Took my car out for its springtime shakeout drive. Pretty excited to get some miles on it here in NY now that the weather is finally nice.

You've never driven in NY traffic I take it. It's not fun in a 5-speed when you're moving along for an hour at 5mph
Helps if you have lots of low end torque. I know my Scirocco 16V hated that low speed, but 2L Fiats you can drive almost without ever using the clutch, idling along.
