    It's more than a bit rapey.

    But it's boy love so that's expected.

    Fusion? About '09? We bought QW an '09 Focus back in the Spring. Manual transmission, heated seats, moon roof, XM radio. She absolutely loves it.

    2010, but that's pretty close. 6 speed manual, almost no extras. It has satellite radio but I don't have a subscription. I do wish it had the moon roof, my last car had one and I really liked it. But I got a great deal on this one so I'm okay with it. I wanted something cheap and practical and that's what I ended up with.

    I bought remote-control multi-color LED lights for my TV! So cool! I got them for like $34 on EBay. The remote has this neat touch-sensitive color wheel on it that controls the color and fading/strobing/solid-color functions :)

    Oh also, the actual lighting behind the TV is much more smoothly blended and less blotchy in real life, I just used my cell phone camera to take the pics :/

    It's still going strong... I've collected side-skirts and a rear bumper - I just need to get a front bumper and carbon fiber hood and then get it all to the paint shop somehow! I think I will supercharge it next year sometime if I can manage.

    There are not many cars that aren't improved by a manual transmission!:)

    If you have sit in a lot of stop-n-go traffic, a manual transmission can be a PITA.

    I don't have a strong preference for standard transmissions but it's what rolled my way, so to speak. If I were to ever buy something sporty I'd probably insist on it having three pedals but for a grocery getter I'm not really fussed either way.

    Stop and go traffic is a pain in the ass no matter what kind of car you drive. The secret is to get a job that doesn't require commuting.

    So far after just over a week of ownership I'm pretty pleased with it.

    Some manual transmissions are worse than others. In S-N-G traffic the ones with low ratios in the first few gears (0-10 1st, 11-20 2nd, 21-30 3rd, etc) mean almost constantly working the clutch to up-shift, then down-shift, then up-shift, then down-shift. The clutch set-up also makes a difference. We had a Ford Ranger where the clutch travel was seriously long, more like that in a like a full-size work truck than in a car.

    Our Nissan Frontier isn't bad. The clutch travel is relatively short (for a truck) and it's geared so that constantly shifting gears isn't necessary.

    Omg. You guys... my bike frame is built.

    And it's getting painted (well, primed right now...)

    Behold, the sex.
