I drink coffee, talk on the phone, text, etc... and still have to shift gears! And I can do all that and still maintain the speed limit!

I know...I drove Sticks for years and did fine too...but there was that ocassional "coffee spill of the day" so I went automatic this time around.

No, I know Bill.....and he has typically locked his car away....but I have a feeling this time around it's going to see some asphalt.

How would you like to get pulled over by this?





He targets aggressive drivers only... not the people going 5 to 10 over the speed limit. I told him my story and he never entices people to race... he said he doesn't have to.

If he tries to get people to race him, then it is entrapment... even he aggreed that it was.

He said he doesn't have to try to get people to race... they do it on their own with him just sitting at a light. Mustangs, Camaros, imports, bikes... you name it.

Looks so tame, I wonder what's under the bonnet? At least they get an A+ for style points.

The Auto/Manual debate is hilarious.


I agree... Auto is the way to go for the track.

On the street: It's just way too much fun with a manual and I didn't buy my car for comfort I bought it for the "Oh sh*t" Factor.


Not knowing how to drive a stick was no excuse

The "Oh sh*t factor" can go both ways. Fly remember when you killed it in my driveway
