    Thanks! Still working on getting a (restricted...) driver's license. I had a dream last week that I was driving a 328, so the fire still burns. Or smolders.

    Maybe a 3xx with F1 'box? I'm leaning toward 'assisted shifting' myself........

    (edit)
    Hey! You're back in California! (You're crazy too.......) Great news!

    Well... it is the car that brought me the most joy in driving. I’m sure there are “better” cars, but there are more than a few drives that I’ll always remember vividly.

    I've been visiting on occasion. But when you're doing driver training in a white hybrid Camry with a steering wheel-mounted spinner knob it's hard to log in here and read about the F8.

    What a treat it has been to have Jon racking up some posts....

    I can’t afford a F8 so reading about it is just mindless entertainment.....and like all of the numb isolated cars of today, I have no interest anyway.

    I bought a 2005 Ford GT a year ago and it is raw and visceral just like a supercar should be.

    The 355's came with an F1 box and theyre definitely in the drivers camp.
    And theres 360s on up with dsg.
    Never thought I would say this about paddles but they work their own magic. Yes stick has something a mechanical dimesion paddles do not,, and while paddles lose some dimensions they add others. Its hard to describe but each is appealing in its own way. It depends on road and eviroment whether paddles or stick shine.
    Reading your recent posts, theres a ferrari or porche in your future, the only question is which one,and thyere all apealing in their own way.

    Finally …

    Took my first DMV road test since 1982 and I now have my driver’s license back. Restricted, but back.

    I still don’t have a car, but … that will change.
