  • I’m a computer guy and view an automatic as just that: Automation to do away with a needless repetitive task. Not to say that I missed your analogy, but “full control” is an awfully overblown way to put it when it comes to a manual unless you’re doing NASCAR or something. Our programmers and engineers know what they’re doing. Your car can automatically shift gears and do more than well enough to get you to work and back.


  • Learned automatic then later manual out of necessity and this is just nuts to me. People enjoy that? Driving is already fairly obnoxious just getting around traffic and the extra tedium of having to shift gears at every stop and go was awful. This has to be some kind of Stockholm syndrome or nostalgia or something
