New Re: If you're willing to do it
You need to understand: just about everyone drives a manual over here, all the time, in traffic and out of it.

I don't even think about changing gear. The whole "off gas/clutch in/change gear/clutch out/on gas" thing is completely automatic. Up and down the box.

Har de har see what I did there etc.

New automatic transmission?
That's not driving—that's steering.

But halfway up a steep hill (Broadway or California) in San Francisco, waiting for the light to change, with the following car a dozen centimeters from one's rear bumper, one has been times past grateful for the technology. On level ground, though, give me a proper clutch.

cordially,
