this is a heavy choice

[DuMa]

so my color has came into my dealer already and they have it in auto and manual. i had originally put a deposit down (first one at my dealership) to get a 5spd and only 5spd. but a couple days ago, i severely sprained or possibly broken my left ankle so i cant drive stick for now. but now my car has came in and i need to act quick. i can either tell them to hold it off for me but i dont think my color and 5spd will be available when my ankle heals. which is still a question mark at this point because im gonna have it x-rayed today. so should i wait for the car with the tranny of my choice or just get auto now? i can think of 4 scenarios right now 1. i get stick, but cant drive it at ALL for possibly 2 months. 2. i get auto, drive all i can but it still wont be stick. 3. i wait till my ankle heals and they dont have my color and tranny of choice so i have to wait even longer 4. or they do have it when my ankle heals, and i do end up getting my choice. scenario 4 looks unlikely because i dont know how demand is gonna affect that. yeah this fu-kin sucks : :twisted: :twisted:

4. or they do have it when my ankle heals, and i do end up getting my choice.

just wait

you wont be happy if you got the auto and your first choice is 5 spd

more stock will be avaible later

[JdMBboFSD]

here is my take, you should get the car that you want in 5 speed, and since you cant drive it right now, have someone drive it to your house and put it in the garage, and let it sit until u get better....thats what i would do....

this is the more logical choice but i really. really want it now and now im thinking that auto may not be such a bad 2nd choice after all because im in socal and theres always traffic.

i have no garage so it would sit in my driveway. it would also haunt me everday for the time that i cant drive it. so i dont know about that one too.

I would still get the 5 speed. You dont want to regret an automatic for the next 6-10 years if a manual is what you really want. You have waited this long, another couple of weeks will not be that bad.

[explicit_tC]

ya i would say just wait until the ankle heals unless you want the auto which i guess you dont cause your questioning it...

[bB2NER]

get the 5spd. box in the color you want, then go rent a storage unit for the duration of your healing period. you will know your box is safe & sound plus it won't be in your face till you are ready to drive it again. :D

[woodstock]

put an ankle brace on and drive that mother!

[RussianTC]

Choice 5:
Get the auto and change the transmission to manual when your ankle heals. I wonder how much it costs to do that?
But serioiusly ... wait for ur car.

Amen brother.

[ASUgradinWA]

I'd wait... They'll get manual in your color again, plus gives you longer to save up the down payment

[JdMBboFSD]

so many options, i think really u should wait until your ankle heals, and then go on a search for your 5 speed in the color that you want....its not like its a limited release or anything.....if it was, better pic that ____ up really fast....hahah

get the stick
move your tv in the driveway and pretend that youre driving!

i was testing my racing seats before install

[pvt_joker]

get the 5 speed now and shift with one of your crutches

seriously though, this clutch is a beautiful thing compared to my wrx...so smooth and precise. i would wait and get the 5 speed when you're healed

[Rankor]

I would get it now and wait til your ankle heals.

By that time, you won't have to wait a couple weeks, months, whenever until your model comes in again.

Or you can wait, tell me w/c Scion dealer this is in OC and I'll buy it j/k

[DuMa]

well i just got it z-rayed today and it came out negative. probably ligament stretched. so im guessing 2-3 weeks before i can drive

so i can wait until then. thx everyone
