Dave,

No, I will NEVER get tired of shifting. I can't imagine the day when I'll want to get rid of my Five Speed 300E.

My love for stick shift cars, makes it difficult in this country to find a car I really like.

The new C Class will be available with a Six Speed. I wish they would make the E Class available with one.

Even if the day comes when I move to a newer Benz, I'll still have the 300E.

Have a great day,
