Re: six's 2015 Chevrolet SS Sedan 6MT

Glad to see you're still liking it.

There's a guy that lives a street over from me that has a black SS. It's a manual, thank Dog, and I've seen him driving it a few times. If the dude is ever outside when I'm walking past with the dog, I'm totally asking about it.

Re: Autonomous cruise control

Interesting...They've programmed them to filter in wide lanes at traffic lights. To a certain extent, the Google cars, as they are programmed to be more human-like, will start having "accidents' due to misreading other driver's intentions (It thought the bus would yield to it) just like real p...

Serious question, what year is this car?

I like it, seems decently laid out. But it also looks the exact same as a Honda interior (button wise - not total layout) from the late 90s, early 2000s.

I like to think Google Bears taste a bit more plastic-y with a hint of electricity and the aftertaste of world domination.

Re: Greetings from NC

Slightly belated welcome! I have a friend who bought a very similar vehicle when he moved down to Florida for work. His leaks oil, but other than that, pretty sturdy little car - considering it's closing on 20 years old, that's not bad at all.

Re: SUV'S With A Manual

I wasn't surprised by much of this list, though I didn't realize that both Mazda with the CX-5 and Honda with the newer HR-V kept manuals available. Good for them! :D
