I have very little opportunity to do performance shifting and driving on my commute. Every mile driven is not 10/10 and all out speedracer. I have been driving for 45 years and yes the normal everyday drive is mondain even with a MT. If you are talking performance driving I am in total agreement but how many of these things actually get driven that way on a day to day basis (unless by some asshat that thinks the street is his track)?
