Screw manual elitists. There is nothing wrong with a decent slushbox.

I drive all things. I just prefer manual.

On not a serious note but another unserious note, where do people who’ve driven a model T go? I mean, on the one hand it’s like a manual, but on the other it uses Demon Planetaries and shifts soft... And how about people with Cotal pre-selector boxes?

No, I am. I'll willingly drive an auto, but if a manual exists, I'd rather have it.

the T is still crazy to drive, but I sure can. I have driven a few different preselectors too. I just am a little tired of the chant that manual is the best, you cant drive a car if you cant rock a stick.

I feel the same way, but the elitest snobbery is what I am getting at. “You cant drive a stick so you dont know how to drive”

Oh that. Yeah. While I think everyone should learn how to drive manual, because it helps improve your driving, not being able to doesn't mean you can't drive.

I had faith you were on the side of the un-rightgeous :)
