I was watching 3 seasons of initial D and all those gear changes and the awesomeness that ensued made me miss the fact that I didn't have that. Other reasons were, i found driving auto wasn't stimulating enough and the paddles and how they worked were not that useful to my needs.

After putting custom exhaust on, i found the auto really droned that spoon muffler so really for myself, i figured i wouldn't be buying a car for the next 5 years or more so i should get something i really want or i would complain about it all the time.
