Yes I will joke around and sometimes get a bit over the top but totally defend what you do to your car is your business. But ... all you new folks be prepared for answers if you do something way out there (i.e. tribal graphics and 12 foot wings) and then ask for opinions BECAUSE YOU MAKE NOT LIKE WHAT YOU GET!
I took a lot of heat at first because my mods all consist of TRD components put on by the dealer before I bought the car. Was called lazy, uncreative, told parts were junk, had 500 statements of what is "better" and just over all put down because I didn't do it myself.
If somebody built the exact same car as the RS.1 from aftermarket parts in their laneway most of the critics from here would likely be praising it as a work of art!

I know the struggle... I have an AT. I can drive manual pretty well, and have in the past in way more serious cars than this, but the lockup clutch in these is pretty good and it's really not THAT different. I drive uphill (often 40% grade) in stop and go traffic sometimes in LA, and I really just didn't want an MT. I've had people in person lambast me for this. I know two ex-professional racecar drivers (one of whom has done F1 tests), and they both drive automatics daily. People need to chill.
But you're right, saying "hey guys what do you think" means you need to be ready for "I hate it, drive it off a bridge with you inside". If you like it, don't ask for opinions!
