    I prefer automatic, since I'm a coffee sipper in traffic quite often.

    What traffic are sitting in? I-80, GSP, Turnpike? or are you southerner?

    I learned to drive on an automatic. About 5 years later my husband bought a manual and I had to learn to use it. One of the first days I was out with it on service I had an elder in the back seat. I forgot what to do to slow the car down and wound up screeching the tires and 2 wheels. I thought the poor man was going to sink to the floor. Then I stopped on a hill and had to figure out how to shift without the car rolling backwards and hitting the guy behind me. Elder started turning green about that time

    I do prefer the feel of a manual but find it a pain in the stop and go of a city especially a city like Montreal that is built on a mountain

    The last few comments sum up the difference between drivers from the USA and the more focussed and sophisicated European driver - no offence, just different ways of thinking.

    Northerner.

    78, 24, 22, every single highway I'm ever on around here, quite honestly!

    Ouch 78 is a rough go. I deal with 80 everyday and let me tell you... its no picnic.

    So, are you saying we like to relax behind the wheel?

    Yeah, you have it no better than me, that's for sure.

    I've got an automatic now and I hate it! I love my stick shift and want it back. :(

    Automatics are too slow. You have to wait for them to think about clunking into gear. You can only do excellent racing changes with a manual. I hate automatics.

    So whats a little bit of having your face smashed against the dashboard or your neck whippedlashed.
