My other big vehicular Christmas present might be an MGB. I was gonna get an FC, but I wanted a real challenge.

For the truck, I've asked for some black LED taillights, LED light bar, and an LED smoked third brake light (what, I like the LED lights). Also put in for a Z71 hitch cover.

I haven't really asked for anything for the car. Been thinking a lot about swapping the engine/transmission from Casper, but that would be a little mroe involved then just simply taking one out, and putting the other in. I would have to have a new drive shaft made and either buy a new Cheetah powerglide shifter set up for C02, or reuse my Hurst quarter stick from Casper with its electric setup.

So I dont know. I'm getting married in May and we're saving for a house now so I'll be doing good to have the extra money to go racing much less have to spend to do the engine/transmission swap.

I guess I could always just swap engines and soldier on with the 3-spd, but I dont really want to do that.

i'm starting to understand your want to go with an automatic. the stealth clutch just burnt out this morning coming up my driveway. and the 944's did in aug/sept? somewhere around there. not my bad driving, just bad clutches wen purchased

But this is also a reason to be glad you have a DIY. Autos can cost mucho mulla to replace.

I would only buy an automatic if I were lazy. Manuals are better in every other way. At least when your clutch slips you can replace it. Start slipping in an auto and you're looking at a rebuild.

Plus, why would you buy a sports car with an auto unless you're a wanker or lazy? (drag racing guys aside)

i think the advantage of an auto sports car...living in a city like NYC. i'd rather have an auto 300zx than my tt or a vr4. also what are the 2dr bmw's considered. grand tourers/family coupes...simple name for sports car, again to make insurance a tad cheaper
