Towing with Auto vs. Manual opinions. Looking for a TV

"You can't drink coffee while you're driving if you have a manual tranny."

I currently have completely torn ligaments in my right shoulder, I cant even pick up a 20oz cappuccino without extreme pain unless I use my left. Waiting for surgery in August but will still take 2-3 months to fully heal. I drive my 5 speed SAAB around using completely my left to steer and shift. I have learned amazing dexterity with my left. So hopefully once I'm done here I WILL be able to row gears and drink coffee! hahaha.
