haha, funny funny. I was referring to sports cars. If I wanted a manual truck I'd have to drive a ****ty ass Ranger. Obviously not all automatics are for girls. It's just my opinion that sports cars that are automatic are. Like I said before, it's just my opinion. Yours can be different. Chill the f out.

I guess... most people I know that drive sports cars drive stick unless they live in a major city like LA with bad traffic. Maybe my comment was a bit harsh, but for people who are so into their sports cars, I just figured most would drive stick. Maybe I was wrong!

To get back on topic, I went to the doctors yesterday and he drained a bunch of fluid out of my knee. Feels better already. Probably a couple more weeks until I can drive again, unless I get surgery, then probably a couple months.

Awww man I really feel for ya. That sucks. I would be so pi**ed if I broke my leg/right arm and couldn't drive my car. Especially since living in MN we only have about 5-6 months of windows down weather...

LMAO at all the guys bragging about their ****ing crappy ass Trash-3650s

If you had a decent manual trans THEN maybe you could hassle the automatic guys but you have the crappiest transmission Ford ever put in any car so STFU.

Also, OP I cannot feel sorry for you since you have a pickemup with a billit grill rolling on 20s. That is retarded!

I kind of disagree with the 3650 being trash.. Sure the early ones pre fix yeah those were trash but after the fix they have been solid.. Worlds better than that junk t-5 ford used back in the 80's and better than the t-45..

Thats after the fix before the fix yeah I agree with you.


BUT before people trash on autos they should remember a well built auto with a good stall will OWN them at the track. This is why most serious track cars are autos

Personally, I love daily driving a V8 with a stick, and racing a 4cyl with an automatic. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Annnnnnnd, this based off what, you can fix anything to be better than the previous years, point being that transmission is very problematic, anytime a major money corportation really makes an effort to post a TSB on something as expensive to replace like the transmission, ITS JUNK.
Most serious track cars are autos you say, please tell me that sarcasm was intended!

Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
