Marc If it makes you feel like a real man then go ahead and drive a stick. I learned how to drive a stick, both synchro and non synchro in the desert trails and hills of So. California, but now drive a auto. And I'd say my skill behind the wheel is every bit as good as yours. You may change your mind after driving the streets/hills of San Francisco or other city like it for several years. It has also been reported by the automotive press that todays auto transmissions are more efficient than manual transmissions. I can attest to this as my Audi A6 gets better mileage than my last 2 manual transmission cars. I have taken driving classes and have not run into a single driving instructor who would not reccomend using a auto trans. So I have to agree with Doug, Go take your meds and mello out. gene
