| Definity opt for the stick for the S4... I'm sure once you have it purchased, she'll want to drive and that'll be the extra motivation to learn. Everyone should have a good idea of how to drive one, even if just for emergencies (hey it could happen you know, at a party and you want to drive a drunk friend home but can't drive their car...) Just a part of life. Plus it is more fun and discourages cell phone useage. | |

3 kids under 8 years old. So we need to switch cars fairly often , whoever has all 3 gets the minivan. I tried the stick route a few years ago and my wife did not want to try it. Unfortunately that made me give up my stick. On the plus side, that may be my leverage to get the MR2 Spyder I have wanted for years. Now that winter is here prices seem to be dropping. Now I just need that Christmas bonus to come in. I feel like Clark Griswald. |

Replying to: qbrozen (Dec 07, 2006 6:01 am)  Married 6 years, wife doesn't drive a stick, but my truck and both Alfas are sticks and only her Mazda MPV is an automatic. I still debate turning the truck and both Alfas into a retractable hardtop Miata, but probably won't pull the trigger. They haven't made a Miata yet as good looking as my Alfa, even though I'm sure they drive nicer and are about 1000x more livable on a day to day basis. -Jason |

Replying to: jaserb (Dec 08, 2006 9:31 am) i've been wanting to add a 2nd to my stable for years. Can't seem to find that perfect and cheap 164S or Milano Platinum, though.  I've also thought about getting a more modern droptop ... but I just can't give up the alfa. there's an emotional attachment there, even if I haven't driven it in 2 years. What I might do is get an EOS next time i'm due for a daily driver and still keep the alfa.

Replying to: kyfdx (Dec 08, 2006 12:42 pm) That's a problem only when you are inside driving it - which you aren't doing a lot anyway since they are rarely operational

Replying to: qbrozen (Dec 07, 2006 6:01 am) If the spouse or g/f can't drive a stick, & there's only 1 automatic car in the family, it can be a real drag if the automatic trans. vehicle is out of commission, if only for a day or 2.....
