I thought I read somewhere that there was going to be a manual in the next couple of years.

No, that's a new one (2009). She had too many concerns about the used one and there were a few things about it she didn't like (black leather interior). This one is everything she wanted except navi.

Got in a wreck on the way to BR. I'm okay but the rear end is pretty bad. I'll post pics some other time.

Think it was just speculation. Being they are trying to be very good in performance, I don't know if it's gonna happen

Nah, I doubt it's totaled but the rear end is smashed in a good bit.

Worst place to have to an accident... Atchafalaya Bridge. 4 car pileup, got rear ended by a Tiburon who got rear ended by a Monte Carlo AND sideswiped by a Durango

Still runs smooth

I heard about your accident on the news last night. Have you even gone up to ATL to get the engine yet?

sounds like something or someone was stopped right in front of you and the people behind you didn't have enough space to react.
Following too close FTL.

Why was traffic stopped on the bridge?

If you are thinking about navi, let me know, and I can cover all of your options with you.
