^ I agree. The AT in my twin is a compromise that I enjoy. (I have NEVER ate a Cheesburger in my car though)

I'll rephrase; I have never had a Cheese burger... It's a Vegi Burrito or nothing for me! ( Ok... And some popcorn)

Almost, but not quite. Manual drivers have their share of bullshit, but they don't end up making excuses for how it's as good as an automatic.
And before you say it, my periodic rants about manuals being better in heavy traffic are not excuses. They are true, at least for me. Driving this Impreza in stop and go traffic yesterday was awful. I've decided to swap a manual into the Eagle so it will be easier to drive in local traffic. |

Irrational? Trying to have a rational discussion with the Priests of the Temple of Standard is like having a conversation with any other zealot. It is funny that in the 40 years I have been involved in car culture the fanatics only seem to come about in the last 10 or so. A good car was a good car no mater how the gears were changed.

Yep, all quiet on the home front, now.
#2 resident GD built a fort out of the blocks that belong to resident GD #3. The toddler (GD#3) decided to re-arrange it. GD#2 got pissed that her build was messed with and tried to discipline GD#3. GD#3 retaliated by tearing the whole thing down. GD#2 screamed "this is the worst evening of my life"! Resident GD#1 was apologizing to ma-ma and pa-pa for the behavior of her siblings. OK, so I returned to reading the forum - or did I - hard to tell. About 10:30 PM, I shut off the computer, ma-ma closed her I-pad and we loaded them up to take them home. All was then quiet - humfrz |

Yes, I have an AT, but I could have purchased the MT. I have about as many miles driving in MT vehicles as I do in AT vehicles, and chances are the mileage adds up to as much or more than you have driven. I would not drive just "any" AT, but I do happen to like the one in the FRS. Like you said earlier I've driven an MT enough that it is "automatic" to me when driving one, either around town or around an oval. It is a different driving experience than paddle shifters, but I really can't say it's better, just different. Neither lets me be a better driver, although one or the other could impact my speed (and depending on the situation, one or the other would be better). Besides, I could "has cheezeburger and text on my phone" as well as adjust the radio, roll down the window and flirt with MomHawk all just as easily in an MT. So there....

Soon you will all be longing for the good old days of driving ANY transmission in human-driven cars as it was more engaging than sitting facing backwards in your vehicle, sipping tea, and reading a book about how 110 is the new 50.

I was leading the study (believe it or not) and there was this good ol boy from the southern US, that talked real slow - yep, even slower than me. So, I would try to speed him up by "putting words in his mouth". He got irritated at me and blurted out one morning "humfrz, we from the South may talk slow, but that don't mean we think slow". My lesson learned - humfrz |
