great excuse to buy a civic M3

It's like if a girl asked which jeans make my ass look better? and you respond, go to therapy so you have higher self esteem.
It would actually be more of a "go workout your ass will always look good in any pants" type of answer.

Driving my M3 hard seems to get rid of the headache better than aspirin, at least for the time I am in the car.

good for you, no parking anxiety or dirt phobia. best to park it in the garage and look at it just to be safe.

Its the opposite, the 6mt weights less but the the mental weight of being slower than a DCT adds it back in...

yeah, but you need to offset the muscle loss from the low usage of your left leg. Your body will likely lose about 10 lbs of muscle from your left leg by not using your left leg to push down the clutch.

You can left foot brake corners you don't have to downshift for. Usually longer sweepers after short straight. Or essess to set the front in the second and later ess.
