I love how that, of the three McLarens pictured so far, two of them have been parked in front of fire hydrants.
In that year the S was badged as a CLK55 AMG for reasons. Not bad. Even got the Sat-Nav updated with a new cd/DVD for little $. Servicing has been very low cost. A yearly oil change, an A/C service. Will probably need a rag top redo before I need a milestone service on the engine.Picture isn't showing for me... Is it an SL 55 AMG? How stressful do you find owning an off warranty AMG?
3 pedals for the win! Sadly, I think my NSX will be the last manual transimission car I will own, they just don't seem to make them anymore.I don’t have a fancy Acura like you two fellas - but I do have a sleek-looking turbo charged 6 speed manual station wagon.

It used to be that cars with automatic transmissions were more expensive, even in the late 90's, but these days it costs extra to get a manual transmission.3 pedals for the win! Sadly, I think my NSX will be the last manual transimission car I will own, they just don't seem to make them anymore.
My Bronco has the 7 speed manual and it was the cheaper option. Really a 6 speed with a crane gear for off roading. I had to go with the higher trim level though because I also needed a heated steering wheel!

I had to contact Volkswagen - I was able to purchase the last new manual Golf wagon in Canada. This car is now discontinued and so is the manual transmission (except the GTI/Golf R but no wagon)3 pedals for the win!

Which trim did you end up getting? Do you take it off roading? I hear it is an amazing off-roader, straight from the dealership. No modifications or add-ons necessary.My Bronco has the 7 speed manual and it was the cheaper option. Really a 6 speed with a crane gear for off roading.

Our daily driver has the paddles as well, with a dual clutch transmission, but I barely ever use them.My last car was a manual, i definitely miss it. With electric cars coming, I figured I better get used to not shifting gears. I have paddle shifters in my current car, but it's little more than a gimmick.
