Default RE: Manual?


ORIGINAL: Billionaire

Can you guys tell me what is good or fun about having a manual transmission?
I'm not a speed freak. I just want the Challenger because it's cool and I do like
the extra power, because cars with more power are more fun and accelerate
faster when you get on the freeway. Manual transmission seems to me more
trouble than it's worth. It's one more distraction and one more thing to
concentrate on while you drive, as if you don't already have a lot of stuff to
pay attention to while you're driving so that you won't die or kill someone. I'd
rather make my driving experience easier rather than harder (I've never driven a
manual tranny).
Sheesh,,,,kids today. I have fond memories of shifting, smokin a butt, and holding a beer at the same time. Not to mention changing tapes in the deck (8 track and cassette!).
