I think you are ignoring the giant problem. You seem to think, due to what I can only pray is ignorance, that if you own any dsg or auto car you are automatically no longer a car enthusiast. I am beginning to think you don't even know what it means when you say it.
I'd classify many friends on here with "automatics" as enthusiasts, christ I've seen kids with stock civics that are more of a "car enthusiast" than yourself. They embrace cars and the fun hobby it is, period. You seem like nothing more than a child with a chip on his shoulder, ready to tear apart anything that isnt a magical autozone 6 speed vette.
Win or lose, at the end of the day we are all friends here, a bunch of real enthusiasts.
Please continue to educate us on what are real enthusiast cars are though, we are dying to meet your criteria for acceptance! :lolguy:
