Real cars are manual.

And F1 style paddle shift is for girls.

At my favorite ski lake I recover my boat early just to watch the boozin' boaters try to recover their craft....some locals have olympic style score card signs they use to rate the recovery....lots of good entertainment at the ramp especialy at dusk.

How many boat trailers do you see on the side of the road with 1 wheel gone? Dont have to know how to use em or take care of em.

Manuals are a blatant cry of wanting to hold something phallic, ie, its either the cry of homosexuality or a subconsious admission of having a small weenie.

2002 WRX (weekend fun), manual of course!
2003 Aerio SX (daily commuter, almost as much fun as WRX), again, manual of course!
1996 Dodge Caravan, automatic (wife has to drive something).

My regards,

Widewing

Manual of course.

I'm still having all my hands and legs and I'm also under 40y

I like manuals too, makes the drive more interesting. However... sometimes you can't get what you want with a manual. I drive a F150 SuperCrew King Ranch edition and could only get an automatic. It has taken me almost a year to get used to it

One of the best and I do mean nicest gearboxes I've ever had the pleasure of shifting in an automobile is the 6speed on the Honda NS2000. Very nice looking car, very smooth engine and exceptional gearbox.

Honda engines are great but their gearboxes have never been that spectacular (in terms of feel) cept the NS.

So, all you manual transmission snobs, do you use a crank to start it and your tie to wipe the windsheield, too?

Traffic, Son, Traffic-that is why they invented Auto, thank Cod.

I have pulled out plenty super-duper 4x4 manual transmission'ed trucks from the mud in my simple Auto, too.
