Mrs. FBW was tired of hearing me bitch about it.

The week after I got it, I got what turned out to be sciatica in my right leg. I’d have been in real pain working through 6 gears with a manual!
