I consider that child abuse. They should have taken you away from your parents!

Manual. If for no other reason than you can use it to start the car when your battery is too low to crank the starter.

Wife made me go to automatic for two reasons:

(a) whenever we'd go to special events where there would be a lot of stop-n-go traffic in the parking lot and immediate vicinity, I always voted for us to drive her car (which had an automatic) because I didn't want to burn my clutch;

(b) when it came time for a new vehicle, she made me buy automatic because she was tired of us always taking her car to special events where it could get dinged up by too-close parking.

I said "Fine, but its got to have a minimum of 6 cylinders."

Only gay people use auto. It's for soccer moms. One exception is disabled people though.

It's the same as with scooters where you just give gas and have two hand breaks and no way of shifting gear. Too easy, no fun, performance lost.

If you're gay/drive auto FunkedUp; lemme know. Kirin has a g-string he isn't using anymore - it's a bit on the dirty side with lots of human DNA on it, but nothing that can't be washed away.

Yeah, try to tow a 7,000 pound boat through city streets with a manual shift pickup....you'll change your homophobic spew right quick! < insert obligatory smiley emoticon here >

Tell me Santa, Sail or Motor, which of these are gay?
