My name is Charles and my number is four 1 zero 6 two 7 one 4 one 9. I am just selling the car for the owner. Number and contact info is of owner. If you want to see the car call Charles.

This part of the listing literally hurts my head. What the forget does it even mean? My number is this. It's not my number. If you want to see the car, call someone who's number I didn't or maybe did provide.


I'm a purist when it comes to manual gearboxes, but I'm not an elitist. If I can get a car in manual, I'll get it in manual. That said, my car is auto and I guarantee it's every bit as engaging as any car you've driven. As you guys have said, manual shifting becomes second nature and automatic for your body to do after driving a manual for a while. So at that point, it's about as engaging as blinking. The reason I like manuals isn't because it's 'engaging,' but because it provides more precise control over the car.

Guys, my dad rented a convertible mustang in Miami and it only costs him $35USD per week. Are rental cars very cheap in the US? That's a bit more than a manual Volkswagen Gol without A/C or a stereo with bluetooth/AUX/USB in Argentina.

I can get behind that tho. my mom's veloster lets you manually control the gear changes with paddles or the stick if you choose to do so. no clutch, and otherwise it's auto. and I actually like using it, especially because it prevents the car from shifting down on its own when you're climbing a hill with cruise control. which gets on my nerves

Holy crap.
