LOL I always carry water with me too!! lol I never thought that I could be compensating though! HMMMMM I have to be careful with the shifter though. Sometimes I still automatically reach to shift gears and I have to remind myself I'm in an automatic. lol

I love driving her even though she's not a nice fast car, she's still enjoyable to ride in. I have to confess though that I do miss my stick shift. I've driven stick since 1990 and that was kind of hard to say goodbye to, but she is a nice ride and I can't fault her for not being a stick.

I have to think occasionally as the daily company driver is manual but my cars auto, best of both worlds

That or I'll hit the floor thinking I have a clutch as I'm comming to a red light (my foots like wheres the clutch), happens everytime I get out of a stick and back into my truck lol.

LOL Ay I saw a beautiful Mustang GT back with the light grey racing stripes on it. All leather interior sweet. I peeked into the window and it was an automatic!! DOH!!! I couldn't believe that a Mustang would even come in automatic let alone that someone would actually buy it that way. Maybe I am being to hard on die hard automatic transmission fans, but for me, a car like that is born to be manual!!

I'm right there with you guys. I love to drive my car around after detail or even wash it for that matter. I never just wash my car. I always follow up with somthing to give the finish POP. What makes it all even better is that its a manual tranny as well

Hey now. It depends on what the owner is doing with it. If you're a drag racer pushing some high hp then an auto is better. Its more consistant, stronger, and shifts a lot faster then any manual driver. A high hp automatic car will always outrun a high hp manual car. A lot of people dont understand this. However, for drag racing, Id prefer auto over manual no matter what the hp level is.

I'm sorry can you explain this again I don't understand it! lol

j/k But seriously I didn't know that. I don't know anything about drag racing. Interesting.

Now I learned like 2 or 3 new things today. I"m past my quota now.
