LOL - you had me at hardbound book. This is the one that drives me nuts - there is nothing better about reading a physical book - literally nothing - over an ereader. For those that can't stand looking at LCDs, look at the Kindle Paperwhite - those screens give nothing up over a physical page. And yet you have people all over the place that just "love the feel of a real book". Drives me nuts.

Me, I read everything on my iPhone5.

Do you hate the metric system, too? The US doesnt want to switch to that either, but it doesnt mean our current system is right...

The P-car is on another plane than the M5... If i didnt have to move 5 cars across country every 1-2 years, I would have both. I personally think both are better in their automatic variant.

This thread was meant to rib Coldlist, who had been stalwart in his support of the M cars for branching out and expanding his stable to include Porsche. I think he know has the best of both worlds!

But hey, if you like having that stick in your hand at all times, that's great - enjoy!

And don't forget the rice rocket wannabes that just mash the gas pedal at every red light.

I do have a question for you, are you saying the Ferrari 458 driver is lazy/grocery store driver?? Not sure I follow your logic here. Agree there is a place for a MT as I have one in my 991S since the M5 is DCT. I would say 15% of the population of M owners like a MT which is ok, but the other 85% lazy??

Ill get groceries all day in the 458-

I love the passion for what we own or lack of it for what we dont but lets all consider some perspective too.

LOL!

Haha, good analogies.

Also, not all sticks are created equal! (That's what she said)

I remain unimpressed with BMW's recent interpretation of the 6MT.
