If people give you shit about your AT just throw these back at them:

"if you do an NASA event in the beginner class, only paddle shift drivers are allowed to shift in the turns to the optimal gear they need." (this helped my buddy with a modded golf GTI mk5 take out porches at Roebling Road, GA)
"the AT will probably have better resale value in the future as MT drivers are a dying breed, and the way an MT was driven can really hurt its tranny/clutch etc..."
"you don't have to deal with stop and go traffic"
"or roads that are basically speed bump mountain ranges"

the GT-R and GTI are not automatic they are a manual gearbox, the frs is an automatic with a tourqe converter. yes it has paddles like the other cars but that is where the similarities end.
