Default Anyone get grief for having an automatic

Just curious if anyone has gotten grief for having an automatic. I have several times since I've had the car.

We try not to make fun of people with autos. But after you learn to drive that one, get one WITHOUT training wheels...

Also j/k... I'd have an auto if my Stang was my DD AND I lived in an area with a LOT of traffic.

Just having a little fun with you, but if I had found a Stang that had everything I wanted I would have gotted an auto. Although I wanted a 5 speed I would have setteled for an auto if I had to.

It seems like I'm always driving in a parking deck.

no...only from myself.

my old 03 GT was an auto I bought for about $14k @ 41,000 miles

vs. a 04 GT stick for almost $18k with 60,000 miles


no brainer for me. Made sure to buy the stick this time.
