    I think it depends on where you live. We had a 385hp awd bmw here in Ohio and it was kinda boring on farm roads. I will likely never own another sports car that has two pedals. Also boring.
    The three pedal cars are a rapidly dying breed.  On the plus side, if you own one you can park it unlocked with the key in it and today's thieves can't steal it.  They can't drive it! =)
    Happy Friday!
    The other advantage of three pedal cars is that they make for much cheaper rental options in Europe. Our recent inquiries found that manuals were almost half the price of automatics. 

    Recently drove a Gen Z staff member in my wife’s manual and they were entirely perplexed!
    SWMBO was taught to double de-clutch - try explaining that to anyone under 30.

    Best technique I was taught was by my police instructor, and that was to hold the accelerator to stabilise the engine before engaging the clutch.  Makes all the difference.  

    We were taught to sequence;  speed, position, gear, acceleration.  Which meant brakes are for braking, so find the correct speed then change to the best gear, not going down through the box for engine braking.

    My son has zero mechanical sympathy and treated all the peddles like switches.  He's well suited to an auto.

    My daily is a 500hp all wheel drive Audi and it’s never boring. Even the cold start is amazing.

    My daily driver Ford has 475hp and over 1000lbft of torque... weight gets to be a issue when factoring fun.

    Cold start is when a car bares its soul.  
    I take it you’re alert to VAG predilection for piping engine noise in to the cabin?

    I’ll try and get a picture of my tractors cold start after sitting in the barn all winter, it’s impressive if you like a little smoke in your cold start cough.

    Would’ve had you pegged as more of a EweLube kinda guy.

    Pegged? Lube? Exploring holes? 

    I thought this was a G rated forum.

    I definitely could not have named that ride.  @DoubleEgger - your frequent sightings are nice.  High roller traffic routes.  
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. CHEETO (aka Agent Orange) makes Nixon look like a saint.
