I used “commonly” inappropriately because of a mental error. I know, it made it confusing. I was speaking about drivers in general, but then I was thinking about racers like guys at the track wanting to win regardless of how and people who want to just enjoy racing and besting themselves; if they happen to win then cool. I hope that clarifies those sentences because I think we could agree that most people who race are out to win—they are racing others more than racing themselves.

Autos are faster, but a manual is still less than a half second. I wouldn’t really call it painfully slow unless you need help with your technique.

True, nannies are a different thing, but the sentiment is the same, which is what I was trying to communicate with the quote instead of just describing my opinion. That doesn’t mean the sentiment is universal, which is why I said it can apply. The point was your sentiment about not wanting nannies is the same sentiment others have about not wanting the automatic nanny. Watch the latest Fastest Car on Netflix where this mentality is pervasive.
