This pretty much sums up how I feel too.

Did you really call guys with autos bitches??? Yeah, that's not at all childish

You should log onto a GT-R or IS-F forum and tell them to sell their shitboxes and man up to a real car

Driving in traffic sucks and anyone who doesn't enjoy spirited driving will want an auto for their commute.

Lets hope that this doesnt mean AUS and NZ dont even get the toyota ft-86:

The sad part is that it takes only a few days of casual driving to learn how to use a standard transmission. If you don't know how to drive one, I'd just call you lazy.

Hell, such a skill might even save your life someday! What if you have to get away from some mass murderer and the only get-away option is a car with a standard transmission that is, for some ungodly known reason, outfitted with a on/off race clutch?

Things to think about!
