Hah, sounds like your missing out. Here in central PA, I've got some paved mountain roads around my home. Without going into a rant, twisty mountain roads have always been my favorite place to drive.

^That does seem to be my issue, I hate the car in aggressive city driving, absolutely love it for tearing around in the countryside.
Just out of curiosity, I've gotten 2 comments saying "you can start off in 2nd, but I'd wouldn't do it". I've actually never done it, but have always heard that starting in 2nd is a bad move, is that just because its hard on the tranny? Or does it heavily affect performance/cause some other wear?
I suppose james has the right idea, I should keep my eye out for an auto while attempting some patience and not narrowing my search
