Default What should I do? [Auto or Manual?]

I've got a chance to get my Hot Lava RS1 #0005!!!! in automatic. I could go get it this weekend. Or I can continue waiting for the 5 speed to come in which will prolly be almost a month or so.

I'm dying here! Decisions, decisions,...my brain hurts!

Personally I would wait for the manual. It would be great but once the joy of having the new RS wears off, you will be unhappy with your decision to settle on an auto.

True, but what about the thrill of having #0005?

#5 is to for everyone else to enjoy.

the manual is for you to enjoy.

Manual is more worth it.

The 5 speed is what I test drove and really want, but between the dealer not knowing for sure when the manual will be here and it being #0005 I just have the urge to go buy it. This sucks!

Alright, I've decided to wait rather than rush and get the auto.

If anyone in SoCal is interested in getting it or one of the other two Hot Lavas they have (don't know what #s they are) PM me and I'll give you their info...

Yeah bro...you need to get what will make you happy in the long run. Don't just get an Auto because it's there...you're spending a lot of money, and if you settle for something less than exactly what you want you will regret it.

That's not a hard decision at all. The wait will be hard, the decision is easy.

If you get the automatic, you must be high.

1.5 liter + automatic = teh suck

Get the manual, or get in the right lane so we can pass.

Default get the 5 speed

the dealer should be able to get a 5 speed car mine is set to be delivered on the 10th. But the rep said on 20% of the lavas will be 5 speeds

Is this you only car??? Cause if it is or you can get another car and get that in 5 sp that I owuld get the hot lava. The guy at my dealer said that that paint job would prob cost 3-5 grand to recreate, and the fact of having one makes me (and Doc) all tingley.

Ok Robert...........I've seen your girl.......and here's my suggestion. When you're driving around in that Hot Lava.........you're gonna want one hand on the steering wheel...........and one hand on HER. Forget jerking with the stick shift.
