[s-cars] "The Aluminum Crowd" / Current UrS prices

[djdawson2 at aol.com]

Wait... you voluntarily spent the winter in Russia?  I would have thought that that would be more of a "summer trip."  ;)
 
But... I hear what you're saying.  I will always be a diehard clutch and shifter guy... no way around it.

If there were a reasonable way to convert it to a 6 speed... I might consider. As is, I just can't do it yet.

Dave, 
I share your sentiment. I have just returned from Russia where I spent the whole winter. Prior to leaving the States in October of 2006 I bought a 2004 Lexus RX330 and sent it to Russia for me to drive over there. After several months of driving the automatic I can report that this is definitely not my cup of tea. Yes, it's a far cry from Audi, and yes, I had to drive an automatic in the Russian snow, but still... I can't picture myself driving a two pedal car any time soon.
