The 5-Speed Edition. All these cars have 5-speed transmissions, although only one of them came from the factory that way. As of Monday, September 30, 2019 at 9:00 PM eastern time:

1. My very first car was a white 1963 Ford Falcon. It had an inline 6 cylinder engine mated to a 3-speed manual transmission with the shifter on the column. My mom bought it for me for $100 in 1971 when I got my license. I promptly ruined the transmission trying to master the the whole clutch/gas pedal dance under tyrannical instruction of my mom’s current boyfriend. It was back to riding a bike after that.
2. Our second Miata was a 1995 Laguna Blue B Package, We traded it in on a second generation 2003 Garnet Red LS Miata and 15 years later we kind of still regret the decision.
3. The third new car Donna and I ever bought was a 1980 Honda Civic in Rhodes Red Metallic with a 5-speed manual. We bought it for me to use to go back and forth the sixteen miles to work at the Meridian (MS) Naval Air Station. That allowed her to drive our already existing 1979 Honda Accord to and from college.

Look out historic races, here I come.
 
 
 		 While the 914 is the Porsche I most think matches my aesthetic, this is the best looking car they make. Unless your favorite grandfather had one of these, I don’t know why you would even consider this.
