Sad that so many FR-S drivers self-worth and awesomeness is wrapped up in what sort of trans they have. This is the first AT I've ever had and its a blast, and I don't give a second thought about how great the other guy is because he has an MT. I just enjoy the look of frustration on his face in the mirror.

Edit: I'm going to convert mine to a three-in-the-tree and lord my awesomeness over all.
Hey Cat, haven't you figured out yet that to many here any auto is the equivalent of an old 2 speed Powerglide? There is a whole generation there that believe MT and RWD are weird and wonderful mysteries that only the truly awesome can manage and if you don't want the same then you are just not in their league.
