I don't race from lights. I don't track my car. I just drive to work every day and the joy of driving remains as I notch through the gears.

There's always been some kind of excuse for driving an automatic and only VERY recently has that excuse become "because it's quicker." It used to be traffic or sharing the car but that's not the case anymore. You can keep your fraction of a second and whatever the acronym of the month is for this edition of the manumatic, I will row my own boat so long as the option remains available.
I feel the same..I would maybe rock a DCT/DSG whatever theyre call as a second car...(maybe to replace my current daily/beater/commuter) but my fun car needs 3 pedals(with a clutch that I can see)

Anything that can do anything on his own is automatic (climate control in the car can be operated manually but can be automatic as well) headlights can be auto or manually operated...so these tranny that can shift by themselves are automatics end of the story.
