			I would without a doubt rather be a little slower with a manual trans and truly enjoy driving than get that last bit with an auto.

And then I remembered who this thread was about. I suppose the alternative is to not drive the car so hard?

I've made my disdain for autos no secret. Did I pick this car and buy it? No. Is it better than driving the Explorer? Yes obviously, but every time I drive it I think of how much more fun it could be.  Do I drive the Z much? No - more like once or twice a month a month to meets...

			Autos wont keep him from slamming the car into Drive as he's rolling backwards.
 I forsee more transmission issues in the future.
