No manual tranny on the 695

The 695 is out then, I have to have a manual manual...
The extra 10 ponies would be nice, but the paddle shifter is just not what I want
Too bad, but oh well, I'm sure not getting a 695 just save me a truck load of money

dash looks cool and it better be body colored. Would hate seeing a red dash in my blue car

If you bought the sport brand new it would cost ~ $17K which is rather neat. With sport you get the optional 17" wheels standard.

I have eyes for no other car It was a really good decision getting the S out today

Tom has been sick the last week but apparently is feeling better. He asked if we could drive to Poughkeepsie (about 45 minutes away) to get beer tonight...

Sure - long as we can take the blue car

^^ I absolute HATE the new "wink"
