We only skied the morning yesterday and then headed over the summit before the storm hit.

The forecast is calling for more snow. We can always use more!

Both my kids have told me they plan to teach their kids to drive stick. All they have to do is find a vehicle with a manual transmission.

Porsche still offers a manual… . Or for something more reasonable, BMW will let you get the M2 in manual.

I drove stick for many years and I miss the third pedal a lot. That said, the ZF 8-speed auto is so brilliant I've sort of lost my desire to go back.

If I did go back, and M2 would be at the top of my list or possibly a used well-kept E46 or E90. Heck, I'd take my '88 528e in a heartbeat as weekend car. I can dream about a 911 but that's never going to happen. I like money too much.
