I agonized over getting the 1LE because of the knee thing, and the fact that my wife doesn't yet know how to drive a stick. Not sure she will ever want to drive it anyway.
Will I replace it with an A10? Nope. When it comes to women and cars, I mate for life. My decision is made. Till death do us part. If something tragic happens to my 1LE, would I get the A10....Man IDK. I'd probably wait for the electric.


Would I question somebody with the A10 in their 1LE. F no. Its equal to me. Just like I expect they won't mock me for the M6 as they out run me on the track. (Which there's no way I could blame that on the M6) Feel free to mock my driving skilz though.



I DD a 2001 Aztek, I can take it.


*Ridiculous note - I actually injured myself driving to work in a M6 Sonic RS a bunch of years ago. My knee popped funky when I went to push in the clutch. It was shortly after I turned 40, and it hobbled me for....a couple months. I was like, oh man, Dad was right. 40 sucks! So thats the source of my joint anxiety.
I am in the DCT auto or bust camp.

The only auto I will ever have is a DCT. As quick as the new autos are on the upshift, they will never match that instant crisp downshift that you get from a DCT.
