    Well, I have never actually driven a Boxster, but I did take a "test ride" in one. I admit, the shifting seemed pretty spirited. I could make an exception for that one, I think. The real performance cars probably have done a decent job designing an automatic transmission. And even I will admit there are days in freeway traffic when that shifting gets old. But I also tried to get the hang of manually shifting the Pacifica that the hubby had as a company car. Ugh. Especially up and down mountain roads. I swear you could make a sandwich between the time you shifted and the time it actually changed gears.

    We had the paddle shifters in hubby's BMW M3..."spirited" shifting/driving is an understatement... .....
    I had an Audi S4 6 spd, twin turbo....Dave still beat me..he had more horses and those wicked quick paddle shifts .....man those were some fun rides!

    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.
