That the government mandated ALL car manufactures to only produce automatic transmissions. And all manual cars needed to report to their dealership for an automatic replacement. Now the replacement couldn’t happen…but as far as manufactures producing all autos…it could happen! I know how good some auto trannys are (dsg,smg) but I don’t care…I still love driving a stick and no mattter how better the auto trannys get I refuse to own a sports car with no 3rd pedal. That is all. ---

[quote=“cougarspeed,post:3,topic:39715"”] That was not a dream…It was a nightmare. [/quote] Yup. Please never force me to drive a car that offers less control. I like being able to downshift while on a steep downhill during the winter, and have a smooth transition to engine braking. ---

Glass half empty eh? I was once in a place where almost all cars were Manual, maybe you should go there? Buy a ticket to Europe, even the rentals are stick. :tspry: X… ---
