chasing my tail and it's driving me nuts

[PONY LOVER]

I'm in a similar situation. We traded our Velocity Blue 2019 GT in on a Bronco Sport for the wife. I didn't drive it from Thanksgiving to Easter so I didn't think it would be that big of a sacrifice. WRONG!!!! I'm planning on ordering a 2027 GT once the 2027 specs come out. My 1st car was a red 1967 fastback with a C code 289 & 3sp M/T that I bought for $750 in 1975. This is to be my 60 year tribute to it. I'm planning on Premium 401A with Bronze Package, active exhaust & the B & O audio. I'm weighing 6sp vs A/T pros & cons. I loved the manual in the 2019 & my wife loves shifting gears herself. But driving in heavy traffic (our grandkids live in the Dallas suburbs) can be a bitch. I'm leaning 6sp, but......does the occasional PITA overrule the manual experience? I wish Ford would hurry up & release the 2027 order guide.

I live in a beach area. More traffic in summer with plenty of bumper to bumper. But honestly, when I drove several sticks back when, I didn't give it much thought. It was the car I owned and I just drove it. And I mean Chevy Chevette, Chevy Citation, Newer Chevy Nova. Those were not exciting to drive but I didn't bitch. Now I had an auto 2025 GT for a few months recently. Sold it and have a 2026 6sp GT coming in the next week or two. It's going to be pure fun for me, with traffic or without.
