no respect
Darn it, automatics get no respect at all !!
I went to the local grocery store as I exited my car the guy pushing the grocery carts back in the store says to me "nice car, is it a manual?" this guy was easily in his thirties and had a filthy vest on, in other words nothing on this guy said success.
I answered that it was an automatic,
He replies, "oh well, its still nice."
BASTARD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm over 30, does that mean I'm also a failure? [8D]

you are a failure if:
you are over 30
pushing grocery carts for a living
wearing a filthy vest, pants, shoes
critize someones great looking car, specially if you take the bus home
If these qualifications apply, yes, you are a failure....

RE: no respect
Altough, I prefer a manual...
You souldn't get bent out of shape because of one idiot.
I much rather have an auto Mustang than a manual Hyundai
. Sure that's what is driving.
Automatics have their advantages, and it's your car.
End of story.

RE: no respect
i'm sure the crap *** old econo box he's probably driving around in is a auto as well. the fact is with modern transmissions auto are usually faster that manuals. just because you can drive a stick good there are few people who can drive it faster than a auto canshift. i'm sure there are a few people here who can truly drive a stick good but lets face it there aren't a lot of people who are going to post the same kind of numbers at a track with a manual as the proswho drive for mags do. i have a manual just because i enjoy shifting but i've always been curious if I could beat someone with a auto and all the same mods as me. i doubt it.

And heavy traffic
.Look the irony of that... If you want to go fast or really slow, you need an auto
