wow...you guys were right; this is the most FUN I have ever had on a manual; there was NO learning curve; smooth like I have been driving this clutch for awhile...I am crazy for this car... now the questions, is there a trick for getting into 6th gear; seems like it is over and then down? and what is with the "fake" silver like stuff that outlines the A/C vents that is chipping off; what can be done?
