Come on guys, have a sese of humor.

It's ok to drive an auto as long as you know how to drive a stick. Right?

Regarding my English, no I never failed a signal subject. Graduated Magnum Cum and two years of post-grad engineering. Tonight I have one kid throwing up and have been on cold medicine for two straight days. I might be allowed a few syntax errors.

But I still know HOW to drive a stick.

Just some bar room fun....with out the bar.

BTW, I see you are using a lot of Steeda stuff. Me too. Never been unsatisfied with anything from them. I just tossed my C&L Mass Air kit for a Steeda CAI. Came in today, but not installed yet. How do you like it?

Oh, wait, this thread was about autos, right? Sorry.

Ive had two 5 spd Mustangs, going to keep the current one til im out of college, then id like to get a c6 Vette or some other convertible car (has to be a vert, im sick of coupes) Frankly I think id like my next car to be an automatic. I'm not into racing so the 5 spd is pretty pointless, I got it because I don't know, im young and stupid I guess. Not to mention the Mustang has the most horribly placed shifter ever, that thing is so far away. Anyway I drove an automatic GT the other day and i don't see why everyone makes a big deal about it? It was just as fast, actually a bit faster since I didn't have to shift (although getting a better aftermarket shifter would solve that) but it was really no big deal, unless your timing it or something. And whats with this stuff about having to floor it and have the back end going out??? Id say at least 85% of people on the road are driving an automatic, and people these days drive FAST and nobody has problems like that. Ive driven plenty of automatics, from vans to trucks to stangs and geo metros... you just step on it and it launches forward, i dont see where the difficulty comes in.
