damn right there, i miss my auto box
hell yeah...
oddly my dad used to say 'never want an auto' he had a problem though, he'd always wanted a jaguar. Upon buying a jaguar some years later, it had been less than a week before saying 'ok i was wrong, auto for teh win!!!1111)
brother used to say 'never want an auto' upon his family expanding, and the need for a larger diesel estate car, he bought a 98 mercedes E300 turbodiesel, of course its an auto... shock horror, he's now a convert, auto is just so much easier to deal with on a day to day basis..
traffic moves slower now than it did 20 years ago, and the opportunity to have some fun beind the wheel is small on the road, so the lower day to day stress levels an auto provides far outweigh the one day per year you are hooning down a B road..
