I love driving a manual, I love not having every automatic fail me sooner or later, but I extremely hate the lack of good manuals in the salvage yards. There's no getting a used T56 for under $ 1500. And that's if you can find one.
Like an idiot I sold the new F40-MT2 I got for $ 400 back when GM had surplused from the '06 G6 GT 3.9L, how stupid was that? I was desperate, but now those can't be had at any price.
