Really? Because I thought I was being nice. I was just responding to this comment...

the reason you didn't like the AT is because automatic transmissions are fun-sapping lazy-people devices. Yeah they keep getting better, faster, more gears, better mileage....but in the end they are still automatics. They take away the control a clutch gives to the driver. They take away the feel as you row through a manual gearbox.
I have driven a number of modern, fantastic automatics. I appreciate them for what they are, but they do not belong in a sports car. Period.

Which seems pretty blatantly directed towards people with an automatic... You can obviously see how he feels about them. Id say its an insult but I guess I could be wrong.
So I thought I would just share what I thought about these manual drivers out there that think they are the cream of the crop and like to "diss" other people about their selection of a transmission.
Oh, and how that transmission somehow ends up labeling its driver.
Apparently that makes F1 drivers lazy. Just saying.
And before anyone says its not an automatic I dont give a shit. They still aint rowing their own gears. Hell this guy has a steering wheel that has buttons to give the man water.
