    Default I feel your pain!

    Happened to me too. The front seat just got too crowded so we had to up and buy another one!!! It only hurts right up to the point where you get to take your first family ryde....then it isn't a thing of beauty!

    Default You Know..........

    You know you brought this all on yourself, The cure is go get her a new one with automatic,
    but then.... hers will be newer so you will have to trade yours in for a new one and then it go on and on and on....

    But if's not what you've got in the Sport that matters: it's what you get out of it, that is truly important!

    Going to wait until fall rolls around and try to work some magic on a leftover. no experience at all with the dealers in south western pa or over along the ohio river in west virginia, except for laser alignment. haven't needed a dealership for any repairs. time for some research. probably trade her 2015 Nissan juke in and become a single car family with 2 spyders.

    Default Gonna cost me

    Might want to check with I-Motosports, supporting dealer. It's said around these parts that they give great deals and can deliver to your home!!! Or of course there is Len @ PitBull in Springfield, Mo. And there is also a dealer whose name eludes me in the Dallas, Tx. area that is said that can't be beat on price. I'm sure others on the forum can fill in my blanks. Exciting times ahead. Keep us in the loop
