Re: [DML] Automatic vs. Stick

["bravoracer" <kingme8@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

VideoBob makes an excellent point, the traffic where I live is 
horrible, just stop and go traffic. thats one of the reasons I have 
an automatic. The other reason was I just came upon my car at the 
right time at the right price and it happened to be auto.  I think I 
read somewhere on another forum where someone was saying why would 
you need a gas hog V-12 sports car in stop and go traffic while 
defending the Delorean. Now if you live in a long open road area then 
a manual will be more fun, but don't go by whats popular though, just 
go with what you like.
