·If your best watch isn't worth more than your ride, you ain't a true watch collector.
What are you driving with your watch today?

·The fun car.
The, uh, other fun car. My commute isn't very far.

·I guess I became a non collector when I sold my Rolex Oyster Red Daytona Cosmograph for more than what all three of my vehicles are worth! That's okay. I still have the rest of my collection for solace.😀

·Is that IVC in the background?
Us Spec e36m3 was not "that" fast. Euro spec with the M engine was a different beast. The US did not get a full M engine. Not knocking it but they are completely different cars between the 2 markets.

··Ash @ ΩFNot mine, luckily. But walk into a BMW dealer now and there's a 99% chance you will find no manuals at all on the lot.

·North American cities are known for their long commutes at near walking speed. I do it daily and an automatic is a godsend. My "fun" car is manual and convertible but commuting in it is nasty.

··Keeps his worms in a ball instead of a can.The US has low adoption for manuals... but oddly higher demand from enthusiasts. There has been at least 1 M5 and a high end 911 variant that had manual option only in the US. Although statistically manuals are less common in the states then Europe.

··Ash @ ΩFThey're relatively uncommon in Australia except on cheap and crappy cars, but its also a lot more difficult to drive on many performance cars. The 911 for example, especially the older ones require you to sit sort of side-saddle in the driver's seat as the accelerator is where the brake should be and the pedal box is shifted over by about a full pedal width, so when driving them after my BMW I've on more than one occasion come to a traffic light and stomped on the brake and the gas simultaneously looking for the brake and clutch. There are a few other RHD sports cars that are similarly impacted due to the accelerator being displaced by the wheel well in our countries including a lot of the Italians.
