I've been dutifully trying to locate a lightly-used Bimmer convertible for the "Bride Of"---quit laughin' guys, how d'ya think I'm getting the Butler? Well, I found a DISTURBING amount of M-3s had slushomatics! Almost as bad was the number of Z-3s and 328-323s which had 'em. Across the street (in Danvers, Mass.) was a Chebbie dealer. OF COURSE, I went over therer. There were at least 30 'Vettes there including the new Z-whatever. With the exception of trhe latter---over 70%. or about 23 of the used ones had SLUSH-o's! Sofa-Nation, Rise Up! Cast off trhe chains of your slavery---by a crash box!
Save us! Jaysus--a brand new Maranello (275?) was in the BMW place with---GASP! Paddle shifters! OMIGOD. It's practivcally over! Fight them off! I talked to two prospective NNEW M-3 buyers and asked the (cagily) what "options" they were going for...Ready? One for the AUTO
and the other---the TRIPPED-ONIT!
BOTH--I swear to God said that they'd NEVER "learned stick-shift". So m,uch for the 30-nothings. Again..please, Ertu, take no offense--we TYPE-A porkers are nuckinn' fus, anyway. Disregard our foam-entings!
See why they say "No good deed goes unpunished?" A decent guy like you asks a perfectly okay question. Another decent chap (Ike) waves the red flag---and---and---whatchaget? Moi!
PS: Foregive me Ertu---I was taking down old sheetrock, jury-rigging some 220 V wiring, and re-rocking my studio---it must be that, plus the medications............
Sorry, Ertu, gotta agree with Ikestaa
