...heh, heh....y'all can call me a Neanderthal if you like, but I still prefer a manual gearbox !! :)
There's a reason why we used to call automatics, "his and hers transmissions" ;) all those guys that wanted a four speed in their Corvette of Camaro, had to get an automatic to keep momma happy :R
Yep...you guessed it.... I had four speeds in both my Corvette and my Z28 back in the day.
EDIT: I suspect the whole automatic vs manual debate is like a lot of things in our modern society. "Most" people want a "push-button" life. Ben and I are are from an older generation...a generation where people still did a lot of things for themselves. I still make furniture and props in my woodworking shop for my daughter's photo studio . She could buy these props commercially by simply pushing some buttons on her computer and have it delivered. I prefer to do it the manual way, by building stuff myself. Same with a horse... I still prefer a horse that needs a "lot of manual control" to get him to do what I want.
Others like doing things the easy way. For them, there are automatic transmissions...and a lot of other automation as well. To each his own.
