[DML] Re: Automatic vs. Stick

["bluemax86" <massimot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is just my opinion, but if you are going to buy a sports car 
why on earth would you buy an automatic. A sports car is meant to 
be "driven". So if you like "driving" the car and not using it as a 
daily driver then go for the manual.

My personal pet peeve, people who buy a Porche with an auto gear 
box. They should buy a Volvo instead.

No offense to any auto owners out there.
