You are perfectly entitled to enjoy the archaic action of depressing a clutch pedal and grabbing 1st instead of 3rd on that 4-3 downshift while you only have one hand on the wheel. Meanwhile I'll pass your old-timey 'sploded trans ass with a smile on my face while snicking through gears with precision and both hands on the wheel.
What other "Don't let" battle crys where there for soon-to-be-outdated automotive technologies?
